Around the World!








Gardening

In the holidays I gardened with my dad. We took the roots out of the dirt and mud. I saw fat worms, short worms, long worms, and even skinny worms. The garden is about 10 metres long. My dad and I have only done half of it.

How we got the roots out was; first you have to get a shovel and turn the dirt or mud over. Then you have to get a rage and rake the roots out.

My dad was thinkling about getting a worm farm, and to get some vegetable plants, fruit plants and maybe he might get some herbs.

The next day we carried on with the work. My mum brought some drinks for me and my dad. We planted some chilli plants that were in pots. Then we decided that we should plant them into our garden. My dad planted the big one and I planted the small one.

It was fun planting and digging. I hope we do it again some day!

Painting Techniques

We have been learning to use painting techniques in our landscapes. We used dry brush for the hills and sky. We used dark tones, then mid tones, then light tones to create depth. We used drag for the sea. Then we sketched flying objects on black paper. Next we cut them out and glued them on our paintings. We are proud of our paintings. We hope you like them too.
