Calendar Art

Calendar art

For the past few weeks we have been working on our Zentangle art. Zentangle  is a type of art which is based on patterns made in one stroke. In class we chose to do an animal, I have used an elephant outline. Inside we would have to break it into parts to make it into zentangle. There is different patterns like mist, crescent moon, static which is stairs kind of and tipple and heaps more, you can also create your own pattern if your really good at the pattern stuff. You can try to make it into any sort of shape.

Here is my elephant that I've created for my calendar art.

Geometric shapes

                          Geometric shapes

Geometric shapes, I have created one that has a point every 20 degrees. Mine is a 30 pointer.  I can see in mine a lot of lines, there is 29 different diagonal lines coming of of one point. I have used a protractor to get my 20 degrees , I have used my ruler to find the  middle and do all the lines.

A easy way to find the  middle is fold the piece of paper one time both ways. My circle is 360 degrees all the way around which makes  it 180 halfway.

cheese

I had to create a Voki , my new inquiry learning is about cheese.
and this is my question.

Strawberry inqiury

                                     Strawberries!

For my strawberry inquiry I have created a video talking about strawberries that I have done with a few of my other classmates. I have also made info graphic on piktochart which is a site that you can use to create things for work like a banner, presentation which has more slides or a  info graphic. I've used this site before and it worked great so I decided to do it again but I have used a presentation this time round.

Here is a link to my presentation Hope you like it.

I have also created two clay strawberries that are blue. I had blue clay at my house so I had to use that because  I had other things to finish like my info graphic and video. I didn't spend to much time on it and it wasn't too hard.
Here they are.

My garden

                                               My garden


This  is my garden that I created for our Inquiry about plants and soil.We had to use Maths , Reading and writing. in my garden I have lettuce, carrots, cauliflower, basil and thyme . I put information like the plant space, row space sow depth and when it is ready to  be eaten. My class and I got our information from the Yates website where you can get information about plants, vegetables, herbs, and fruit .

Here is my garden

Photosynthesis

In our Inquiry learning our new subject is plants and different types of soil. Yesterday we read a story about a photosynthesis that was created about a plant and all the different parts and nutrients, sunlight, carbon dioxide and water.The roots suck the water from the soil and goes through the roots up the stem and to the leaves.Oxygen is produced by the plant and goes out little holes in the leaf. Nutrients substances such as vitamins and minerals animals and plants need to grow . Sunlight keeps the plant warm and the plant produces oxygen.

Here is my Photosynthesis.

My Anzac model

                     My  Anzac day model

                                       For my Anzac model I chose to create no man's land .
     You can see in my model that I have used chicken fencing as the barbed wire , dirt for the dirt ,  and the trenches with  the men in them trying to shoot the Germans . I got the idea from  a classmate and thought it was a good idea  . I like to create things so I got stuck in . First I started to look for a good sized box It took a while . I kept changing my box because it wasn't the right size. I first put in a rubbish bin bag and started the dirty work dirt and moss. After that I twirled chicken fence and put on the dirt ,then started building trenches , I couldn't find any army men so we went and brought some not ten or twenty 196 army men
 [thats  alot]. Finally  finished time for sharing to the class.
