Calendar Art

The calendar art is for fundraising. The calendar art is about silhouettes and color. You get a piece of paper, pastels, black piece of paper, scissor, pencil and a computer and vivid. The learning muscles that I used was persevering muscle because I had to ignore distractions around me.

Beach ED Rules

SWIM BETWEEN THE FLAGS always swim between the flags because if you go out of the flags and there are strong currents and you will get taken away. 


HAVE A ADULT TO WATCH OVER YOU always have a adult watching you because you might go out of the flags and you might swim to far  and it is safe.

LISTEN TO THE ADVICE FROM THE SURF LIFE GUARDS always lighten to the life gads because if you don`t you will drown and get token away and they will not  be a bell to save you because it is to strong.

NEVER SWIM OR SURF ALONE never swim or surf alone because if you drown no one will no.

IF IN DOUBT STAY OUT if you see that it is wavy don`t go in the see and if it looks flat don`t go there.

PBL modle

This is my model. it is a butterfly and it is made out of straws , plastic a,newspaper ,PVA glue , pant and hot glue tap. First I rolled my butterflies head into a ball then I rolled my butterflies body in to a worm kind a shape then i grabbed the tap and then I taped them to gather then i taped the hole body. Then I put newspaper all over it with PVA glue. Then I waited for a day the i panted it with black pant.

 I waited another day then i did the wings how I made the wings was straws, hot glue ,plastic  what you do with the straws is you make triangle shape and then hot glue both of the sides.  Then glue on the straws  on the plastic and wait for it to dries and do one the other-one and when they have dried you cut them and then you put newspaper and then you put PVA glue with the the newspaper and then winnings and then you wait other day. Then you paint  it and let it dire and then when it is dire you paint  the winnings  the first colour, that you start with is black,Orange,yellow, and white. then I lave it over night the nixed day I put eyes on and they turned droopy and then I put a dot of paint on the eyes. Then i tried the legs and it was a fail and i tried and tried  and fail so I did not get to finish.
