Ocean Art

Today we did art.We could be partners or just work by your self.Me and Lia chose to work together.Then we got Lia’s art journal and we started to look up some animals that live in the coral reef.I drew a Jellyfish while Lia was looking for an Animal to draw.She chose a Logger Turtle.I did the shell and head and Lia did the flippers.While Lia was darkening some parts of the turtle, I was trying to draw a clownfish.I was looking at a picture on google and it had about 6 steps.I found it hard and I tried about 5 times but it looked nothing like a clownfish.So I gave up.I chose to draw a clownfish getting into it’s anemone.While I did that Lia did the clownfish for me.When I finished, I drew a Pufferfish.when we both finished, Lia started to darken some places again and I was drawing a stingray.

Today I leaned that turtles eat algae and sponges.

 

This is what we’ve done so far

My Clock

Today I made a clock with Michelle and Sama.First we got a hola hoop, little match sticks, black pen, centimetre cubes, small circle shaped paper and 2 rulers.The hola hoop was going to be the clock face.The little match sticks were going to be the minute lines, the small circles were the numbers the cubes are the dots and the rulers are the clock hands.After we arranged them, we took a circle and wrote “Every match stick is one minute.Every cube is also one minute but they are every 5 minutes”.

 

This is the clock we made 🙂

My Moon Lantern

Today I made a Moon Lantern with Eva.We were planing to do a dragon but we had no wire.So we changed it to doing a cup of Lemonade.We thought it was an unusual idea.We started to get it’s shape with some red pop sticks.After we were happy with it’s shape, we got a piece of some sort of paper with wavy decoration on the edge.We wrote Lemonade YUMM! on it.It was pretty big so we cut of the wavy decoration of with scissors.We got some clear cellophane and put it over the pop sticks.Then when we were finished getting the cellophane on the pop sticks, we stuck the sign on.During that time when Eva was sticking on the cellophane and sign, I was drawing some Lemons and then cutting them out.We ended out with 6 lemons.The bigger they were, the closer they are to the bottom and the smaller they are, the closer they are to the top!When we were finished, we put on a green straw and put on some string.And we felt like drinking it!

 

My robot (circuit)

I was working on my robot with Mr.Ryan and the first thing he said was “The circuit needs a power source”.The power source was batteries.He mentioned that “metal conducts electricity”.We had to screw on the light bulbs.After we did that, we had to make our light switch.Mr.Ryan already had the paper ready so all we had to do was poke the split pin in the paper.Once we put the wires all together, we attached the wire to the end of the split pin.When we put the 2 ends of the split pins together the electricity can travel through it and light up the light bulb.

 

My Drawing of a Thailand Temple

This is a drawing I drew when we where doing country investigations on Thailand.I watched a tutorial with Victoria and we where both drawing it.When I was finished, I drew 2 bushes one light green and one dark green on each side.After I finished the bushes I drew 2 people on each side and then drew the sun then I put some grass.In the background I drew Mount Everest  and 2 other mountains on the the side of it.When I finished drawing all of that, I started colouring it in.It was taking a while so Eva helped me colour it in.This took me about 1 and a half weeks.

 

This is the drawing!
