EastWood Hills Recount

EastWood Hills

Mountains of leaves crunched under foot as we trudged along the muddy path, sucking at our boots. Ducks called to one another, flying high above our heads. Dew dropped from leaves, sprinkling along the mossy forest floor. Puddles sloshed as we walked through them, crossing a small bridge over a small swamp. Fumes of stinking smells floated up to greet us as we crossed. Tiny fantails chattered like little old ladies as they swooped around our footprints, yanking tiny bugs from the ground. 

Tramping to the clearing exhausted us and we stopped to eat lunch on top of some boulders. 

Suddenly a million baas filled the clearing as a large flock of sheep came from around the corner. Tucking up our legs they tried to steal our sandwiches. 
Biting into our lunches was the best feeling ever as the honey glazed ham, cheese, and lettuce warmed our mouths. 

Finally, after arriving in the circle of pines, a strange aroma wafted towards us, making us wonder what it was, and if it was safe. It turned out to be thousands of mushrooms. We cautiously stepped into the circle and sniffed. Boy, were those mushrooms strong smelling! We followed a stone wall to the exit and piled into the car, and finished the lunch we didn’t eat.

Henri Matisse

We were learning about Henri Matisse. He was eighty four when he died on the third of November 1957 from a heart attack. He made 1008 pieces of artwork with paint. We had to use primary colours plus white or black to make the colours we wanted. We had to blend in white to show light direction. Then we used black pastel to add details. Henri Matisse was French and was greatly adored for his art which he called "Still Life". He was good friends with Pablo Picasso and ran a small art school named Academie Matisse in Paris between 1908 and 1911. Some of his paintings were sold for over twenty million dollars. He was born in 1869, December thirty first.
Down below is my Henri Matisse painting that I created.


Jesus Ascending Into Heaven

Today we were learning about how Jesus ascended into heaven. I found it fun to make jesus on the cloud. I found it hard to find the disciples. Next time I would change the background.
