I Am Learning To create a wearable piece of art

Wearable Art Showcase 

For the past 2 terms, Room 10 and 11 have been learning about Space. We have been exploring the different planets and the galaxy. We decided for our wearable art piece that we would make galaxy skirts and capes with the planets on it. 

We learnt many different art techniques such as water colouring, flicking of paint, dabbing of paint and blending colours together. It was a long process but are all very proud of the final product!

We Are Learning About 2D and 3D shapes

Room 10 and 11 have been learning about 2D and 3D shapes.

We made our shape with toothpicks and marshmallows, yum! After we made our shape we got to eat it. 

"I am learning to make 2D and 3D shapes. It was easy to make 3D shapes. It was hard to make the cube."

We Are Learning To find specific information in the text

"We are learning to find the answers in the book. It is easy to answer questions where the answer is in the book. It is sometimes hard to answer questions where the answer isn’t in the book (Inference Questions) "

Wheel-a-thon Fun!

Respect: Have a caring attitude to others 

- Sharing our wheels with our friends.

- Being careful and taking our time when wheeling on the track.

Responsibility: Be prepared for the day

- Remembering what day Wheels Day was. 

- Bringing our wheels as well as our safety gear. 

Resilience: Participate in a new experience at EPS

- Ask for help from a teacher or friend if we had trouble with our wheels. 

- Try our best by wheeling safely around others.

We Are Learning To identify and read contractions

"We are learning about contractions and apostrophes. Contractions are two words joined together with an apostrophe. It was tricky to read the words with an apostrophe and find the two words. It was easy to do some words like I'm because I could find the two words easy."

Self-portrait 2018

Check out our AMAZING Self Portraits!

We have been learning to sketch our faces using a sketch pencil.

We used our different types of lines (whispering lines, loop the loop lines and skinny lines). Then we went over it in pastels to make them stand out. Lastly, we added some funky glasses to our faces!

Welcome to my 2018 Learning Journey.

This year I am in Room 11 and my teacher is Miss Moston.
