Today we did I drive my street I was in a group with two of my friends and we built a house. Next week we are going to be doing the inside. Today I used communication when I was cutting some wood I asked Hamish and Olly if they could hold the wood. And when they asked me to do something I would do it for them.I was also having fun and enjoying my self when we were making the house. Believe it or not today I have probably smiled the most in my whole life. We also used allot of wood, today we didn't have much bad luck with the nails, not like last week anyway!

Last term for art we did lino prints,these two photos are my finished Lino print.As you can see the one on the left has a blue backround on the tree,it as a blue backround because we had two prints to do on each colour.On the left one when I done the blue onto the yellow it was out of place so when I put on the black the blue ended up behind the black. I will tell you the basics in lino cutting/printing. First you have to draw out whatever you're doing then get a 6b art pencil and draw it onto the lino bit then mark out whatever you are going to cut out first.After you ink the lino you put a piece of paper over top so you can get your first inked bit.Then wash the lino and mark out where you are cutting next after you cut out your lino ink it again then get the paper and line it up with the last print and then push the paper down.Just do that until all the lino is gone don’t just do the same colour use lots of different colours because that is the whole point of lino cut...

On my two week holiday I did a few new things and some things I have already done before. The one new thing that I most enjoyed was JUMP in Auckland east Tamaki. JUMP is a inside trampoline world with a foam pit and lots more fun,there is also a canteen so you can stop and have little drink or a bite to eat.The best part at JUMP for me was the foam pit because there was a rope swing two midget tramps and a hight tramp to jump off,I also tried a back flip for my first time and done it straight away.At JUMP there was also a dodge ball centre were you could play a game of dodge ball and there was a little trampoline pit as well as the expert spot. I didn't get any photos of me but here are some photos at JUMP!!!. The other new thing I done was being in 5 different pens of calf's and each pen had at least 20 calf's in it.I enjoyed that because it was a completely different and new experience.
