Showcase Term 2 - Soccer Skills

This term we had fun with two coaches who taught 

us soccer skills.

It was a little bit tricky learning to control the ball 

as we played against each other in the big soccer arena.

We loved playing Shark Attack because we had to protect our ball.

We Are Learning To Draw A Self-Portrait

Self Portraits

This term Room 9/27 have been learning to sketch a picture of our face.

We practised in our sketch books first and it was a very long process.

First we had to get the shape and size of our head right.  Then we had to work on our features like our eyes, nose, ears and mouth and other details that made us who we are.  Then we added in our hair and neck and shoulders.  It was hard work but we are very proud of our finished pictures which we coloured in using pastels.
