My swim traning

I train for swimming 2 times a week for 45 mins. My favourite stork in swimming is breast stroke because it is different to the other strokes. My hardest stork is butterfly because you have to do confusing things all at one time. my swim teacher is called glen he is nice but he is harder on the boys. I go to mt Eden swim school which is next to the back of mt Eden primary. Normally our warm up is 300 meters which is 12 length's. I love swimming because I love the water.

paint the earth

A couple of weeks ago I went to paint the earth.Paint the earth is a shop where you buy a sculpture and they supply you with paints, paintbrush's and pens. Then you paint your sculpture and leave it at the shop.When you come back a couple of days later your sculpture will be ready.

I have gone to paint the earth 4 times and I really want to go again! Here is a photo of me and the sculptures I have painted.

Screen printing

For our art we are doing screen printing. We had to do two backgrounds one with a solid colour and one with a sky and a ground.This is the procedure.

1. Get a piece of black paper,white paper and paint (you need Black,white,red,

green and blue and yellow)

2. Paint a sky and a ground any colour you want on the black paper.

3. On the white paper you paint one solid colour

4. draw and cut out your mountain and use the rest of the paper for screen printing

(put the cut out mountain in the bin)

5. let the painting dry

6. then put the plain piece of paper that you cut out from over your painting and use a screen to screen print by putting paint over the screen and spreading it around the screen.

7. then take the paper off and let it dry

8.draw and cut out something else out ( a road,plant,water fall or a bridge)like number 4.

9.screen print the other thing under the mountain

10.then you can paint any other details on your picture
