Secondary Colours and Lines...ART TIME!

One day we took some primary colours and mixed them together...voila!  We created secondary colours...purple, green and orange.  These three colours scream "Hallowe'en" so we created art using only secondary colours...a pumpkin. a Frankenstein head and a witches hat!






We also have been learning about all the different kinds of lines there are...vertical, horizontal, pointy and curvy.  We had to fill 8 boxes with a different kind of line...some of us even invented our own line like 'tornado'!





Before reading the poem called 'Help', we had to draw what we thought the monster looked like.  After reading the poem together, we visualized what the monster really looked like...seven legs!

Love the monster on the head!!!

Happy Birthday, Anyuan, Pumpkin Seed Estimation and Wicked Wind



Happy Birthday, Anyuan!  Hope you have a 'whale' of a time!

Today, Mason and Jacob took the 'guts' out of our pumpkin...then Hannah and Ashlynn cleaned the seeds and placed them on paper to dry.  Later, we decided the best strategy to count our pumpkin seeds was to place them in groups of ten.  Mason came closest to estimating the number of seeds in our very large pumpkin...he guessed 340 and there were actually 653!!!  Mrs. A only estimated 200 pumpkin seeds.  Take a look at our Fotobabble about our pumpkin seed inquiry!



I had to record this on my iphone!  Wicked wind today...power out and lots of things blowing around...
