Tin foil sculptures!

    This week in room 12 we have been creating tin foil sculptures. We learned how to measure the foil out properly and sculpt it into something sporty, that links to our inquiry ( The human machine ). I love to do gymnastics so I decided to sculpt it into a gym pose. After that we went into a sunny spot outside to find a shadow that we could outline, then colour in with marker. Here is the link to the video we used : clip

ANZAC Art

This is my ANZAC logo art that I created during reading time. It represents all the soldiers who went and fought in war and possibly passed. Lest we forget

Instafood

 The delightful sushi and  starbucks frappe.

I gaze out into the store. Right next to the machine where “magic happens”, As my friend lara likes to say. We both love starbucks. I clap my hands silently and clench my teeth making a weird face. Of course A heap of people stare at me but I don't care. All I want is the drink.

At last. the drink was ready and lara has full hands carrying our drinks and a surprise food I didn't know about. We sit down on a bench and she reveals the food. “SUSHI!!”. Lara takes a close look at the food. DE-lish! We think to ourselves. The food looked so satisfying and we were desperately holding on to take a bite and have a sip of our starbucks.

Before we get right into it we are delighted by the wonderful smell of the sushi. Not too fishy and freshly cooked sushi rise. Mmmmmm…

Now. The greatest part of getting the whole mean is to eat it. I bite into the juicy sushi and sip  my delish frappe.

within a few seconds the meal is gone. Yummmy!

ANZAC Silhouette art!

    This is my anzac silhouette art. I did it black on white and white

    on black and I like how it turned out!!

    How we made it :

 -  Found an image online and printed it out

  -   Cut the silhouette and glued it onto black paper   

       - Cut it out carefully again and glue white paper behind it          

                                  - Use the cut out silhouette and put it onto white paper

1. Don’t use wikipedia!

 8.     To find something that is close to another subject use eg. -fishing

 9.     Needing similar sites/images to what you have? related:url

 10.   Use minus signs to disclude things you don't want  

We then used a table to answer questions and ensure we had three sources of information for each question.  From this we placed the information into our own words.

My questions and answers :

Why does it cost so much to change the flag?

• It costs so much because the people who send out all the voting papers have to play for it to be shipped out to everyone and for them to actually be made

Why are we changing the flag in the first place?

• Because it Needs to be instantly recognisable as it is very close to Australia's

I think we should keep the flag for all the history it has made and is making today. I also don’t really mind if it gets changed or not but that is just my opinion.
