The Petition

My hands tapped the keyboard. Words flowed across the digital page. The lights were off and the black room became overflowed with ideas as I typed on my silver laptop...  

The last patterns workshop! The fun had only begun but its come to the end so quickly. I am writing a story about a dog named Toby (after my horse Toby!) and he can talk and I am on chapter three. It has been really fun going out around town to get ideas especially with out own notebooks! The writer do not want it to end and are going to start a petition! 

  My Gifted Person 

This morning we did some research on our gifted person. I brought my iPad to do some Pic Collages and designs for my presentation. I am doing Jock Paget a famous kiwi horse event rider. I am presenting it on a poster board and I'm really excited! 

      

Badminton

I swiped my pen across the white page. My finger creased around the red felt as it drew a jump. The light from the colossal sun flickered across the room as I drew my mind map...

Today with Darryn we drew our mind maps for a project were doing about someone we think is gifted and intelligent. I am doing Jock Paget, a famous kiwi horse rider who competes in national and international shows. He was the winner of the 2012 Badminton Horse Trials. On my mind map I wrote about dressage, show jumping, turnout and of course his beloved horses. Mind mapping is about thinking and letting ideas flow across the page. We also watched a video of Tony Buzan. He was talking about how important the mind is and how we need to let ideas fly.





 I hope you had a good week so far! Bye! 

The Next Stage

The scratch of the knife cut the zebra as the sun suddenly was blocked by dark gloomy clouds...

Art time!!!! Today we worked hard on our lino prints. My zebra was splattered by paint as I spread the blue musky colour around the background. We need to make ten one colour backgrounds then cut out the base. THEN we need to paint out main feature another colour. In my case a zebra. Cutting out the base took all of my time because it was very fiddly. But I am almost on the next stage which is painting my zebra.
