Calendar art

Wow!We are going to do calendar art. I think and come up with an idea. Then everyone comes up with an idea. Then we go away and start.I came up with a small house by a lake with big mountains at the back .First we do a draft. Then we do our proper one.When I do my proper one I change my lake into a stream. It is fun doing calendar art. Everyone does a good job. Everyone does a good job .Most people buy their calender art. People are happy for what they did.

gala

Hi my name is Ella I go to Waikawa Bay.I'm going to tell you about our school gala. When the day came I was up like a rocket. When we got  there I started to help.It was time  to go shopping at the white elephant.  I did really get a good buy. After this I went to the bungee. It was awesome. My dad did the lolly jar. Our principal was the person that you  could throw a wet sponge at. It was the best day.

Wonderfull Calendar

YES COOL CALENDAR  ART! When Mrs Easton said we were going to do calendar art my heart leaped with excitement.I wonder what kind of art we have to do.Then it was like Mrs Easton read my mind, 'we are going to do maori art' . Awesome, I whispered to my self I've got just the right idea a perfect picture. Well maybe not perfect but sertenley something that I could look at for the rest of the year .                                                                                                                                                              Now lets get started .I started to sketch my way through it all, after  I had done that it was time for colouring. Colour streamed across the page, light shined around.                                               

Time was running out, a the clock went tick tick tick tick. I had to hurry- lucky it was only my draft.The next art session I got on to my real copy, and when I was finished my heart was not just leaping  it was jumping, it was thumping. Bu boom bu boom.                                                                                                                                                                                        By Rachael
