Anemone is not the Enemy – Kick Start

Today the task was Anemone is not the Enemy. I had to watch to a story called ‘Anemone Is Not The Enemy’, it is about making friends and self acceptance. I watched it with my brothers who are 6 and 4 years old. My brother’s wanted to help me with creating our own rock pool. We used mums new plastic box, spare pebble gravel from our fish tank, shells and rocks we collected from the beach last week and my youngest brothers sea animals. This is what we created.

 

We had a squid, octopus see all stingray seal and my little brother wanted a seal on the rocks as he was protecting the rock pool.

Octopus Fun Fact – Everyone thinks an octopus Has It arms but it really has six arms and two legs.

Squid Fun Facts – Squids have the largest eyes in the animal kingdom.

Seal Fun Fact: Seals sleep on land and in the water.

Stingray Fun Fact- A stingray contains venom in its tail but its not the venom itself that can cause death but the  puncture wound that the barb causes,  this will kill a human if the barb goes into chest or neck.  Steve Irwin was killed by a stingrays barb that not only punctured his lung but went into his heart causing him to bleed to death, He was unaware that it had got his heart until it was to late,  when this happened he was trying to film stingrays in their natural  environment to bring awareness to the fact the a lot of stingray species are under  threat of extinction.

 

 

Notan Art – Step it up

Here is my Notan Step it activity.  The step up was to create a Notan art with a theme, i chose a butterfly as it is the first thing I saw when I looked out the window this afternoon.  I what looks like shards of glass, circles and diamonds,  along with some other lines in shapes that I have created.   I really enjoyed this task  and love how my butterfly came out,  I hope you like it too.

 

Notan Art – Kick Start

Today I learnt what Notan Art is and got to create my own Notan Art.  Notan art is a Japanese art form that means light and dark harmony/balance.    It is created by forming a shape in black outside a black box and mirroring it onto the black box in white.  I found it really fun to do and I plan to make some more later but this is what i created for my Kick start task.
