Art Week!!!!

Art week is now over and I have to say that my favourite piece of art work I did during thattime was my leaf print. I like my leaf print because I think it looks really realistic. I took a long time drawing that leaf. For me to Achieve that leaf print, I first had to draw the leaf. Then I got pencils shavings and smudged some colour on and then I painted my background I will soon upload a photo

(link to last year's obsession reflection)

 My obsession is going onto YouTube and watching Minecraft hunger Games videos. This is only one of my obsessions, my other obsessions include watching reality TV programmes such as the amazing race. I like these shows as the ending are always unpredictable. Another obsession of mine is playing the piano, I like playing it because the piano is a really good way of taking out your anger of something.

Minecraft building in Medieval times

In medieval times, both classes has both made their own village. In our village I was responsible for making the Manor House(this is where the lord lives) The Manor house took us 3 weeks to build. Daniel did the outside of the house while me, aiden and sam did the interior. In the Manor house, we included a lot of bedrooms, 2 kitchens, 2 dunnys, I dinning room and a front hall. I think the Manor House looks great, all the hard work and effort was definitely worth it.

What other material should we have used to make the Manor house look Better?????

100th post + medieval times!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So far in medieval times, we have learnt about wars(Crusades), the plague, and about the ranks of the people. During this topic we have done a lot of things to help us understand such as watching videos, making power points and building a medieval village in Minecraft. I have learnt a lot during this topic and now I have great interest in this topic.
