Taranaki Hockey

We are lucky enough to be participating in Hockey skills development run by the Taranaki Hockey association at the moment.  Today was our first session, we had a lot of fun and found we had remembered a lot from last year.  We cant't wait until next week when we have our next session.  A video of us training hard will follow later tonight.

Clowns, Clowns, Clowns!

Check out our new page with all of the clowns we created for our Art Exhibition.  The first step we took to draw our clowns was to look at different pictures of clowns using Google Images.  Once we discussed different features of clowns, including colours, hair, dress and make up we had a go at drawing 2 happy and 2 sad clowns.  After we shared our drawing we drew our best happy and sad clown, exploring with colour.  When we were ready to draw our final clown we used pastel, completed a background of blotted paint and then mounted them onto newspaper.  To finish our creations off we used material, wool, foam and coloured paper to create hats, flowers, and ties.  So click on the 'Art Exhibition' on the main menu bar and have a look at our work.  

If anyone wants a digital copy of a photo let me know and I can e-mail a copy.

 
Weekend Brainteaser!

Last weekends brainteaser meant you had to think outside of the square for the answers...

Here are another couple to get you thinking, possibly a wee bit easier???

A farmer has seventeen sheep. All but nine of them die. 
How many sheep does he have left?

How many seconds are in a year?

If A costs $1, B costs $2, C costs $3, D costs $4 etc, 
can you find a word that equals $50?



Here's a brainteaser for all the adults out there... (A Moro bar is on the line for the first correct post!)

A train leaves from New York City (NYC) heading towards Los Angeles (LA) at 100 mph. Three hours later, a train leaves LA heading towards NYC at 200 MPH. Assume there's exactly 2000 miles between LA and NYC. When they meet, which train is closer to New York City?

Don't forget team, a pick of the prize box for the first correct comment for each Brainteaser (to be fair, maximum of one prize per person!), just click on the comment box below, leave your answer, don't forget to leave your name.

Have a great long weekend everyone, see you on Tuesday.
