False Face

So the man thought he was a...  Um...   Hello!  Today I did passion time and I did clay.  Darryn said that I should start with a false face.  He said that it was and American Indian myth.  It was about this guy and a god.  The guy helped people when they were sick.  One day he tried to shift a mountain and said that he was a god.  He failed and the god made him run into the mountain.  Then he got a twisted up face.
I had to finish the clay today or else it would go hard over the holidays and I would have to start again.
I learnt a lot about how to work with clay, join clay and make and use slip, as well as how to get out air bubbles from my clay so it doesn't explode in the kiln.

Keynote

 Did you realise that I did keynote today?

Yeah.  Today I did the most amazing, the most wonderful thing today: Keynote!  It's not the most awesomest thing; passion project is!  Anyway, Katie ran the most amazing most wonderful keynote as a refreasher.  I forgot most things about keynote.  Thats why it was great to have it.  Now it is the most amazing most wonderful and the greatest thing Ever! I learned how to make bits and pieces fly in and around each page.

Artistic

Today I did art with Darryn.  We had to start way back at the beginning.
Darryn told us that the three primary colours (blue, red and yellow) could blend any colour.
 If you blend yellow to make green and add blue it would probably turn turn green the shade depends on how much of each colour you use.  Also I learned that black and white are shadings not colours.
For my art next week I am starting a passion project I am going to do some pottery on a wheel and make vases and glaze them properly.
Next week I will have to find an expert to show me how to use a potters wheel  which is really exciting!
See you later!

The Pattern Trip

Hello.  On the 27th of March (which is today) we went on a trip to look at all the patterns in the environment.  First we went to the park and we started scribbling everything.  We went to a duck pond.  
I hate duck ponds.  Oh, did I tell you that Brianna was my partner?  Maybe not.  Anyway the duck pond was stinky.  Darryn told us that it was really deep.  Then we went onto the bridge.  I love bridges.
They help you cross stinky duck ponds.  Darryn told us weeks ago that bridges were a strength pattern.
We finally got into the pyramid museum and checked out the art gallery

Maths With Chocolate

Hey!  Today I did Maths with Katie.  She called the maths activity ' guesstimating ' and sometimes she called it ' probability '.  We talked about percentages.  A percentage has to be out of one hundred.  If it is out of 50 and you got 25 right you would divide it with 50 then times it with 100. That is how you get it. We used a 6 sided dice to ' gesstimate ' the numbers we could possibly get.  We talked about even and odd and what side would get the most.  Then we did the same with chocolate.  It was a favourites box so we took the different pieces apart. And we each got a piece .
Yum...

This Bit of Cardboard

Hello!  Today we watched an interesting video, well, actually two videos about a boy a and these cardboard boxes.  The first video was introducing him and this man.  In the summer holidays he had to stay with his dad at his work.  He didn't like standing around doing nothing so he made this cardboard arcade.  No one came.  Until this man came to buy a door knob (the arcade was in the garage of the store) and then came into the arcade.  He posted all about it online.  Lots of people came to play at Caine's Arcade.  Check out the video - it's amazing!  http://youtube.googleapis.com/v/faIFNkdq96U

Drama Queen

I packed my bag and in it I put....  Oh!  Hello!  Today we played a drama game about memory.  My turn was second.  It was easy, for me anyway.  I put in a book.  Samantha put in the world!  The game would have been finished then, but Samantha wasn't the last one.  Only about two people didn't remember that I put in a book.  Oh by the way, I love books!!  I felt relaxed because I knew that I was second and I knew that it would be super easy for me to remember .  I'll spy you next week.  Bye!
