Animal Olympics

Cheetah at Rio 2016

While I wait for the start, I dig my claws into the dirt to get grip. I shake. As I watch the other competitors take their marks, I think about how far the race is. I could feel my heart pounding out of my chest. The lightning rushing through my blood. The others look like they are going to waste me by miles. I was nervous. My legs were as cold as an ice cube.

Ready….Set....Go!!                            

The sky, dark and misty, roars as we try to pass each other to get in front. I see the puma trying to sprint ahead, I catch up. As we sprint through the forest, the mud flicks up behind us. I see the end. I gulp. I see the others start to pick up the pace so I do as well. It feels amazing to be racing in this race. I don’t even think about how tired I am or how far it is, all I can think about is the place that I will get.

I sprint past the finish line faster than I ever thought I could. I yell. Finally it’s over. I stop. I think. I just realise that I am tired but I’m more relieved that I have finished. I look.The butterflies in my tummy had finally gone.  I congratulate the others, then I go receive my gold for New Zealand.

Calendar art 2016

This is my calendar art. 

It is a one point perspective art.

First we drew the lines ,

Then we drew the trees and the ocean,

Then once we had finished drawing we painted it ,

This is the final thing!

My Net

This is my box, it is made for a highlighter.
I had to make sure that the highlighter wouldn't jiggle around.
I made sure that all of the measurements were exact.
The box had 6 faces, 8 edges and 12 vertices.
This is what it turned out like.
