Last week I had tech, I was in art. We started the week with finger painting, I painted a landscape that my teacher printed of the internet. It was a lot more detailed than I expected, but it turned out really good. Then we learnt how to do a 10 minute landscape, using chalk pastels. On the 2nd last day we did a Romero Britto styled piece of art work, I did my grandparents house. We had to use lots of bright colors and patterns and we weren’t allowed to have any white. In my free time I was allowed to do some line drawing. You do this my tracing or drawing an object make sure you do it in pencil though. Then you want to get a ruler and a vivid and start drawing lines down the page in one direction. Then do the same on the object but going the opposite way. This is a really fun task for when your bored and I would recommend trying it. Overall I had a super fun week and can’t wait to go back!

A learning conference is where your parents and you go to meet your teacher to find out how well you are going with your learning. I like learning conferences because they let me know what I can do next with my learning and what I need to keep up with. I feel like my learning conference went really well because I am at where I’m supposed to be and I know where I can improve. I feel like my learning is going really well and I am super happy with my reading level. One of the things I would like to keep practicing is my times tables so I can hit 100 in my hundreds club and just keep improving in my general maths. In the end me and my parents were both very happy with the outcome. I really like learning conferences because I get to find out where I’m at with my learning.

This weekend I got to watch a cesarean on a cow. We were checking our cows to see if the had calved, because here in New Zealand it is the time were cows calf. We ended up having to call a vet to come help do a c-section. A c-section is where you have to cut open the cow and pull the calf out, (the cow cant feel it.)
After that was done we had to go and visit another cow that couldn’t stand up. Turns out the reason she couldn’t stand was because, she had 150 Litres of fluid and one massive calf inside her. After this we ended up getting home at 11:00pm. The next day we had to get all the fluid out and the do another c-section, but on this cow. Now both cows are slowly recovering and getting back to normal health.
