Emily Carr art term 2 art

 This term my class has been learning about a famous Canadian artist named Emily Carr. Sadly Emily passed away 2 March 1945. Emily had a painting that was sold after she was dead for 3.9 million she really liked to paint trees and had a funky style. Here's a picture of a painting that Emily Carr made.

You can search up Emily Carr's paintings and there are a heap of pictures on google that she made.

So my class painted trees. First we used a sponge and painted 2-3 colours of paint onto a piece of paper. Then we had to draw on a piece of a visual on what we wanted our tree to look like. After that we had to look at our visual and try and paint it on our painting after they had dried. We also added grass at the bottom and we are very proud of us. 

Do you like my painting? Do this make you want to research about Emily Carr more?

Tips to find out if and article is true or fake!

 This week my class has been learning ways on how to find out if articles tell real or fake stories. Here is my Canva poster about tips to see if an article is true or fake.

I did it by using Canva and finding a background that's not to busy so then you can read the words. I tried to make a good colour combination so it is more pleasing to the eye. Then I thought of a few tips that I thought were good enough and put them on. After I let you know that I did it by finding a design of cool text and put a heading on. Have you ever made a poster on Canva before?

Some Cool Pluto facts.

 Here is my Pluto website. Last week my class learned all about Pluto we also have been learning to make google sites.

I made it by going into my drive and clicking new then I went to more at the bottom and clicked on Google site. I started by stating the facts that I knew about Pluto and put in a picture. After that I went on a website got a picture about Pluto and found out how long it takes Pluto to get around the Sun. It takes 247.9 Earth years for Pluto to make one orbit around the Sun, at an average speed of 10,623 miles per hour (17,096 kilo meters per hour). I think I did pretty well with the website however I think I could have done better. I know a lot of things about Pluto now. Do you think Pluto should become a planet once again?

The Crazy Cross Country

 I have been learning about pacing myself and to try and not stop as much. By this I mean keeping energy for the final sprint at the end.

I am trying to get better at running because know I am a senior I can go to West Coast Cross Country.

 

I didn’t really run at the end but that is okay because I am very proud of the place I came. When I was running there was one competitor in front like way in front and the rest behind me I didn’t want anyone to pass me so I stopped and they stopped at the same time so I could keep in front of them. I came second place and I will be going to the West Coast Cross Country.

Our amazing ANZAC writing

 This is our ANZAC writing that we did last term and how we made it. I learn’t how to make a piece of paper look old so we could make our writing look old. Here is a picture.

It's a long process but the finishing product looks really cool.

This is how we made it.

We made it by writing letters on our computers from a perspective that makes us look like a nurse or a soldier I picked soldier. Then we got pieces of paper covered it in tea bags and sprinkled it with a burst teabag. Then we let it dry. Once it was dry we had to write down what we had written on our computer on the old pieces of paper with a pencil.. Then we got pictures of the war and cut out poppies. Lastly we glued the writing, the photos and poppies on to a black piece of paper.

Would you do this art for ANZAC day? Do you now what ANZAC stands for?

The Most Amazing Athletics

 Here is a picture at the athletics.

First I had discus, it went well. My first throw was better than my second but my third throw was the biggest throw I have ever done before. My old personal best was 19.60m and that one was 22m I was so proud of myself I came first by 7m. I also did 80m, High jump, Long jump and 50m I didn’t place with any of them. For Shot put I think I got 6.62m and bet all of the boys and girls by 1m. I also made it into West coast athletics because this is districts. I made it into west coast for 50m which was a surprise because I thought I did better in 80m than 50m, I also made it for Discus and Shot put, which I am very excited for. Do you like athletics? Are you good at it?
