Ducks stuck

I have been learning about the illustrator Ali Teo and her fun playful style of art.
These are the kinds of animals she draws.

Jackson Pollock

Guess what happened? We are learning about Jackson Pollock! Also we have an animation stack about him , he died at a very young age 44. He was marred to Lee Kranser

So Mr Marks  said ‘lets go outside and paint like Jackson Pollock’, we all walked outside with our paint brushes buckets of paint and big pieces paper taped it to cardboard. It was a nice sunny day outside.

I helped Mr Marks lay the paint out. There were lots of colors. I saw black, yellow, red, pink, gold, purple and green.

So I picked up a paint brush from a bucket and splattered purple. So I picked up a gold paint brush and splattered again and then it turned in chaotic mess. I flicked and some went on my shoes!

Swimming Lessons

Guess what happens for two weeks this term? Swimming! We are all in separate groups, one, two and three. Most people were in group one but I was in group two.


So as i jumped in I felt the rippling water all around me. Kids in my group made waves with the flutter boards . Chlorine and chemicals were inside the pool but the one thing was you could not see it.

Excitedly we got to meet our swimming instructor Natalie . She asked us some questions. Like what is our names.
                                                                                                                                                     With our flutter board we put our hands on the back of the board and did slow arm strokes but fast kicking. When I was told to have a go I sucked my lungs in, bobbed my head down and kicked fast to an imaginary island. As I hopped out I was drenched wet, I had a rinse off, got changed and went back to school.

Term 2 Immersion Assembly

This is what happened in assembly today. All the teachers had to act  like paintings or art that people like. Team One  had a pretty good video with animals.

Team Twos item had flowers in it. Their video shows artworks by famous artists. They were also dressed up as flowers.

The funniest act was Team Three because every time Mrs Barks looked at the school, the paintings came alive. The Queen of Samoa Salamasina statue was one of these. The statue dougied which made us laugh. When it was the ballerina painting it started to do ballet dancing.

My teachers Team was very funny mostly because of the paintings. Like a car, duck and a pig . When Ms Garden was acting she said she got her ear chopped off, because she was Vincent Van Gogh.

Easter Show

What I am mosly looking forward to in the holidays is the Easter show. It's really fun, last year when I went there, there was a ride could the turbo buster. There is lots of rides that you could go on.

Sleeping in our tents

At night time there was broken silences as you could hear people getting out there secret stashes of food. The teachers came by waiting for them to go to sleep. When I went to sleep I heard strange noises like bag zips opening and biscuits crunching but my buddies could not stop playing with there torches. They nearly made us run around the field 50 times.
