Sir Peter Blake, VR experience.

 

Today we had 2 ladies come in and teach us about our Marine life by using VR sets. It was really cool and loved my experience it felt like I was really underwater. My favourite place when we used the VR sets was when we went to Poor Knights looking at the school of fish and HUGE stingrays. 

Refugees

This week we have been learning about refugees: Refugees are people who have been forced to leave their country in order to escape war, persecution, or a natural disaster. The image above is my Mahi I had to do and we had to read a graphic novel called "my name is Rez" it was about a young girl from a small place called Kurdistan and she was also seen as a refugee and English was a language she had to learn and it was very hard for her and her family to adjust to other things they weren't very open to.

Quick write.

 I didn’t know that’s what it was called until much later. I was living in a house in Hawaii that had been there since the 1930s. From stories, it had been an alright house but with strange things that happened inside.

One day when I was having an argument with my carrot on the other side of the phone I can’t even remember what it was about. The pink carrot walked down the block to get a cup of tomato juice and cool off, and I was alone in the house. The way the place was built was strangely breathtaking. There were a bedroom and living room on one side. Then a bathroom with two long dark hallways. On the other side of the bathroom was one hallway that was shorter than had windows on one side that let in a little bit of light from a distance and two bedrooms on the other. From my bedroom, I could look across the hall into the bathroom that had an old mirror, then through the bathroom and down the other hall. I was standing at my dresser when it happened, and I just noticed something moving out the corner of my eye. It looked like a little boy running around. I quickly looked to see if it was still there but it was gone and I'm sure there was something there. It gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. 5 years later, I saw It again but only this time in my dream, I'm not the type of person to dream but I'm sure it was real. I was back at my dresser in the dark and heard a little kid laugh, it was getting closer and I couldn't see anything. Then I felt a cold hand stroke my face and then I saw him.
