Get NZ writing

I have been exploring metaphors and descriptive writing through the ‘Get NZ writing’. Here is one of my metaphors that I have created:

Ryley is a bacon and lettuce sandwich on thick white brea as white as clouds. 

Poetry

In writing I have used a poem by James K. Baxter as a starting point to write my own poem. I hope you like it: 

Flynn’s party was usual enough;

It had balloons, chips, cake, party food and even presents.

Flynn, Ethan and I did what boys do at parties -

Played halo on the xbox, ate food, threw water balloons, played in Flynn’s room, and played lego.

Doing nothing important

Koru art

For the last couple of weeks I have been creating my own koru art based on the work of Raewyn Harris. She is a New Zealand artist and you can look at her work on this link. 

I have enjoyed creating this masterpiece, and I hope you enjoy it too!
