We have been learning about abstract art. It’s all about creating works of art that don’t actually look like anything. We focused on the American artist Frank Stella, who liked to make pictures using shapes like circles, triangles and rectangles.
Here is my work:
This week for Play, Make, Create we read a story called I am Peace and that was about emotions. We did a narrative for writing and we had to do it about you somewhere alone on a boat without an anchor. We also got to create something. I created a bubble popping anchor and that was mixed together with Design and Build. Here is my writing and anchor.
A time when I felt like I was riding a wave with no anchor was when I was in a boat with my grandfather. The water was mabe 20m deep. We were fishing. The boat was around 9FT long and 3FT wide. We would be 100m of shore crystal clear water. I had cut no fish so I managed it 5hp outboard and we had oars just in case half a tank of two swot gas. No missing propeller blades to be honest was nervous about making it back because the sun was setting.
We start to jhead back to shore bye this time it was all light the boat had a bit of power I felt the bow breaking the waves break a gest the waved and start to go of course I was now not paying atish and it was my first time driving rrrr I was scared in that moment my grand dad try to stop at the beach what I have done is run the the bow into the beach at 10 km hour i was in biased because everyone was looking at me
To fix this mistake the next night I got a good night's sleep` that night and didn't even catch a fish.

In Week 1 of Term 3, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation. This week Mrs Craig Read the book: The silly goat gruff. It was about three goats that want to go over the bridge but there is a mean troll.
I chose to create my very own creature, critter, monster or troll. ,something unexpected that the troll could live under and Create a wanted poster for the Troll, here is my work.
