Title : Old Rail track

It was a sudden day of clouds intercepting between the sun’s bright glimmer. I was cautious,watching all the animals getting ready to hibernate for a long season of Winter. In low tones, I moped myself just to get one touch of a deer. It had already started hibernating, I was just making sure I wouldn’t be already on the floor as I took a touch.

Pouncing on to me, I was precisely unable to get up, I felt the cold flowing above my skin as I tried rolling myself back home . I was nervous not knowing where to go but I was confident on where I was heading.I ended up in a straight platform of grass. It was a longer distance that I remember walking from my house to the forest. I felt like I was going towards the wrong way, but I went with my instincts and kept going.  

      

As it started to get bumpy, I knew I was heading into trouble. I felt a rough type of wood stamping along my back as I knew I was on a old rail track. I tried moving along, but the rails kept pushing me back onto my starting point. I felt the rush of adrenaline pushing sweat through my face. I thought to myself, it’s only an old rail track, so there wouldn’t be any trains coming through. But then I thought again that constructors would have busted it down if it was in no need. Thinking of trains had made me hear a sound of a train's whistle. I knew I was hallucinating, but as the sound got nearer and lounder. I startled with fear, pushing my way through the rails.

My fifth try and I could barely even get over the rails. The train was getting closer and closer but as I heard a sound of roars,  which I knew belonged to a pack of lions. I was horribly scared knowing I would die one way or the other. I tried my hardest and as the lions appeared in my sight, with their jaws ready to gobble me up. The train suddenly came which scared them off, pushing me towards the grass and off the track, well I mean tracks that look old but are still in use.

I waited for an hour to rest my legs and arms and shifted myself towards a tree to help me get up. I walked liked there was a stick in my leg with tears strolling down my face. As I appeared home, there they were. My parents struggling to find out where I was. They helped me in getting inside, curing me with an ice pack on my bruised leg and arm and a nice cup of Hot chocolate in my hands, ready to be down in my stomach.

Object/Estimate/Actual Measurement

Ball	200 grams	280 grams
White board marker	2 grams	2 grams
Tennis bat	75 grams	250 grams
Tennis Ball	10 grams	190 grams
Pencil	1 grams	1 gram

Today I have done an activity on weight. As you can see my estimations were quite far and close to each other, by looking at the numbers . My estimation did match 2 actual measurements and I was hoping for most guesses to be correct. But anyways it’s only estimating , that means I couldn’t of known what the actual measurement.is .

Title : The significance of Tattoos in my culture

Tattoo’s is a tremendous type of art. It goes from fancy to representing your own culture. It is significant in a way when it is used for a main purpose like for their children or for someone who has passed away . Every culture has a purpose for tattoos and for the Cook Island tribe , it is used for many meanings.

First of all , Cook Island tribes use a type of pattern as in animals , creatures and insects. These tattoos are used to recognized the creature or animal , which means it is treated with respect . So it is just like a totem , which is an object or animal that is significance in any way .

Secondly , a centipede tattoo is as well as critical as animal tattoos. A centipede is a tattoo that is represented on a person’s back who is known as a chief in the Cook Island tribe. It is well known to be common throughout all different tribes in the culture of Cook Island and stands strong when represented .

Thirdly , the turtle tattoo. The tattoo of a turtle is mostly on every single tattoo you see on a cook island pattern . It is known for covering ⅓ of the ocean’s planet and the pacific ocean is the turtles realm. It has been upon most lands and it’s why it has been inherited to the cook island culture.  It is used amongst the cook island to show strength , stability , stamina and immortality.

In conclusion , Tattoos in relation to Cook Island is very important to them and their tribe. It is essential to them in many ways that we might not understand , it comes with different reasons and by my point of view , it stands to be very strong.

Sewing Class - Final Cushion

Kuraia    

In the past few weeks of sewing class at Tamaki College , I have been trying to make a cushion along with my other classmates. As you can see , I have placed up photos from the main steps needed to complete this cushion. My measurement was 14x12 and as you can see , my second photo is a chopped up fabric to get the final size,then my last step was just sewing it together . Along with filling it with fluff to make it puffy ,as I said on my other post. Now that I have finished my cushion , I am happy with what I have done and I am willing to make another new item.
