Week 9 and 10

I did painting. I painted Jesus on the cross because it is Easter next week. I used waterpaints, lots of different colours. It was fun. I took some photos of it, you will see them on this blog. I used the Canon and Mum used the Nikon.




We did a lego foot measuring activity in Maths. I had to build lots of blocks together. I guessed that my foot would be 20 blocks and it turned out to be 21. I guessed mums would be 18 and it was 26. Me and Mums feet must almost be the same size. I guessed LiLi's would be 9 and it turned out to be 15. For Dad I guessed 40 but it turned out to be I don't know cos I haven't measured his foot yet, he is at school. I'll tell you when he gets home from school.



I did a ghost poem. It was ugly. I like Halloween but I don't believe in it. haha. It was a cinquain poem, but i've forgotten what that means.



We have been learning about Ancient Greece. Today we are going to play a game that the Greeks play at Easter. We have to dye eggs red and then hold them in your hand and bang them against other people's eggs. If your egg is the last to crack you win and you have good luck for the rest of the year.

We made a papier mache Greek vase. It was hard. I blew up a balloon and then when we started making it, it popped. Mum had a heart break. We had to start all over again. We used newspaper and we made glue out of water and flour. I loved putting my hands in the glue. When it is dry im going to paint it.





In Ancient Greece they had slaves.
They went to bed early cos they didnt have any electricity.
They had wars - Sparta and Athens
Mens rooms had couches and tables of food, they sat around and the slaves kept giving them more food.
In the Woman's rooms they weaved clothes and spun wool.
