To Room 11

Dear Mrs Walters,

I was very happy when room 11, two students came up to me with a prize pack. I wondered what was inside the pack. As I looked in it I saw my name, my heart just dropped and my face turned red. 
I cant believe I won the pack! I said in my head.
A Big Thank you to Mrs Walters and Room 11!!!!!


Thank you Naomi for reading my work.

Art Alive

This term we are learning about Art. In Room19 we have learnt how to do different kind of lines. It taking us time for us to learn to draw and paint. We had to colour it create light by mixing the colours, then layer it with a bit more light colour. 

We drew a house with a pencil then painted it with different colour. I also layer the painting with black and grey. Layering with coats of paint took time. We had to wait for each layer to dry  I couldn't get my work done even shading it finished in 2 days. I had to go back to my original painting and contrast it by working better on it so its nice and looks realistic.
