How things Grow?

The grass is green the sky is blue.

 The flowers are beautiful just like you.

Flowers grow from seeds.

They grow and grow and grow. 

They need water and sun to grow too.

They grow in your garden . 

The butterflies fly up over the clouds to see the sky.

All About Me Poem

I wish I had a water park in the back yard.
Like a gigantic twirling water slide.
I dream of snuggling up in a cloud with a book.
I am a great reader I used to not like writing, but now I love writing.
I seem to be funny, but I'm really serious.

Finding Patterns in Nature

Room 16 were going on a nature hunt find some flat leaves for art. Some people buddied up. We looked all around the school. We went to places like on the court, by the pool and in the forest. When we got back we got started on doing the crayon rubbing by putting a leaf under our paper and rubbing the side of the crayon on the paper.

Why are we doing this?

Were using the crayon rubbings as our base for our Hundertwasser picture collage.Tomorrow we are going to paint our  background and then cut up the leaf rubbings to make our own flower pictures.

One armed Noah

On Easter Friday I broke my arm. I was swinging on the monkey bars when I lost my grip so I fell. It really hurt and not until the next day dad noticed that it really hurt and could be broken so we went to the doctor. I have a red cast on it now for three weeks.

I drew this in Kid Pix using my left hand. I am normally right handed.

Friedensreich Hundertwasser

We are learning about the art and style of Friedensreich Hundertwasser. He was an artist from Vienna but he spent almost 25 years here in New Zealand.  Andrea thought we would like his style as he uses a lot of curvy lines and he is really creative. Our new Junior Block is almost finished and it sits right in front of our forest. Hundertwasser loved the environment and a lot of the buildings he created incorporated nature too. We thought that sounded like our school. 

Here is our first attempt at drawing in the style of Hundertwasser. He drew trees like lollipops which looks exciting. We are painting pictures and using Kid Pix to create our own Hundertwasser.

The 26 Story Treehouse

I brought this book because I really like adventures and this book is all about adventures. It's name is 'The 26 storey tree house'. My favourite part is when Captain Wooden Head and his bloodthirsty gang are in a song called 'ten unlucky pirates'. I think it's based on a song called 'Ten Green Bottles. The person who has written this book is called Andy Griffiths. And the person who has illustrated this book is called Terry Denton. My favourite storey on the fabulous treehouse is the anti-gravity chamber. It is in the Whitcoulls top five best books and I would recommend this book for people who like tree houses.

The Faraway Tree By Enid Blyton

I chose this book as my favourite one because I like fairy folk . It all so has a lad er that gos to a  cloud with a land . The faraway tree is in the Enchanted Wood. Joe , Beth , Frannie and Connie go up the Faraway tree to the land of treats for a treat for Connie. But the tree starts to die what can they do? The tree roots are being damaged by some trolls because they are looking for some jewels in the jewels caves. Moon face , Silky and the Saucepan Man and Mr Whatzhisname are my favourite fairy folk characters.

This is the Faraway Tree and the slippery slip. I used Kid Pix. 

Wacky Wednesday by Dr Seuss

I love this book because it's very funny and my dad read it to me when I was very little and it reminds me of those times. It is a "spot the picture book" because each page has something wacky on it. .My favourite picture is a table with a hole in it and a mouse chasing a cat. Pretty funny. My favourite character is the Patrolman.

My favourite scene of the mouse chasing the cat.
