My Art Canvas

         MY ART CANVAS
Soon it  will be children's day in the Redwoods. Our class room 3 have made art canvases to hang on trees all over the Redwoods. First our teacher Mrs.  Dunkley gave us our pieces of fabric and we choose the colour that we wanted to dye our sheet of fabric with. I choose blue because I thought it would look pretty. By the time we had finished dyeing our fabric it looked really cool because the little dots looked like little crosses because the dye soaked into the fabric. Next we practiced printing leaves onto paper because the next day we were going to print them onto our real sheets of fabric. We put paint onto all sorts of leaves and then they turned out really well. When we had fully finished my art canvas turned out like the bottom photo on this post.

Ash Wednesday




When my Ashes got placed on my forehead I felt blessed and I immediately remembered my promise. I felt like I had been forgiven for the sins I had made since last Ash Wednesday. I think the ashes are placed on your forehead in the shape of the cross to make you remember your promise and to keep it for 40 days or as long as you can as they are burnt from your promises and last years palm leaves.

All About Me Bag

The item in the top left corner is the third silver gymnastics medal that I have won so far.
The reason I got the medal was for tumbling. The item in the top right corner is a photo taken by my Uncle. The photo is of my cousin and I. At the time I was 2 and Minka my cousin was 4. I am the one in the purple jumper. In the bottom left corner is a drawing of a green stone from Maori culture. And last in the bottom right corner my favourite book the witches.
