I Am Looking Forward to....

This week I am looking forward to cross country because I like running, tripping over mud and getting dirty. After running I might be getting a sausage in bread. DONT FORGET THE FIZZY!!

By Sean


I am looking forward to EVERYTHING that we are doing this week. I think there will be fast and competitive runners at the Cross Country. The thing I'm looking forward to the most is definitely going to the University of Otago to look at the Rock Museum. The Rock Museum is the biggest in the South Island.
Last year there was 300 students at the Ukulele Jam.

Taieri Tssa cross country

This week I am  looking forward to cross country because I love running through mud because its gooey, mushy, and slimy. I hope I don't slip over and hurt myself.

Taieri TSSA cross country

On Thursday the whole school school, WDS is going to do the taieri cross country. It is the  only thing  I am doing this week, a part from music with Mrs Voice on Friday. When I was five I came 11th place, I did not  do it last year because... Well two things. Because I was on holiday and I just had an operation. I hope I get into the top 10 this year.

Painting With Watercolours

Painting with Water colours.

I learnt that you can go over some dry paint with a different coloured paint. You can use a wet brush on wet paper and a dry brush on dry paper.  I am proud of my landscape because I used all of the information from my sketch.

Painting with water colours makes me happy, because I can do lots of effects with water colours.

I especially like the texture of dabbing with a giant brush to create really fine strokes to build up my picture.

St clair sand dune loss!!

Tom and Wiremu have been reading an article abut st Clair's sand dune loss. Since the 24th of July 2015 the dunes have lost approximately 5 metres of sand. The sand sausages that were placed in the sand dunes have been dug up by erosion. The worry for the sand dunes are the spring king tides. They come when it is a new full moon at the same time the moon is at its closest to the earth.
