What's been in the news this week?

This week in the news there was a story about dolphins stranding themselves on an island.

Thirteen common dolphins were found dead near the entrance to the Marlborough Sounds last week. Two more stranded after that, one of which was successfully re-floated by local landowners. They are not sure why the dolphins beached themselves as they didn't seem to be sick.

This is really sad for the dolphins.

Visual Art

This week we have been creating paintings.  First we designed our own avatar on our computers.  Then we printed them out with a grid over the top.  We ruled up our paper with a larger grid and then used the grid to enlarge our avatar.  Finally we painted our avatars.  Here is mine: 

 

I like my art because I like the avatar I designed and I think I enlarged it well.  I think I could of painted it a little neater.

Reflections Week 6 Term 2

This was using subtraction and we were learning to count backwards from the highest number without using our fingers!  This was a bit tricky for me but with help and practice I got there.
