The Olympics

 This week for reading we are doing research about the Olympics and the people who are doing it this year or have done it before. We had to choose three people. I chose Peter Snell, Eliza McCartney and Lisa Carrington. I really liked doing this because I got to learn more about different people. I 

I liked choosing the pictures. I found it hard to choose between all the people because there is so many and I would like to do all of them.  Do you have a favourite person that has been to the Olympics? What are there names and what do they do? 

The Amazing Tree Art

Last week for art we made trees. We have been learning about Emily Carr. She is a Canadian artist. Her focus was trees and how they change over time. She was very talented and used lots of green and yellows. She paints trees and churches. Only a few of her pictures had people in them. She painted lots of paintings. They are all amazing. First I had to sponge the back round. I like the colours that I chose. Then I had to plan my tree on a scrap piece of paper. Then when I was happy with my plan I could paint. I really liked using the sponges. There were lots of colours to choose but I thought pink, purple and blue looked good. I also liked the yellow and orange. I am super happy with how my tree turned out.   Do you like her art? What is your favourite artist? What colours would you choose?
