Duffy Assembly

On Tuesday the whole school went to the hall because it was Duffy Assembly. We had a few guests to visit this school. Our guests were Tayla Hodson Tomokino, Matt Johnson and a woman from mainfreight. Tayla and Matt went on the stage and told us things about themselves. They told us how reading made them succeed. When Tayla was 6 years old she was a champion at BMX riding. Tayla won 4 trophies in 4 years in a row. Right now Tayla is a accountant, a interviwer and a commentator. Tayla played touch rugby because she wanted to play different sports. Matt is a ruby player who plays for the Blues. One of the hardest teams Matt have played against was Melbourne Storms. Matt's future plan is to be a P.E teacher. Matt has to read books about rules of being a P.E teacher. Tayla's future plan is to graduate the law and wants to help sports people with contractors. After Matt and Tayla told us about themselves we could ask some questions to Tayla and Matt. When we finished asking questions Tayla and Matt handed out Duffy books to each class. After that we went back to class. Tayla and the lady from mainfreight visited LS1. We could ask more questions to Tayla. At t he end Tayla and the lady from mainfreight handed out our Duffy books we chose.

Pop Art- Self Portrait

LI: To use different techniques to create a visual art piece. This week LS1 had to make a self portrait of their selves. The self portrait of their selves had to be pop art. First Mr. Wong printed photos of us in black and white. Then we had trace over the black and white parts with a blue pen. After that we had to turn the printed paper of us around. After we had to go to a window and sketch the photo of our face. If we went to a window and did it we could see the face of our photo more better. We had to use a pencil and trace it hard. We had to do the tracing side to side. After we finished tracing it Mr. Ogilvie taped the photo of our faces and another piece of paper. After we had to trace the photo again, but with a different coloured pen. We had to press hard. Once we finished tracing the photo we had to give it to Mr. Ogilvie, so he could take the tape off. Once he took the tape of we had to see if our face was traced on the empty piece of paper. If our face wasn't traced on the empty piece of paper we had to restart. Once Mr. Ogilvie finished taking the tape off we could finish off our must do's. On the next day we had to choose a pastel colour and colour the white part in. We had to have the picture of our photo beside us to see the white parts. The pastel colour that I chose was pink. After we coloured in our art we could paint our piece of art. We had to paint the black parts black. After we finished painting it we had to put our art on the trays. We had to wait for a while, so our piece of art could dry. We had to wait for another day. When we waited for another day we had to trace the lines in vivid. Once we finished tracing the lines in vivid we we were finished with our piece of art.
