2008 Gala

On the 18th of October we had the most successful gala we have ever had. We had to learn to give change in class. We had raised more than $5000!!! I reckon the most successful thing in the Gala was the Titanic bouncy castle. But everything was Great. The food the drinks and the games.

My sweet-as mask!!

Last term we were learning about design and contrasting colours.

We made masks out of plaster, then we copied the design we created in our books and  painted the designs onto the masks,

 and my one looks mean-as!!!!!

Wellington Fitness

This term, Rm 1 has been having a huge fitness term.  We have been practicing  for Wellington and everyday we have been jogging down the width of the tennis court.  We have 2 minutes to run and when our time is up we come back in and graph it.  My highest score is 15 laps, really I did 30 but we are only allowed to count every second lap because the width is a short distance to run.  It is tough but we have to get fit for Wellington.  In Wellington we have to walk everyday up and down many different hills.  It would be hard but it also it would be extremely fun.  I am looking forward to going to Wellington next month.

Shading

First I thought about where my sun/ light source was going to be coming from. Next I got a light green pastel and slowly started working across the hills, then with a darker green colour  I added shaded areas away from my light source.  I started with the lighter green so it shows where the light shines first.  I used the same method with the sun.

Opposing Colors

I have learnt about opposing colours on the colour wheel.  I used red and green, orange and black on my calendar design and I think, so far is looking pretty good! Hopefully when I finish it will be a calendar design my mum want to send overseas to my relatives in England!

POLICE EQUIPMENT

Cops wear duty belts to carry equipment they may need, like... 

Face Shields, Latex Gloves, Mobile Phone, Mini Torch, All-In-One Utility Knife Tool Kit ,Notebook, Pen, Breath Tester, Ticket Book,Handcuffs, O/C Spray, Baton and Radio-Telephone. All these things can come in handy. With all this equipment the Police Force can save many lives, the equipment may seem a little ordinary but its very helpful!
