MESSY MESSY MESSY SPLAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi ya! Well, for our Teacher Led Workshops today Katie, (not me Katie, I don't talk about myself, I mean Big Katie.... Teacher Katie) took us for Drip Painting. (I could be fancy and call it Abstract Expressionist, but..... I'm not fancy). So anyhow, in Drip Painting you just basically thwack your brush around with paint flying everywhere, but without touching the canvas. We weren't allowed to make a huge mess, (Ohhh man!) so instead we just did the exact same thing but making sure we weren't coating ourselves in paint..... Or the other person. You can also go on a website that lets you do the exact same thing, here's the link!

This is one of the pics I made......

It was another fun day at Enrich..... I won't be here next week due to Labour Weekend but you'll hear from me the week after.
So have fun and GET SPLATTING!!!!

Term 4 WOOO HOOOOO

Three terms ago Darryn said to us, "Okay, this year will go fast, actually extremely fast because you're year sixes"

WOOOOOOOSH!

Three terms later I'm sitting here and I'm thinking, "Where did this year go?!?!?!" It's the first day back in Term 4, and what a fun-packed term it will be! I've got my Affective study that's got to be ready by week 4-5, and to be quite honest........... I'm still just getting my information sorted..... Shhhh, don't tell the teachers! But I'll work hard and hopefully achieve that to a reasonably high standard. Then I've also got my art exhibition coming up, so this is where the hard work comes in, and with hard work hopefully there will be masterpieces! The paintings I start doing now should be the ones I put into the exhibition but I've got some paintings that I've done in the past that I would really love to go into it. 

We have also just had a Technology challenge. We got given heaps of newspaper and some cello-tape, to make a chair that would hold up a wooden frog. Now when I say heaps of newspaper I mean HEAPS! So first we got into groups of five. BUT....... There had to be at least one girl or one boy in each group. YAY! (Sarcasm). So Me, Myself and I went in a group with Eddie, Kavarn, Jordan and Callum. Then Hannah joined in after she finished guitar lessons. (Thank goodness I wasn't the only girl) But it turns out being in a group with boys isn't all that bad. We ended up winning so that's pretty cool, because it's the first time I've been in the winning group for a Tech Challenge.

So sadly I have to go.......... :( But I'll be back next week! And then I'll be away for the next two weeks, due to Labour Monday and me going to Australia :)........ Bye
