Thank you!

A big thanks to all those people who have visited our blog over the past few weeks. This will most likely be my last post as Room 20 teacher as I am off to work for Massey University for two terms.

In the holiday I went to the movie to see  17 again  with my mum . The next day after that we had a day out at  the shop for about 4 hours, then come back to my house. Then the day after that I went to the pool for the holiday programme  for 2 days and I saw my friend.  For the first day there we made t-shirts then my last day that I was there we went to the herb farm.  The time that I went home was at 3:00 i walk to my mums work. On one day in the holiday I got a will when i got home my dad started it so me and my mum and dad and me could play it then we had to drop dad off at his friend's to go to play something then me and mum  went to get something then came home to watch some dvd.  Then I went to bed at 9:30.   I had so much fun in the holidays with my mum and dad and my Nana, I had so much much fun in the holidays.

Dr Seuss Collage Art

We are learning to use collage for effect.

First we got our stuff organised and got our paper ready.

Then we ripped the coloured paper into little bits and stuck it on. After that we did some painting. Next we got some paper and used it for effect. Then we went through and made sure the paper was glued on well. After we had another check and filled in all the gaps. We used more collage then paint. It took a very long to get it finished but it was fun.
