Hundertwasser Portrait

this year in 7017 we have been learning about Hunderwasser art. First you have to get a piece of paper

senior swimming sorts.

On Friday we went to the school pool to do the senior swimming sports. The year 3’s didn't go to the swimming sports because they went to the Waitahuna swimming carnival on Wednesday. My favourite event was backstroke. I did it with Oranje, Katie, Emily, Aria, Ava and Grace. My Dad told me that I was coming first in backstroke for a while and then the the other girls were catching up, I came 5th. After all the other people did their events it was lunchtime, some people had a sausage with bread and a fizz. Then after we had lunch we got to play for a bit. Then we went back up to the pool to do the widths races. I was in them. The first one was freestyle, I came 4th in that. Next was backstroke, I came 4th. Last was the underwater race by mistake I did a front flip in the water and Oranje told me that Mr Auld had a funny expression on his face. The last event that I did was the flutter board race. It was in the big pool starting from the deep end. When I finished the race I came third! It was the highest place I ever came. I really enjoyed the swimming sports and I was really proud of myself.

Modigliani Self Portrait

This year we have been working on a project called Modigliani art. The main thing about Modigliani art is that when you drawing it you have to fill the whole page with your face, neck and shoulders. The first thing you have to do is you draw a practice copy with a big piece of paper with eight dotted squares on it. Next you draw your face (egg shape) it has to fill four squares. Then you have to draw your neck you have to make your neck quite long to fill the whole page. Then you have to draw your last thing your shoulders, you don't draw bumps for your arms you just make them curved. Then you draw another Modigliani on black paper, try to copy the one on white paper. When you have done it on black paper you colour it in with pastels you have to colour it in  the same direction.  Modigliani uses lots of bold colours, so we did too. 

athletics day

A few weeks ago on Friday there was an athletics day at Simpson park. My favourite sport was high jump. I liked it because I liked jumping over the bar and landing on the big green mat. There were other sports like long jump, shot put, Nerf, sprints and distance. It took ages to do the distance because it was one whole lap of Simpson park. After we did all the sports there was a relay with Read and Woods. I was cheering for Read and Oranje because she is in Read.

Swimming

My favourite sport is swimming I just ❤ it. Every day at school we do swimming at the school pool, it is super fun. 

Mrs May teaches us backstroke and freestyle. We either do lengths or widths of the big pool. we sometimes do an egg and spoon race ( not with a real egg just with a golf ball) and we also do freestyle and backstroke, we play other games too. My favourite out of backstroke and freestyle is backstroke. I like it because it is relaxing and you don't  have to do as many arms as you do at freestyle.
