Cool colours are usally calming but can also mean sadness. Purple can mean creativity as it's a mix of blue and red.

When Mondrian made his paintings, he would always mix his own colours and never use the paint directly out of a tube. He often used primary colours - Red, Yellow and Blue to keep his paintings pure and simple.

Thursday Writing: Boxing Recount
Every Tuesday we do boxing at the hall so we decided to write a recount about it. First we lined up outside then waited then went to the hall. Next everyone sat down on the floor to say hi to Pax, the coach. She says to do the following values: discipline, safety and respect. Then we started by puting on the liners, this is because so you don't put swat on the gloves, oh yeah then after the liners it's the gloves. After that we started, we practice the jaws and the crosses, the jaws are the left hand then the crosses are the right hand. Me and Salem were parners, I was the boxer then Salem was the coach. We played with fun until it was time to go back to class to eat morning tea, my hands were free after I took them off, I felt excited because I never did boxing before.

Thursday Writing: Smile Poem
My poem is about: Mum.
Her face is like rainbows.
Her smile is as happy as sunshine.
Her hands are like chocolate.
Her arms are like bridges.
Her legs are like big pillars.
Her fingers skinny sausages.
Her heart is as cool as a rollercoster.
Her stare is as happy as love.
Her voice is like butterflies.
Her laugh is as cute as the sky.

Thursday Writing: The Colosseum Part 1
There will be a part 2 if there will be one because I wrote 5 pages so stay tuned for part 2 of the Colosseum.
2000 years ago, a grand and glorious building from the seven ancient wonders of the world is the Colosseum! It's 620 feet or 189 metres long, 512 feet or 156 metres wide, and 158 or 50 metres tall. It is the largest amphitheater in the world and started contruction in 72 AD. It seats 50,000 people and it was once home to battles or 1v1 matches! Contruction was done in 80 AD as the Flavian Amphitheater until it was changed to the Colosseum, it's also a icon of Rome. It is time to take a trip to the Colosseum!
First you start at the outside, there is 80 gates to enter, but 76 are public gates. This allows all 50,000 people to exit the Colosseum in under 10 minutes! Next are the Vomitoria witch is next to the gates and connects the entrances witch are The Gate Of Life - East Entrance. The South Entrance ( Witch is now retricted access only.) is the entrance for Emperors. On the left is gate 76 and the one on the right is gate 1. Going though the South Entrance is the arena floor. It was 287 feet or 87 metres long, 180 feet or 54 metres wide and covered with 15 cm or 5 inches of sand. This is because the word sand in Latin is arena. Now we go down, not up,
because next is the underground ( Witch has retricted access too.) At the underground area are: The Hypogeum witch is a 2 level subterranean network of tunnels, shafts and 32 animal pens. Though the tunnels are a recontruction of a lift and trap-door system. With the total of 36 trap doors.
Then it's the Level 2 area witch is a spectators view but it still has stairs to Level 3,
Anyways were going to Level 3. ( Witch again, it has retricted access.) Level 3 seating was for the poor, slaves and woman. A retractable awning, called the Velarium, covered 1/3 of the inside of the arena and protected spectators from the sun.

"Stay there and be quiet!" whispered Tom as he approached the elevator. "How much longer? I cant breathe in here." Said Sonic from inside the bag. A lady looked over at Tom and asked, "Do you have a child in there?" Then Tom thought for a minute and added "No!" Tom looked back at the lady and said " I mean, yes. It's a child, but it's not mine." The lady looked rather worried before a concerned man questioned, "It's not your child?" Tom staring straight ahead while Sonic said, " Smells like body spray and old ham sandwich!".

Cause and effect paragraphs
One day a man was playing a normal game of fetch with his dog. He threw the ball. He held onto the tag so he jerked forward and fell flat on his back.
A little girl was feeding ducks. She was crouching on the narrow plank. She slipped off the plank and fell into the water because she lost her balance.
