IDrive

This week for IDrive my friends, Logan, Joshua and I worked together to make a sign that points to our classroom. After we made it it was looking pretty good but not good enough so we just added a little more detail and painted it bronze.

 Now we are working on a little man that we are going to build next to the sign. Our project has been very fun because we got to share idea's, work together as a team and try new things like building a sign.

Lino Prints

Last term we had to do a lino print of a flower or an animal. These are the steps that I had to go through.

• First I had to draw what I wanted to cut on a piece of lino.
• Second I had to cut out the pencil lines.
• After that I had to go to a table and painted ink onto my lino.
• Then I had to put my lino under a piece of paper and roll on top of it to get the ink on the lino on to the paper.
• Next I had to wash all of the ink off the lino
• After that I had to cut more things out of the lino.
• Next I had to paint a different coloured ink on my lino and roll it on to the paper.
• Then I had to wash all of the ink off.
• After that I had to cut even more out of the lino.
• Then I painted black ink on my lino and rolled it on to the paper.
• Next I had to wash the ink off the lino

Finally there you have it, that is how I made this lino print.

My School Break

On the school holidays I travelled to our property in Whanganui with my Mum, Dad and little brother. When we got there we went to the cattle yards to collected some wood for a fire in the that we were going to make that afternoon. We packed all of the wood in the back of the Ranger and drove up a hill to a hole were we were going to make the fire. After that we went up to the camp site to clean up all of the wood and plastic that was lying around the tent. It took about 2 hours but we finally had finished so we drove to the caravan to have some yummy ham, cheese and Mayo sandwiches. when we were done eating we just headed off to bed and watched a movie for 2 hours and then went to bed.

The next day we went to Whanganui to get new tires for the ranger and then went back to the caravan and went hunting for a stag on my Dads friends property. When we got there we started walking but we couldn't find anything, but we didn't give up so we walked for another 2 and a half hours and we still didn't find anything so we just went home, went to town and ate lunch. After we ate lunch we waited about 3 hours and then ate spaghetti for dinner and went to bed. The next morning we packed and headed back home.
