Robert delaunay


Robert delaunay invented the orphism art form. He used vibrant colours and geometric shapes too. He came from france. He was also a poet and writer.


He liked to use bright vibrant colours which brought his artwork to life. He used contrasting colours. In most of his artwork, he used geometric shapes that represent a person and an object.

In the painting of the tall portuguese woman Robert Delaunay used geometric shapes to make a lady cooking. He used contrasting colours to make the plant on the left side.

This is my first attempt at creating a piece of art in the style of Robert Delaunay.

Monet-Dictagloss



Claude Monet was a french painter. He enjoyed painting the same subject,landscapes and cityscapes in different days and in different seasons. Impressionist  wanted  to paint  the moment in time. They used the colour  and  light to use for their paint.


Monet created his beautiful water garden at his home in Giverny and used it as his subject over and over again. He liked the way the water was constantly reflecting the world.

The famous paintings of the japanese bridge shows an arched bridge crossing a pond.The pond is surrounded with trees and shrubs which reflect in the pond when the season changes.

Jackson Pollock


Jackson Pollock was an artist from America. He lived in New York City. He died when he was in his 40’s which is quite young.  He was passionate about his art work.


The reason why he died was because he was in a car crash.  Every time Jackson Pollock does his artwork he will be holding a smoke in his hands.  He also liked to drink alcohol because he used to get depressed.

If there was no rain, sea creatures would possibly survive.


There is a part of the world where it doesn’t rain. There it is dry where animals and plants don’t live.

Rain supplies us and animals with water to drink so we can survive. Water helps plants to grow.


Some people in citys become angry when it rains, they forget how badly  farmers need the water to help grow their  plants and crops, they also forget how much they need rain, that goes through the dams and when you turn on the tap it works.

Swimming lessons


When we entered the pool, I could smell the chlorine coming straight to my nose. When I past the entrance I quietly tiptoed like a mouse to the showers. After I had a rinse I slid into the swimming pool, as I was getting in, I realised I was the first one to get in.

Waiting politely I, went under the water and came back up.
After a while the rest came and then we started. “Swim to the island and have 5 seconds rest then swim back” Shouted our Instructor, angrily.


“Straight arms behind your ears, off you go Annliz” said our instructor.  I was after Annliz, so I took a deep breath and took off like a rocket ship. As soon as I got to the end I was so tired I didn’t want swim again. “This reminds me about the time when we did cross country”.


I love swimming because it exercises my legs, and my body. I hope I will be a great swimmer like the swimmers on tv.

Yeah! I shouted, today we are going to the swimming pools. This is a movie about me swimming to the middle of the pool. I was really exited to go to pools.  I am in the second group. By the end of the term I might be in group three.

Immersion Assembly




I was so thrilled to come to school today, because I wanted to see my friends. When I trudged through the entrance my friends ran up to me and hugged me. “ oh my gosh I was waiting for you, for long “ shouted Ana.


“The bell rang”, said Ana. We were late for class. So we ran and just made in time. When we got to the hall, I looked around and some of the teachers were wearing costumes , it looked so colorful.

Team 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 did items, but my favourite item was team five’s because it was about primary colours and I love primary colours. The first primary colour was red, Mr barks said that red makes him feel angry.He went at the back of the stage and started to scream as if he was going to fall off the sky tower. The second colour was yellow made him dance. Then the last colour was blue made him cry. The theme of this term is art alive. I think this Term is going to be so much fun.
