Sketching with Darryn

Welcome back and thanks for reading my blog!
"Err" went the sound of my HB pencil. There are different types of pencils. 2H, 6B. This time we were sketching chess pieces onto a piece of thick paper. I choose to draw two pawns, one close up and one further away. We all also learnt to shade in around overtaking places to make it look more realistic, and added on a horizon line through the middle to make it look like it was standing on a table or seat.
I'm not really an artist, but a mathematician and so I think I did a pretty good job!!
Leave a message to tell me what you think - thanks!

Bullseye

Hooray, First time winner, next time? 2 points, now 8, 16... and now 24!!! Woah! "No points for team 3" said Nicola. They had picked up their bean bags before they were tallied! The first hoop was worth 2, next was 4, after as 6 and final was 8. My team was neck and neck with the 1st team. My team was team two with only 6 points!!! Nooooo! Not this time. The fist team had won. Victory wasn't ours! "Team 1 with a total of 56, team 2 with a total of 46. The 3rd team with 27 and 4th team with 6. We had came second. I thought better luck next time. :)

Survivability


Hey, My group learnt about... Survivability! And what it can do. And that linked to our Concept Curriculum (patterns).Even the wild, animals and herds can protect themselves. We had to write down what things can stay alive from their prey. Zebras go in a herd and confuse prey with stripes! Snow tigers and rabbits hide in snow and pounce out to catch and what I call this one is a poo spider which looks like poo but is a spider and it attracts flies and it has some yummy dinner!! So camouflage means blending in with your surroundings. Darryn had Kfc for lunch and he said that it means (K)kids, (F)fattening, (C) centre!
Gross man!!                                                                              Confusing to you!
