Rainy Day

WALT : To use crayon and dye to show movement and ripples in a weather feature.

On Monday we made a piece of art showing a rainy day.  First we drew the rain and the puddles then if we wanted to we could draw a rainbow but we had to draw it dark so that the dye would go over it. 

Then we dyed it three different types of colors Grey,Dark Blue,Light Blue. We put each color in patches so that it looked like clouds.

Penguin art

WALT: To use paint to create the effect of the feathers.

A couple of weeks ago we made penguins.  

We did our penguins in steps our first step was to sketch a penguin, our second step we painted our penguin black. Our next step was to paint  the orange and yellow then we painted our white. Our final step was to do the gray and the green eye.

Antarctica

Last week we went to the antarctic center because we are studying Antarctica and one of our activity were  writing a description about Antarctica.

Antatica

Ffffrrreeeeeezzzzzzing!!! Crispy,ice frostland! Antarctica is actually its own continent out of seven contents in the world.It is  also a desert because it never rains in Antarctica.

Did you know that Antarctica is 25% bigger than Europe and it doubles the size in winter because of the sea ice that forms around the land. It is twice the size of Australia and it's the southernmost continent.

Antarctica is like a frozen wasteland ,but  If you look at Antarctica closely you can see that the shape of Antarctica can look like a unicorn and other sorts of animals and people like a lion,a rhino  or, an old lady looking down.the color is a white and a gray and it can in some alleyway there is no snow but it is brown and rocky.

Amazing the snow is actually 2.5km deep amazing right.it's  hard to believe but under all the snow and ice there is actually land. Also antarctica has a volcano called Mt Erebus and is most southerly active volcano in the world.

Even though it is cold place it would be the place for adventure and to explore.
