Marc Chagall

     

Marc Chagall

Born: July 7, 1887

Died: March 28, 1985 (He was 97 when he passed away)

Nationality: Russian-French

Known for: Paintings, Stained Glass and Ceramics

He was the eldest of the 9 children. Before WW1 he traveled between Saint Petersburg, Paris and Berlin. He was a Conscript in the Russian Empire. He spent the wartime years in Soviet Belarus, becoming one of the most famous artists in the world. 

Chagall was awarded the Carnegie prize Third prize in 1939 for "Les Fiances" which you can see below.

 

I like this artwork because the blue color fits with the stained glass and the style behind it.

This artwork is very unique because of the animal and the man looking at each other. The circle in the middle is clever as it links the human and animal together.

High Dive Giraffes

 After the giraffes stop, another giraffe is hanging upside-down and the music changes into a terrifying horrific sound. The giraffes stood there looking like they are thinking of something. They want to save the giraffe that is upside-down. The giraffe sees a CCTV cam, it's like someone is trying to watch or kill them. The giraffe licks or uses it's head to block it from watching them. The tower of giraffes help the upside-down giraffe back down to the ground. The tower of giraffes run to find the exit of the facility. As they run, 10 minutes later they find the exit to get away from the building forever and stay back in the wildlife forever. (My version)

Advent

This week we looked at the NZ symbols for Advent... Enjoy

 

Flowers reminds us that we have hope for Jesus and the opportunities he brings.

Purple reminds us Advent is a time to prepare for Jesus' birth.

Families eat and they enjoy themselves as they keep on working on their relationship.

Sunrise doesn't make Advent too far apart, people look forward to see Jesus, The Sun of Justice.

Brightness of the sun brings growth to the flowers as Jesus does to our lives.

Jesus' coming light as the sun rises he knows that people will welcome him and renew their friendship with God.

Flowers remind us that we have hope for Jesus and the opportunities he brings.

Flowers remind us that we have hope for Jesus and the opportunities he brings.

Flowers remind us that we have hope for Jesus and the opportunities he brings.

Alma

Alma was in the doll for a couple of days waiting for someone to get inside the shop. One day a girl came in trying to look around and saw her doll. The shopkeeper came into the shop before the girl touched the doll, the girl hid somewhere and waited for the shopkeeper to leave, the shopkeeper left. The girl went into the shopkeeper’s office and saw a lot of jars that were sparkly, horrifying, floating souls that wanted to be freed from the doll. The girl opened one and the soul flew out of the office and into a doll. A boy came out of the doll and said “thank you for freeing me.” The boy and the girl went inside the office to open more jars and watched as the souls flew inside the dolls. More people came out of the dolls. The freed souls went to the police and told them everything about the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper was arrested and sent to prison forever and ever for kidnapping children.

My Way

I was running into the forest and I felt the nature around me. It was the Forest of the Lost. I was walking alone. I felt  my legs shaking and fear flowed throughout my body as I remembered my family problems at home.

My family problems started when we got low on supplies and money. I felt my family was tearing apart. I was calm but sad at the same time. I helped my family by making and selling wood sculptures to earn money. I felt happy and stress-free. We now had enough money to buy supplies.

Now I walk through the Forest of the Lost but I'm no longer lost. I'm feeling alive and free knowing that poverty is no longer a problem for my family.

Journal Level 3 May 2020: The Longest Walk

 The Longest Walk

The Rapsey Family used the route Te Araroa, which means “The Long Pathway”. The Rapsey family started at Cape Reinga then finished at Bluff, the areas they passed through were Te Oneroa-a-Tohe on the 2nd day of their walk, Te Oneroa is a Ninety Mile Beach and has 88 kilometres of sand. Next they reached Tamaki Makaurau which is a major city in the north island of New Zealand. They then visited the Blue Lake, The Blue Lake has one of the clearest freshwater in the world even if the bottom of the lake is 70 metres deep, you can still see the bottom. The Rapsey Family stayed at Tramping Huts and houses. I think The Rapsey family is the first family who did the record breaking walk from Cape Reinga to Bluff.

Dear Diary,

Everyday kids in my school keep looking at me with weird faces, saying insulting stuff and bullying me... I haven't told anyone  even my family about why I haven't cutted my hair. I had to go to a Restorative meeting with my mum and dad and one the bullies and her parents. The bully kept on lying and falsely to the given questions by the principal. So my teacher came in and heard every single answer of the bully, my teacher told the principal everything about the bully but the bully said, "where is the evidence?" My teacher showed them all the clips of the CCTV and that made the principal very angry and told the bully "YOU ARE EXPELLED FOR 5 DAYS!!!" The bully said "What?! That is so unfair! You should expel that girl for having big hair!!" The principal said "No, you shouldn't Judge people by their looks especially her! You are expelled for 5 days and that's final!" The bully and her parents left the meeting. I was happy because I will never get bullied by her again.

Brother's love

As they wake up in the early morning, they are eating breakfast and after eating their breakfast, the boy is making a never ending smile as they walk outside of the house to play in the neighborhood.

While they were playing in the neighborhood. The dog saw them playing so the dog ran at his sister but the sister’s brother protected her from the dog’s scratch and hit his face.

When the dog scratched the brother’s face, he cried a lot and became unconscious. After that his Mother saw his son’s face and she was shocked then she took him to the hospital with his sister.

While at the hospital in a few days later, He woke up and hugged his mom for taking care of him then his mom told him to look him in the mirror and then he look and saw his face all stitched up with a bit of dry blood but he was still proud for protecting his sister from the dog scratch. 

Journal Level 3 February 2012: Silas the Stretcher-Bearer (Telegram)

Meanwhile, the 19th and the first half of the 20th-century telegrams were commonly utilized to send critical or vital news. Telegrams were important back in WW1 as they permitted people to interact with other people on the battlefield or to send an urgent broadcast to the other troops. Some soldiers sent reports to their families, and soldiers on the front line were able to send data to and collect information from the officers in their headquarters throughout World War One and Two.

10 Second Drama

Yesterday, for drama we began a study on Rapunzel. Instead of reading the story we had to design an article to 10 Second drama around different artifacts associated with the Fairy tale.

The artifacts consisted of: a black cape, bird/nest necklace, padlock & key and lastly a crown. 

Here is the article my group constructed around the artifact our group chose.

                         Match Box Diary (Steam Ship Station)

-In the Steam Ship Station with the First night the ground of the steamship station was cement. People were sleeping, snoring and walking. I saw a bottle cap for the first time. It was really cold, someone woke up and said "Shush be Quiet!"
and there was no more noise.

A Memory by Chadwick

                               "A Memory by Chadwick"
My Memory goes to a movie I saw with my family, as I 
came into the theatre, I smelt sour cream. I couldn't 
resist so I bought some and began eating them as I sat down in my comfortable chair. The audience was shouting because all of the dusted heroes came back and were fighting Thanos & his Alien Army. I felt like "WOW!!!!" and in the end I felt sad because Iron- Man didn't make it...
