Rene Magritte

Rene magritte was a surrealist artist he tried to make normal things with a twist and made people think “what is this supposed to be”

He made art for record covers one of his paintings is worth at least 26 million! He became very known for his art that's witty and different 

Surrealism is a  cultural movement that began in 1917 and is mainly known for its visual artworks unrealistic, different scenes most surrealist artists create strange unreal things. And make unrealistic dreams into a reality 

Rene was born on 21 November 1898  in Lessines belgium. His first painting was made in 1926 by the lost jockey and his last painting was in 1967 , the year of his death. He died of pancreatic cancer on 15 August 1967. 

One of my favorite paintings by him is “the lovers” it makes me think a lot by looking at it

solar system

The Solar

system

Each year the earth orbits around the sun, the sun is also a massive star that looks like a planet but it isn’t a planet 

The sun shines on the moon and that's what we can see if it isn’t shining on the moon it means it's not going to be sunny. 

The moon goes around the earth every 28 days, so there is a new moon every 28 days

You can see the moon in many shapes like the full moon were we see the whole moon 

Here are some proven facts 

To act as a thermal control to protect the astronauts most of the exterior of the lunar module was covered in protective multi-layer insulation foil 

The lunar module didn’t have to worry about being aerodynamic operated in the near vacuum of space present on the moon. They didn’t need to consider the force of gravity. Instead it was made boxy and chunky looking 

The interior of the lunar module was designed to be operated by two astronauts standing up. They had to remove the sets to make the craft lighter 

The lunar module had four splayed-out- shock- absorbing legs ending in bowl-shaped pads.

One of the most important features on top of the lunar module was the rendezvous radar antenna. The radar provided the gidune system to attach the lunar module back to the CSM module

Amazing race

 Amazing race -Storm 

The Amazing race took place at Greymouth highschool on Wednesday the 16th of October some of the year 12s invited our room 2 and some of room 4 to come over and play the amazing race with them there were 10 groups of 4 and our groups were named after countries around the world our team was brazil our team leader was Bethany and the other people in our group was John,Charlotte and Jai t. Our school was very lucky to go to high school and play the amazing race the year 12’s did a great job of running it by themselves. My favorite games were Europe's soccer game all you had to do was kick a ball at something from Europe and you got a point our group won that game. Also, I really enjoyed the Japanise game when you had to pick a lollie up with chopsticks and run around the obstacle course, The Haka game was a really challenging game but our group also won that one. The Africa game when you had a bowel on you’re head with some fruit in it was also a very tough game but our group finished it there were some other games that were also very fun. Out of all of them, Japans game was the funniest by far. The team leaders were really friendly and nice to all of us and they did a really good job running it.

Also here’s our chant Brazil is the best put us to the test Brazil on 3 1 2 3 BRAZIL!!!

Duffy Books

These are my books I got this term they are 

D-Day by Bryan Perrett 

Lost in the antarctic By Tod Olson 

I really like these books because they are about the war and the antarctic those are some topics i really like reading about. Something that is also cool is that D-Day came with a Campass key chain 

We are lucky to have Duffy books in our school, We are lucky that we get to chose from a  variety of books so we can get what we like we get books each term and sometimes a special guest comes to talk to our school about what they do and they give us our books. Duffy books in homes was founded in 1994 and to this day they are still giving books to children to this day. 

Our school is proud to be a Duffy school I love the idea of giving books to children in schools so they can read at home.
