Wellington Zoo

Last week Room 1 went to Wellington for four days. On the first day we went to the zoo. We walked along a footpath and saw a sign that said Welcome Waikawa Bay School. A zoo keeper came out and we went into the zoo school. She talked to us about different kinds of animal habitats and we did activities. Afterwards we went to see the animals. My favourite part was the giraffe enclosure because we could see them getting fed and we could see there long necks and their blue tongues. They were really close. It was cool!

2 More Weeks Till WELLINGTON!!!!!!!!!

We have a cool awesome camp coming up. We are going to Wellington.

I think everyone is going to enjoy the camp!  Because we have raised lots of money we don't need to pay much, we would have needed to pay around $350.00 each.

We all  helped raise money for our camp.  It's 2 weeks away and I can not wait!

THIS CAMP IS GONNA BE AWESOME!!!!!!

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!
