My wearable art journey

     My wearable art journey

Today Isabella and Kaitlyn have been working on our wearable art.
We created the base of our dress and stuck newspaper all over the dress.
Also we made a necklace out of string and a bell.
Our original plan did not work, we changed our costume and now it looks great.
We found out that our plan did not work.
We wondered if our dress would fit. I wondered how i could tie the dress on.
The most challenging was trying to stick everything to the dress. 
Now we need to start creating our hat gloves and shoes, and the back of the dress.
Tomorrow we will start working on the hat and gloves.
Isabella thinks that the most fun part was to wear the dress. Kaitlyn thinks the most fun part was making the skirt.

This is my design so far. Today i need to work on bringing a coat hanger.

• 
  I need to work on the shoes.
• The gloves.
• The hat.
• The Te-shirt needs more detail.
• And last of all we might start on coloring the skirt.
• Fixing up the Te-shirt and maybe the skirt.

Yesterday Isabella and I started to change our dress again. We took the Te-shirt off and started it again, I brang some dark pink wallpaper and we stuck that onto another plastic bag but before we actually did that i cut out a flame picture in the middle of the wallpaper and then stuck a peace of golden holy plastic paper now it looks like fire on the Te-shirt. While Isabella worked on the fabric flowers i started working on the hat, the hat now has a plastic broken purple necklace stuck on to the sides and then i stuck a red feather to the side like fire. When Isabella finished the flowers she helped me out on stabbing a whole on the side so we could put a hair clip in through the whole so it could clip into our hair and not fall off. And thats mostly all we did for yesterday and now we will start something else today. 
Thursday 14th August 2014
Yesterday we completed the hat and Te-shirt. 
We had difficulty with sticking all the fans to the dress in time. 
We found out that making earrings wouldn't work in time.
Working in a group was quite fun because i got more help and ideas.
My outfit reflects the element fire because we have bits puffing out like fire and also we have a cut out picture of fire in the middle of the Te-shirt.

My trip to Tauranga

My trip to Tauranga

On Sunday my lovely mum took me for an 1 hour drive to KatiKati in Tauranga. Mum and i met my Nana in the L&P cafe, while we were there i had some breakfast, “IT WAS DELICIOUS” i said after chomping every last mouthful. It was just a bacon and egg bun also a vanilla milkshake but the buns bacon was nicely chewy. The milkshake was sweet and bubbly.

So i drank every last mouthful.

After that delicious breakfast mum,Nana and i trodded outside and started bringing my heavy bags out of mum’s car and into Nana’s flash new car, mum said sarcastically”Hey check this out how surprising that Nana’s car is outside of the car park, i had no idea what mum was talking about, but then she wispered in my ear and told me that Nana always parks her car outside of the car park because she’s worried her car will get scratched.

HA!HA! i shouted out loud in laughter. “That’s hilarious”. “Ok thats enough Nana said in a kind voice cause of course she is never angry, now it was time to travel to Tauranga with Nana and i had a wonderful time.

Term 2

                          Term 2
Term 2 was a great term we had lots of things that were fun first this was one of them Squash it was so cool and i now know how to play it and man its cool how to play squash is first you have a buddy and each one of you have a racket and one of you have a ball and when your ready the person who has the ball hits it with his racket and when it hits the wall and when it does a bounce on the ground the other person hits with his racket and it keeps going on until someone hits the ball out of bounds or hits it to high their out and the other person wins.

Art
Art in room 2 was very exciting we learned about a new artist named Hundertwasser, we learned about Hundertwasser and we got to do our own picture in Hundertwasser style but we did a sustainability picture i did a picture of plants and forest, Hundertwasser was born on the 15th of December 1928.


Music lessons
We have also had music lessons that were fun and interesting, in the music lessons we got to here very old songs that we haven't heard that were quite funny watching and other times we learned to play the te rakau sticks that were very fun and we did one only once was playing instruments to a random beat.

Jamie Oliver day
Jamie Oliver day was quite fun, on Jamie Oliver day we were in teams of our table groups each one of us at least had to bring some ingredients i had to bring 2 carrots and 2 tea spoons and that was easy for me because i have horses and i have to give them carrots most of the time but then when i got home we ran out so we had to get some in the morning before school but that didn't work out like we expected

In Music my learning was about how to use new instruments and learning new music.
I found out how interesting music can be and how fun it can be to learn.
I wondered what some songs were about.
The most difficult thing was playing the drums to a random beat.
Now i know how to play different instruments.
My next step is playing the drums maybe.
The most fun part was listening to new songs that were quite funny.
