Birdman visit

When we first stepped into the hall we saw Mrs Naus in a hand glider it look like great fun. Next we got started, we met the BIRDMAN his real name was Patrick Manrow. He talked to us about century legend we wonder if they were true. Then we talked about people who tried inventions of flight. We also got to try flying some helicopters an we made gliders. It was fun we had races it was magnificent . We talked to Patrick about hot air balloons he also had a little hot air balloon that he filled with hot air rose to the roof like a lion chasing a deer. Then the cold air stared to fill and it stared to drop it dropped through the basket ball net and got stuck then it sunk. Then we said bye to Patrick and we all left the hall.

Mother's Day Art



On the first week of school room 30 made mother's day art for our mums. We were trying to copy the artist, Claudia Pond Eyley.

First we drew flowers in a vase. Then we colored them in with pastel. We enjoyed not having to color right to the edges. For the vase we used magazine bits to collage it. Finally we dyed our background.
