Museum sleepover - 5th August

On Thursday 5th August Room 6 and 7 travelled by bus to the Otago Museum for a sleep over. When we finally arrived we headed to the Discovery Pad, and then into the butterfly house. I saw all three tarantulas, my favourite was the big hairy one! I enjoyed playing in the new part of Discovery World called Survival World. We had pizza for tea, and then we lined up to explore the museum at night, we ended up in Animal Attic!! I really enjoyed the night walk. Thanks Hamish and all the parents and teachers for helping.

On Tuesday 27 July 2010, Room 6 and Room 7 went to the Tech block to meet Mrs Duggan. Mrs Duggan came down from Christchurch to teach the kids and teachers at Fairfiled School how to draw and shade. We drew a pumpkin, bucket and book. We shaded light and dark with two different pencils.

It was fun!

Learning to draw with Wendy Duggan

On Tuesday July 27, Room 7 and Room 6 went to see Wendy Duggan.  We drew a book, a bucket and a pumpkin.  It is called still life.  We did some planning steps.  We drew a fence which is the outline that helps you to figure out where to put things. 

The hardest part was the shading, we had to shade light and dark.  We used two pencils, an HB and a 6B, the HB is our classroom pencil and it's light, the 6B pencil was Wendy's and they are really dark.  I really enjoyed learning to draw!

Yesterday Room 6 and Room 7 went up to the Tech Block to learn to draw.  We met a lady named Wendy Duggan.  She is an artist from Christchurch.  We drew a book, bucket, and one big pumpkin.  We drew slowly step by step, this is called sketching.  I enjoyed it a lot!
