Making owls.

For the last couple of weeks we have been making owls.I really enjoyed it because it was arty and creative.

To make the owl we had to try to find old unused fabrics and wooly blankets. Once had enough we started, to design our owls in our art book.Then we chose our fabric colours and the fabric for our designs.Then we cut out the shape of the owl using a template.After we had our template ready we cut out our wing, beaks, eyes and whatever else we wanted, and sewed them on with coloured thread.Then we sewed the two templates toghether using the running stitch, we had to be remember to leave a space down the bottom to put the stuffing in.When I put the stuffing in I made sure that my owl wasn't too fat.

To finish it off we sewed up the bottom using the whip stitch.
My owl was awesome, heres a photo of what it turned out like.

Team12's farm visit.

our farm visit. on PhotoPeach

On the 7th of November the senior syndicate went to Miss Workman's farm.
It was really exiting and we even got to try some of the yummy milk.
My favorite things about the farm was tasting the milk and seeing the cut calves.
One thing that I learnt was that when they clean the cow shed after milking the dirty stuff goes into a pond then gets hosed over the paddocks to help the grass grow.
Over all I really enjoyed the farm visit and I learnt a lot.
up the top is a photo peach of the trip, hope you enjoy it.

Juggling

For about two weeks team12 have been learning how to juggle.
We started off just imagining a cross, then we threw our two juggling balls making sure they hit the cross.
This made it easier so later on we could catch them.
Then we tried catching them, it was funny because we got into pairs and watched each other throw the two balls and try to catch them.
Now most of team12 can catch them so it makes it a lot more fun.
The thing I am looking forward to is showing my parents and maybe even jugging three balls.
Here is an anamoto of  team 12 juggling,  If you want  to watch it press on juggling.
Juggling

Our school production.

 

This is a photo peach on our amazing production, Colour Our World.
A lot of practice and time was put into this production and everyone really enjoyed it.
My job in the production was a lead roll and I played Nervous Nellie.
My favorite thing in the production was wearing make up and the experience of standing on stage talking.
It was awesome.

Cross country

Cross country.

On the 25th of August, we went to Minogue Park to run a cross country race around a really  long muddy  field. The length of my race was 2 and a half km and I managed to finish it with out stopping.
 It was long and my legs felt like they would fall off.

When I finished I was congratulated for coming first and I was delighted with what I had done. 

Term 3...

Term3...
We are back at school for another wonderful term, sadly were already half way through the year. This term I'm looking forward to the School Production, studying the ancient and modern Olympics and last of all reading and improving on my maths.
The  two things I need to improve on are my times tables and my typing skills. The thing I'm most looking forward to is doing more arty things.

speeches

In room12 on Wednesday  last week we did speeches my speech was on the discovery of new life forms. I really enjoyed it because I got to experience some awesome speeches. The three things I think I did well at is the clarity of my voice,the intresting content and my facts.
The things  I need to improve on are my eye contact and more use of the stage.
The one thing that I learnt about Emily's speech about Easter Island is there are huge unbeleivable statues on the Island.
