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!

I have just found a new tool. We are looking at respect as a quality and I have found a new tool to help me advertise this. What do you think?

Symbols


Rm 1 has been doing symbols about themselves, they drew pictures and explained why they chose those symbols. Not long after that Mrs Parsons got a set of books she found and brought it to Rm 1, she brought books about countries, she only brought some countries which are the main countries who were participating in the great Olympic Games. We are to be the ambassadors of the country. We had to choose five symbols for that country we chose. The country I chose was Beautiful Brazil. The symbols had to be a landmark, sport, food, an animal, ceramics. It was very interesting, as you learn a new culture and learn more about that country. Its a very interesting project and I hope we all do well.

CHINESE DRAGONS

On Wednesday and Thursday Room 1 started and completed our own, paper Chinese Dragons in our own individual styles.We first cut out the head, then the flames to stick on it. We then progressed to the beard, nostrils and teeth. We folded bits of paper together to make the springy body. To finish off we cut strips of paper and curled them to make the tail. I really enjoyed this activity and I think they turned out really well.

Maths- multiplying in Tens, Hundreds and Thousands. 
Today Math group triangles, learned about multiplying Tens,Hundreds and Thousands,it's easier than it sounds all you have to do with tens is add a zero 2x10=20 all you have to do is put a 0 on the end of the 2. With Hundreds you have to add 2 zeros 2x100=200 another way to remember this sum is to+ 1 more 100. With thousands you just have to add 3 zeros like 2x1000=2000.
