Term 2 Goals

At the start of Term 2 we had to write goals on what we want to get out of this term. So far I think I'm doing alright but could still work harder. 

My personal goal was to do my best at rep trails for netball, but that didn't go as I thought it would be. There were a lot of good players but most of them played together before so it was hard to receive the ball. I tried my best and that's what counts. My other goals were to acheive subjects and to practice and read more. As a fact if you read more you will have a wide range of vocabulary. 

So far I have read 5 books and it is now week 6 which to me is a big improvement. I would usually be reading a book in two weeks if I was really interested. 

Hopefully by the end of Term 2 I would have my mind focus but coming up is Science Fair. At the moment it is going well and we have got 5 weeks left.

Good-Luck to everyone!!!!!!

This is not an Apple

During art we are learning how to blend colors that match and how to make thick and thin lines with a paint brush. At the start of art this term blending colors was the hardest of them all. In the middle of the color joining it would turn out to be a giant blob of darkness and not really I color I was hoping for. Since I've had practice blending is probably now my strength then other things.

This week I'm hoping to paint an apple. With different shades, colors and use my blending skills. Hopefully by the end of the week my apple will be accomplished. I still need to work on writting clear lines and letters as last painting was a struggle. "focus is the key and if you believe, you can do it."

Wish me the best of luck and how do you think your painting is going??

This is not a pipe?

This week we tried to copy Renee Margritte's painting of the pipe. It was really fun and I think that I have now improved my blending skills.  I like the shape I made with the bowl and the color of the background. It was really fun making and experimenting different colors and learning their names. The most difficult part was at the end. Writing "this is not a pipe" in Spanish(I think). It was hard because painting words is not that easy. In the end I managed. YAAAAAY!

In my class I was the second to finish but during the process I was too scared to start. If you messed up there was no time of turning back. Tasks were due in the next day so the clock was ticking.

The next object I've chosen to paint is an red apple. If I place it in the light shadows will appear and it will give me light and dark shades. The shape of an apple is not a normal shape so the outline might be challenging, but this is why were at school. Bring It On !!!!
