Homework presentation
These past two weeks we have been working on our creative homework. I chose to make lemon flavoured cup cakes with lemon flavoured icing. I also did research on Indiana where miss Ackridge comes from. Everyone loved my cupcakes they were delicious.

This term miss Ackridge taught us how to draw Koru art.

  1. First we sketched some koru's, we chose one and sketched on a big piece of paper in our art book.
  2. We then chose some pastels to see which pastels blend well in together.
  3. We used pastels on our draft Koru, we showed miss Ackridge if we were able to draw on our good copy.

  5. We used pastels to colour and blend.

All about me

Oscar's learning blog!
Hi my name is Oscar,
I'm 10 and I am a Torbay student. My teacher is Mrs Kilkolly and a teacher from Indiana, named Miss Ackridge. I love to work on my laptop and especially reading about the Medieval days, The ancient times and don't forget the days of The Roman history. I love to explore and travel to the unknown. I can't wait to start my blogger. I also have interests in the Lord Of The Rings and mostly The Hobbit, I've always wanted to play a part of The Hobbit and meet all the cast such as Martin Freeman who was Bilbo Baggins and Ian Mckellen, Gandalf. My most best interest is probably The Hobbit.
