Visual Arts ~ Portraiture

In term 3, stage 2 will be working on Portraiture in Visual Arts. We will be looking at portraits painted by artists and drawing our own.

Here is a video called “Draw Fast a Face” by Kipiktu to show us how a portrait may be drawn.

This video is from youtube so you may not be able to see it at school (unless I am logged in). If you access youtube at home make sure a parent or carer is watching with you.

Arch

Our teacher gave us 6 pieces of newspaper to make an arch big enough for us to crawl through.

First we rolled the papers into cylinder shapes because we knew that cylinders bend in the middle.

Then we squeezed the narrow ends into the wide ends. We could all fit through.

Local Area Postcards

Our class went for two walks in our suburb and took some photos of our Environment. We are using the photos to make postcards with Microsoft Publisher. Three teachers came with us. First we took a photo of the Mosque. Next we walked to the corner of the oval. Owen, Anthony, Wally and Taz took the photo of P Park. On our way back to school our teacher asked “Who is doing H Reserve?” Jennz, Susan and Jenny took photos of it. While they were doing that we played stuck-in-the-mud. Two boys and one girl were in. Lastly we went back to school. Two days later we went for another walk again with Ms K, A and C. We walked through the underpass to get to our shopping centre. First we took a photo of St A’s Church. Hope, Cecilia, Nicole and I took the photo of St A’s church. During our walk I saw lots of people. I even saw my aunty and my uncle so I said “Hello” and they said “Hello” back as we past them, then I said “goodbye”. Next Sara and Sabrina took a photo of the J Restaurant. Sara took the photo inside of the Restaurant and Sabrina took the photo outside of it. After that we walked to the Anzac Memorial Nezzy, Nancy and Mattie each took the photo of the Anzac Memorial. While they were taking a photo of it we were playing games and stuff. Hope,Sheri, Zobby and I were hiding from Kyle. When Kyle got me, I was in. Then we went to the Library Nadine and Vicky each took a photo of the Library. Finally, we went back to school. Everyone was tired. I had a great time. Look at my Postcard below.

Art Show

In May we were doing art for the art show. We drew with a 2B pencil.

Next we drew hatching. Then we shaded with our finger. Lastly we made a streetscape and it looked 3-dimensional.

I sketched houses and I voted for my favourite. I saw my cousin’s drawing.

We drew a street. We shaded with our finger. We drew the houses lightly. Then we made them darker. We drew the street smaller and smaller that means perspective.

And we sketched the street . My teacher put the paper on the display.

Scientific Investigation - Which Battery Lasts Longest?

We wanted to find out which brand of batteries last longest.

Photographs by Sheri. sherry1.thumbnail Scientific Investigation - Which Battery Lasts Longest?

What we used:

We used three different brand of batteries: Eveready, Coles and Varta.
And we used torches that were the same.

Hypothesis:

Most of us predicted that the eveready battery would last the longest because of the ads on TV. Kyle predicted that the Varta battery would last longest.

Method:

We switched on all the torches at the same time. We recorded what time we turned on the torches.

Results:

 

 

The Coles battery ran out first.

Eveready lasted next. Eveready lasted only for 13 hours.

How much does it cost to run each battery per hour?

table battery/hour

The results are that the Coles battery was the cheapest battery but costs more money than the other batteries per hour. Per hour Coles cost, 62 cents.

The Varta battery lasted longest but it costs the same amount as the Eveready battery per hour. They both cost 15 cents per hour.

Mattie’s avatarSWIMMING CARNIVAL

On Wednesday 19 March it was swimming carnival.

We sat under our house banners then after a little while it was free time. At free time you can do anthing you want to.

After free time we watched the 50m race.

Later on we played a bottle top game. You have to get as many bottle tops as you can from the water. Then it was recess.

Next we played frisbee. You have to collect all the frisbees from the water and the team with the most wins. Lots of people got ribbons.

Then it was lunch. We ate food and played.

After lunch we got points for our team. Then we had free time again. The water was very cold. After a little while we had to go back to school but before going to school we got points again.

I  had a great time at the swimming carnival.
