Come Down Golden Google Drawing

This week we have been reading a book named Come Down Golden. It is about a boy named Louis who is in a wheelchair. He finds a monkey and wants to keep it. It is part of a group of books called Nitty Gritty Novels. It is by a author called Diana Noonan. We had to make a google drawing of one of the problems. I did it when Louis finds a dog and does not know what to do.

I enjoyed reading the book because I have read a book called Rat Island by Stu Duval, which was also a Nitty Gritty Novel, and really liked it. Come down Golden is a great book and I recommend it. Same with Rat Island.

I found it tricky making the drawing because at first I did not know what problem to do. So I looked through the book and this was the first problem.

Next time I would add a image of a real dog instead of cartoon as well as the grass and clouds. I would also change the person to a real one as well.

October Reflection

Today we are reflecting on our month of learning. Have you done a monthly reflection? We do monthly reflections so we can see how far we have come at the end of the month.

I enjoyed learning this month because we learnt so much this year and I loved learning this month.

I found it tricky to do a background because one of the boxes were already white so I could not make a cool gradient colour. So I left it white.

Next time I would change the colour to make it pop instead of it just being white and not that interesting.

Here is my October Reflection:

Come Down Golden Quiz

This week we have been reading a book named Come Down Golden. It is about a boy named Louis who is in a wheelchair. He finds a monkey and wants to keep it. It is part of a group of books called Nitty Gritty Novels. It is by a author called Diana Noonan. We made a Quiz on the book on google forms. Please have a try!

I enjoyed reading the book because I have read a book called Rat Island by Stu Duval and really liked it. Come down Golden is a great book and I recommend it. Same with Rat Island.

I found it tricky making the quiz because I have not made a quiz since last year. I actually had to search how to make a correct answer! I needed to go to settings and press make this a quiz.

Next time I would add more questions to make the highest points you can get 30 instead of 25. I would also change the colour of the quiz and add a image of the book.

Frida Kahlo Art

At the end of last term we started doing art by are artist called Frida Kahlo. Frida Kahlo was a famous Mexican artist in the 1900s. She used lots of facial hair in her art pieces to make them more realistic. She suffered from a disease called Polio at the age 6. She also almost died from a bus crash at 18.

I enjoyed painting because I love creating things and drawing people. I also liked learning about Frida Kahlo because hearing people's story is really fun.

I found it tricky to draw the eyes because I make them at different levels everytime. So I drew a line using my ruler to draw a line and based the eyes off that.

Next time I would change the pattern on the shirt because I mostly squigilled on the paper and added flowers. Next time I would add triangles, squares and circles.

Here is my art:
