My Falling For Foreshortening Art Piece

Falling for Foreshortening

We had a task to make an artpiece that looks like our arms and legs are coming straight forwards to us like their doing a staple into the pool. I think my final piece looks really good and really majestic, check it out for yourself and be amazed by my amazing artwork!

Parkvale School Collaboration.

I have done a collaboration with some of my classmates to make this post about Parkvale!

My letter to the Hastings City council on Countdown.

Dear Members of the Hastings City Council.

Let me introduce myself. I am Adam Neilson.  A student at Parkvale School. I have been informed that a Countdown Supermarket would be built on Pakis Paddock near Parkvale School.

I strongly disagree with this plan. Here are my reasons why. All evidence provided is at the end.

1. Noise Distractions

The nearest classes near Pakis Paddock are Room 10, 11 and 12. When the supermarket is under construction, a huge racket will be caused and will make the classes distracted So they won’t be able to do any work while listening to the racket caused.

     2.  Children Ran Over By Cars

If a ball is kicked over to the Countdown Supermarket, A child can run over there and get ran over by a car. They can also get lost in the carpark and might not be able to get back to school grounds. The same can happen to the teachers.

Those are my reasons on why a Countdown Supermarket should not be build on Paki’s Paddock near Parkvale School. Thank your for taking your time to read this letter.

Yours sincerely,

Adam Neilson. A student from Parkvale School.

My Parkvale School Report

Parkvale School Report. By Adam Neilson

What school is that on the horizon?

If you’re walking down Howard Street, you may come across a school called Parkvale. Parkvale School is a very beautiful school with a great environment for kids between 5 and 11.

Ways Of Learning:

At Parkvale, we have two ways of learning, Original (Pen/Pencil and Paper) and Digital (Devices). In the first part of the school (Rm 1-16+17) is the original type of learning style. And in the 2nd part of the school, (Rm 10-21b) is the digital side of Parkvale. Both of these learning types are very similar, except that the seniors are allowed to bring their own devices.

Students:

The students here at Parkvale School are amazing. They are creative, joyful and very happy! The school is split up into 7 year groups. Year 0-6. Students are also split into ages. 5-11. All classes are split into hubs. Also, a new MLE (Modern Learning Environment) hub has been formed with 3 classes in it.

Opportunities:

Students here at Parkvale have many opportunities to do and experience. The list is endless! You got sports like, Rugby, Barefoot 10/7’s, Netball, Miniball, Hockey, Cricket and much more! Some classes sometimes go on trips! These trips include, Camp Omatua and Kaitawa, EnviroSchools and the Rubbish Center. Seniors also get to do tasks such as Opti Sailing, Safe Cycling, Fun Run, Swimming and much more! Seniors also have a chance to have leadership opportunities such as Young Leader, Digi Leader, Sports Pals and a few more.

Parkvale School is a great place for your child to come too.
