Calendar Art

For my Calendar art I chose to go to the textured landscape group. This is the final piece of art I made for the calendar. I chose to do a beachy kind of look and I used most of the patterns I did on my practice copy. I love the piece of art I have made and I am happy with it. The tricky part was when we went onto our good copy and I did not want to do a mistake. Also choosing the patterns and where to put them to make my art look amazing.  A hard part as well was when we had to chose our design for our good copy for what we wanted to have on our calendar. On one of my hills I done my initials so it reflects on me. I am really proud of my art and I hope my mum and dad buy it.

Hamilton and Cambridge Holiday

Welcome to one of my blog posts about the holidays.  So, in the Holidays we went up to Cambridge and Hamilton. The reason why we went up there was because for my birthday I got tickets to go on a glow worm kayak tour. We were up there for 3 days and did heaps of other things as well. I hope you enjoy this post about it and can comment.

Here is my Video I made about it.

The dance is about two species coming together and it is different music too.  Her best kind of dance is Hip Hop.  She loves to travel the world but does not like living out of her suitcase all the time. Throughout the time traveling she writes notes on computer and in a notebook for the dances. Music speaks to her and she like taking people to another place.

Reading response video making

This is my script for my writing

The setting for the script

Jamie is playing outside in the afternoon it is a sunny day and wants some time alone. Her dog has come outside with her. He was wandering around the place and goes to the toilet while Jamie was trying to do a handstand.

Jamie:  “How nice! Some time alone outside on a beautiful summer’s day.  Clear sky, no rain, everyone is happy! I love goofing around the place.”

           Dogs wanders into the garden

Jamie: “Hello sweetie, how are you today? You're so cute boy. Oh yes you are. Oh yes you are!”

          

Jamie: “Do you want to play fetch? 1,2,3. Fetch it boy, go and get it. Get it boy!”

         Dog runs but does not get it

Jamie: “Ugh you make me get it too much.”

           Stomps over to retrieve the dog toy

Jamie: “See I picked it up. It won't hurt you.”

           Swings it in the dogs face then walks back a few meters.

Jamie: “Ew yuck! w\What is that squishy feeling on the bottom of my foot?”

          Lifts foot up

Jamie: “Gross! Dog poop! I hate that.  It is disgusting! I want this stuff of my foot NOW!”

Jamie:(blocks nose) “Yuck, it stinks!”

           Walks over to a piece of wood to scrape the poo off

Dog: (Barks)

Jamie: “THAT'S NOT FUNNY!”

Jamie:  “Well that did not work. I will try the hose.”

            Walks over to the hose and turns it on .

Jamie:  “Well I managed to get some of the poo off. now you can't talk dog.  Oh yeah thats right. You are a dog so you cant dog. I totally knew that.”

         She didn’t really

Jamie: “I am nearly done with washing it off, I will just turn the tap off.”

             She thought she turned the tap off but she didn’t and puts the tap up by her face.

Jamie: “Ahh”

Jamie: “Turn the tap off. Somebody help me! I am getting wet! Help!”

            Running around the back yard getting soaked while dog is cloning its teeth to the hose

Jamie:  “Sweetie that is not helping at all”

Basketball Reflection

Basketball Reflection

Write down five things to think about when you bounce a basketball.

1. Feet shoulder width apart
2. Bounce the ball below your waist
3. Keep your hands on the ball most of the time
4. Push the ball down with your hand and don’t pat it down.
5. Keep your eyes on the ball most of the time as well as looking up to see what is happening around you.

What are the main four parts of basketball?

1. Passing
2. Shooting
3. Dribbling
4. Defence

How can you protect the ball from a defender?

Keep the ball close to you so you have more control of the ball and make sure your hand is following the ball so your hand is closer to grab before the defender gets the ball.

What was challenging for you?

Was keeping control of the ball and trying to bounce it below my waist.

What was your favourite part?

I Loved the shooting activity it was a really fun to do and I got a goal from the yellow line. I also learnt

What would you have liked to have learned more of?

I would loved to practice dribbling then not stopping with ball and dribbling again.  I am really good at doing that then I get pulled up for double dribble.

What is something you learned?
