Flower presses

At the moment we are hot pokering our flower presses. The safe things that you need to remember are that you are not to hold it to close to the hot bit because that can burn your skin and not to put your face too close to the wood. You also need to concentrate on the job! The hot part is at the end of the wood.
Reporters Drew, Ben W-D, Jack, Dom

Sketching

In room 2 for sketching we are doing the human face. This my sketch of a face. Last week we did a sketch of an eye,today we did a sketch of the human nose. We have been using videos of the computer to do it. We haven't practiced the lips yet. We did lips because on the nose video it showed us how to do the lips. Well mine isn't perfect but it is all right.

Fitness and footwear

Today Room 2 had to clamber their way over the equipment on the playground.
Most people managed well, however those without the right footwear found it hard to keep their grip and move quickly.
Remember to either wear or bring appropriate footwear to school EVERYDAY!
