Our new friends



 Our new friends are Kyle, Cameron and Hayley. We are enjoying having them as part of Ruma Ono.

 

Today we read this book in class.  Front Cover  What can you find down the back of the chair at your house?

We looked in the couch in our room and found.....


a scrunched up hair tie, and a purple piece of paper. Exciting stuff!! Leave comments below with what you find at home, down the back of the chair.

Sketching daffodils

 
Today we applied our newly learned sketching techniques to sketch these still life daffodils. We really looked carefully at the flowers in the vase and at what angles they were at, how their heights compared, and we applied our shading techniques.


 
We realised that all our sketches would look slightly different because we were all sitting in a circle looking at them from various angles.





 
Miss Eyre was so impressed with how carefully we looked at the daffodils and sketched what we saw. We even got to sign our names, and the year like all artists do.

 
Look at some of our beautiful sketches!
 

 
Following this, some students wanted to sketch Miss Eyre. Here are some artistic samples of their work which capture Miss Eyre perfectly.
