Wassily Kandinsky

Last week class 1/2F painted modern pictures of buildings that Kandinsky painted.Then we could colour our paintings in with bright colours in oil pastel. Then we blended them in with our fingers. Next we did the buildings. There were five of them.We coloured them in bright colours and the colours were between brown to yellow.Then we did the roofs. The colours were between brown to dark red. When they are finished they will look great.

Colour Artworks

WOW! Look at that bird on the leaf. Last week we did line and colour artworks like Kandinsky. The colours we used were blue/green/red/yellow and also we got to put it in our own order.We put a black paint background and we traced the leaf with a black marker.We used all bright colours.
They looked fantastic. With the colourful colours on the leaves. The leaves are very big. Two are in the middle, one is on the top and one is on the bottom.

Information Report on Deserts

OHHHHHHHH!We are still stuck on a Desert and still boiling hot. Anyway we are learning about Deserts in writing. There are lots of Deserts in Australia. There are lots of interesting animals. We like the life cycle about the Deserts. Life cycles start where ever they want. The life cycle looks like a chain but it is broken. The spiky grass in a desert is called spinifex. Animals need shelter because the desert sun makes the desert very hot. They need food,water and shelter. In the Desert in the Northern Territory they have a giant rock called Ayres rock (Uluru).

Last Week we also went to the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. We liked the chicken dance. It was funny. They were very loud.

Excursion to Sydney Olympic park

On Thursday 27th of August 2009 we went on a exciting excursion to Sydney Olymipic Park to the mangorove forest and the dry forest.When we got there we had recess. Then we played rolly polly. It made us dizzy. Then we went to a bridge to look for crab holes. Then we went on a board walk. It was narow. After we got to about half way along the walk we stopped and licked the salty leaves.They tasted very salty beacause the tide comes in every day.The tide comes in because of the moons movments. Then we finished the board walk .Next we went to a pond and tried to make frog calls. After that we went past the rangers base. There was a snake near there. Then we went to a dry forest. We used a magnifying glasses. We said 'it was fun.'
We had a great time and we wish we could go again another day!
