Enviornment Southland

Today we had a lady from E.S ( Enviornment Southland) come in. She talked about the Waihopai River and Seaward Bush. The main thing that was wrong with the Waihopai river is that there is way too much mud on the river bed. There is so much mud there because river banks don't have trees or plants to hold the mud together and it is falling into the river.                                                            

Painting

This is on of his most famous painting, its called Bridge over a pond of lilies.

Today I did painting with Katie. We did impressionism painting based on the work of Claude Monet's lily pond paintings. We used blue, yellow, white, brown and red. The technique we used was called Tache - which means "touch" in French.

Today I did the term 2 self assessment. There were 10 sentence starters that we had to fill in.

This  is my asesment

Also today we played a game. Alana, Katie and Darryn went to see Wilson Makaslill and they got the game off him. We were in teams of 3 and everyone had to hold hands and make a circle. Then when Darryn clapped his hands your team had to jump, but if you didn't jump at the same time or have your feet together or you landed feet apart your team had to go back to the start. I was in a team with Neave and Madison F.

For my talent development I am doing photograghy. I have done some manipulated images. My images all have animals involved in them somehow. When we went to Queens park, I took a picture of the giant tap for my first picture.  


                                                                       These are my manipulated images..............

This is my tapa cloth when I finished it.

Today I finished my tapa cloth that I started last week. First I decided  on my pattern, then I sketched the design onto a piece of paper. After that I vivided my design. This week I finished the vivid and started to scrunch it up. I then dyed it a dark brown. I liked the fish on my design.

Bart Bonte - me and the key

This is my favouite level with the blocks.

I played the Bart Bonte duck game for my pick this morning. You have to get all of the keys which are hidden or they need to be touched by a ball. My favourite level is the one with blocks in a box and you have to move the blocks to find the key. Bart Bonte has a website with lots of other cool thinking games.

Painting

This is a bit what the colour I'd like my painting to be.

This is an arab horse, the breed that I'm going to paint.

Well, instead of doing the WOW dress I have changed to doing painting. I am painting a picture of a horses head with different shades of blue in the background. My horse is going to be dark brown with a black mane and forelock.It's going to have light brown eyes and a smile. I started with lightly sketching the ouline, then I painted the background. I mixed white and really dark blue to make a light blue that I liked. I paainted dark blue right at the top of the paper. I am going to paint an arab horse in next.
