Ice Skating

On Thursday at 1:00 p.m I went Ice Skating in our school hall. The set-up was quite cool. I slipped over 7 times and the 3rd time I slipped over was when Ella high fived me and she gripped onto my hand and that made me slip backwards. Every few minutes the bubbles would come on and I kept trying to pop the bubbles with Ella. It was funny because Ella was dancing to the music and she fell over on her butt! The side of the ice skating rink was like a blow up castle and the ice was not real ice. The lady told us the rules and what you needed to do when you fell over. The ice was made out of plastic and there were big thick slabs of it. I did all right but it took me a while to get into the middle but I got the hang of it pretty quickly. We had to wear helmets, gloves and ice skating shoes that had steel type of bottoms.

About My Art Work

This term for art we did string art. First I picked my design which was a duck and put it on a doc. Then we printed it out and stuck it on a piece wood. I drew crosses on the corners of the duck and nailed nails on the crosses on the duck. After that I picked a coloured wool that was yellow and and started twisting the wool from one nail to the other. It was hard because sometimes the wool keeped undoing and you had to keep doing two loops around the nails.

Once I did the wool I started to rip the paper off of the wood. But it was hard because it was so tight that when I keeped ripping it off little bits of paper was still under the nails. I came up with the duck because I was looking at animal string art and I found the duck. Why I picked the duck was because I wanted something with yellow in it and something that was an animal so I found the duck and it was yellow. I was going to do a orange beak but there was no orange. I found a brown and started the beak but it keeping coming undone because there was too much wool on the nails that the brown wool was going to go on.
