Cross Country

Today we participated in cross country with the junior school. We all tried our best and had fun! The weather was ideal for running!! Here are a few of our photos.

AWESOME ART!!

Every Wednesday we have Mrs Kroening come and teach us and we do AWESOME ART!! We are drawing insects, birds, butterflies, and dragons. We have been sketching for about four weeks. It is a long time but we have learnt a lot. It is really fun. We are turning our pictures into fun sticky dough. We learnt a lot of different sketching techniques like dots, lines, and cross hatching. We drew many different features like feet which can be webbed or not, wings that can be all different shapes, feathers with lots of little lines, and beaks for birds which can be pointy or wide. I can't wait to see what they are like in dough!!
