Today we had our TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGE!!  It was totally awesome. I should probably tell you about it. We got given a task sheet, string, sellotape, a piece of board, a cup, skewers, some popsicle sticks and a shuttlecock. The aim of the game was to build something free-standing and with ONE hand Launch the shuttlecock without throwing it, but it was the Team who had the shuttlecock go furtherest HORIZONTALLY . My team made a launcher where you have the cup underneath the board and put the shuttlecock at the end of the board when it's on the ground. The you smack the piece of board in the air with your hand, to make the shuttlecock fly into the air. I hope we win because the winners gets a piece of chocolate. I know what your thinking, "How much Chocolate?" Well Darryn said  the amount the launcher impresses him, thats how much you will get!! 

Today was the BEST first day back, EVER!!!
First of all we had to pick which High Interest Topic we wanted they were...Maths Tessellation, Chemistry or Art. I picked Art. 


We  were going to paint an Impressionist Painting. We listened to a mini Bio of Claude Monet. He is a famous Impressionist painter. I will put a picture of my painting on my blog when it's finished. 
We used Arcrylics, Canvas paper and a photo of the painting we were going to copy. Here is one of Monet's Paintings.
