Self portraits

 Today we recreated our self portraits to see how much we have improved in our drawing skills. 

First we had to practice drawing our nose, eyes,eyebrows, ears and mouth.

Once we've done that we had to go on our real one and start drawing the face.

We use Vivid to outline and pastels to colour.

 Week 7 Highlights

What did we do this week?

On Thursday we had class photos with PhotoLife. We have brought home an order form if you would like to buy the photos!

Duffy Theater

On Friday we went to a Duffy show. It was in the school auditorium.

It was a very funny story because in the show they did some very funny acts and all the students were laughing.  It was also very cool because they did these background transitions. Everyone was also very excited for the show. At the end we clapped very hard because of how hard they worked to present this for us. 

Thank you Duffy books!

We made a poster with facts about the bug we chose, then we made animations about the bug’s life cycle. After that, we put a link in on our poster which led to our bug animations.
