Tevita Kiwi kick

Add caption
As we walked over to the courts I could see the "flags flapping heavily and the leaves falling off the trees". My body was shivering and my teeth were chattering my hands were numb so I rubbed them fast so they could be warm!. We met Sam and Anita which were the coaches they were teaching us how to play Kiwi Kick? We were at the courts they teach us some skills of Kiwi kick like drop punt high pass and chest pass that was some of the skills that they taught us. It was cool that we were going to Kiwi kick for another year. My favorite skill in Kiwi kick is the high pass because you get to jump and catch the ball.

(The 2nd day) we were learning how to do the drop punt and the hand pass. We had to get in groups of 2 to try out our skills. The first skill was the hand pass it was pretty easy but I kept on hitting the ball at the wrong way! We played this other game that we have to roll the ball under our legs and if you get through you will get a point and I always get it through my partner’s leg.



(The 3rd day) we were playing games for the whole time. The first game we were playing was over the bridge we were only allowed to use drop punt and hand pass? The game was about the first one to get the ball on the ground gets a point.  And if do a little kick you do not get a point. That was the best time at Kiwi Kick the end

Tevita Picasso/Matisse


Picasso and Matisse were two painters that drew two Women with a hat. They were born in the same era. Picasso was born in October the 25 1881 in spain. Matisse was born in December 31 1869 in france. Picasso and Matisse met in france and became life long mates.
  

Although both Picasso’s ‘Weeping Woman’ and Matisse's Woman with a hat are portraits of women, they have different theme. The  Picasso’s painting ‘Weeping Woman’ means war like sad, anguish, and suffering. Matisse' s theme was experimenting what was fauvism.

Matisse and Picasso use vibrant colors for his paintings they incorporate the same colors like light and dark.  Matisse and Picasso and  their cubism  works are the best. They are known once again the best new vibrant colors by Pablo Picasso.

I really like Matisse because he has great styles. The reason why I like Matisse better is because Picasso's art is just weird and strange and also has too much detail. I just don’t like cubism.
