Mr Mr Sunny Character Study

MR MR SUNNY!
24/07/2014
Mr Mr Sunny is a yellow flargy that shines like the sun. Mr Mr Sunny has a big smile on his face. Mr Mr Sunny has a black business hat on his sparkling head. He is the greatest of all the flargies, and the most successful flargy in the whole world. Mr Mr Sunny is nice to other flargies by helping them with problems because he can't ever refuse a cry for help. 

He always says yes to everything to be the most important, helpful person in all of the flargy town and he always says yes to everyone to be the best flargy in the whole world.
E.G Can you please help me out of the tyre please?
Sure that will be no problem at all!
                           
I think it is great to help other people who are in trouble because they will help you too. And they will help you with what you need and want too, and you will be important out of  the other flargies and the most expected to help out with a lot of problems. With the greatness inside Mr Mr Sunny the best flargy in the whole town.
I think it is great to help other people who are in trouble with some stuff that they're trapped in or
can't find etc.

Extinction

Extinction
It's creatures gone forever
It's creatures being killed a lot
It's creatures having trouble adapting
It's creatures struggling for survival in their new world
It's creatures rotting to their bones when they're dead
It's the end of their kind.

Revolution
.
It's a change of city
It's a change of rules
It's a change of land
It's a change of farm's
It's a change of what we have
.
Why a revolution...
.
Maybe we are tired of the way things are
Maybe we want a better future
Maybe we want rules
Maybe we want more land
Maybe we want something better for farm's
Maybe the government says so.

Life on the Farm

13/05/2014
Living on a farm is like living with animals.
We have got sheep and cows and chickens. The chicken coup is near the house. It has big fences and has boxes where the chickens come to lay. We have two of the great layer breeds of chickens. The Plymouth rock and Sussex. They are great layers as we usually get an egg everyday. But chickens can't lay in the winter. Imagine an egg cooked in a pan ... You break the egg and then you pour the egg into the pan. Cook the egg and then eat it with bacon. It tastes crispy and chewy. That's how I start my day. 
We have one hundred beef cows called Angus and we sell their progeny to the market as beef. Our sheep are mainly Romneys which have been around since the 50's and are the most dominant breed in NZ. Dad brought two Finn Texel cross rams and Dad put them to his Wiltshire ewes. I am going to call the lambs "Finntexshire".  The Wiltshire sheep shed their wool for ease of care. The Finn are special because they have lots of lambs and the Texel has lots of meat. Dad also has Poll Dorset stud ewes. Poll Dorset are a meat breed and Dad breeds Poll Dorset rams to sell to other farmers.
Dad got a Dorper Ram to go with his Poll Dorset ewe hoggets so they can have their lambs easier because Poll Dorsets can have lambing problems.
My favourite dog is one of our huntaways. He is black and tan. His name is Rich. I like his colours and the way he  works. He is very good because huntaways bark a lot to get the sheep moving. We have three huntaways.  One is only a puppy though so he is not yet trained. His name is Griz and he is pure black. The other is Zack. We also have three heading dogs called Panda, Meg and Bo.
Yesterday I saw a Cheviot.  A Cheviot is a sheep that has a roman nose and ears facing upwards.  Dad said that he has had that Cheviot sheep for a long time.

Gingy

I have a fat cat.
His name is Gingy.
He is called that because he is orange.
When I cuddle him he feels like a pillow
He  has a sister called Bella.
Gingy is a lazy cat.
He relaxes on his back which is unusual.
He loves to relax.
I like cuddling  my cat, Gingy, because he is a snuggly cat to cuddle with.
I love my cat.

Weta Workshop

Weta workshop
We march proudly to this workshop called Weta Workshop. It was a place where they made movie props. I saw this sheep head from a movie I know called 'Black sheep'. It had real wool on it just like the fleece from our sheep at home. It had twitching ears that were bent a little like a rabbit Its mouth looked like a pig grunting. l also saw this armour from 'The Lord of the Rings'. It was gold and red with lots of intricate detail. My favourite part about it was its sword. The iron on it was gold like a golden flame. Another interesting thing was the masks. I am not sure what they were for but our tour person told us about how it blends in with the person who is wearing it. They were so real that they make it look like their faces. The wrinkly big nose and frowning face was the face of a troll.
Weta Workshop has made a lot of films. I'd love to see more of them!

Making the School Famous

Making the school famous

At Capital E we made our school famous so people will come to our school. We didn't put on our school uniforms because our uniforms were green. It would make us invisible because our uniforms are green and we were using a green screen. So we had to dress up. We were wearing wigs and belts and colourful t-shirts. I dressed up as a cool guy because I found this black wig and decorated belt and a red shirt with shiny buttons.

For the show we all had a job. I was the camera operator at the end. I said on TV that I help keep the books in order.

At the end there was our school song ... but at the very end of the show we were dancing and we were put on YouTube.
