In The Mood For Murder

Hey Bloggies!

My literacy group has been doing genre studies lately and this week we did film noir. film noir is a genre from after ww2 in America main themes of film noir are murder, shady people, and detectives. One of our tasks was to create a film noir plot. 

this is mine: 

In the mood for murder

Setting: Rainy day, lots of traffic noise in the background, jazz music, dark alleys/streets, abandoned buildings 

A rich CEO is found dead in the dining room of his mansion. suspected poisoning as the cause of death but no leads as to who did it. A P.I is put on the case but can't find anything. The family of the CEO gets another detective on the case and it is found that the first detective was the murderer but then the first detective kills the second detective.

I hope you enjoyed reading this blog post.

All About The Southern Lights

Hey Bloggies!

For Matariki this year, we mixed it with the southern lights to make it more interesting. The southern lights are a natural phenomenon caused by little pieces of the sun called sun wid breaking through earths magnetic field into the atmosphere and exciting the oxygen and nitrogen particles, producing brightly coloured lights that seem to float in the sky. The southern lights (or aurora australis) appear in the south pole (the antarctic), whilst the northern lights (aurora borealis) appear in the north pole(the antarctic). For our art piece, we took a black piece of paper, ripped a bit of white goos paper to look like mountains, splattered a little bit of white paint to look like the stars, drew chalk pastel on the white paper, dragged it up to look like the lights and used a little bit of yellow paint mixed with white to paint the Matariki cluster.

Here's mine!

Did you learn something about the southern lights from this post?
