ART: Painting - watercolours

I was working on my watercolour skills and painted 2 pictures.  For inspiration I looked at a really good artist called Susan Faye.  Here is a link   to her  http://www.etsy.com/shop/susanfaye.  She also has a fan page of facebook http://www.facebook.com/#!/SusanFayeArt  and you can see more of her work here

We also did a project art on "My favourite Things".  Its a multimedia collage with a self portrait in the middle and surrounded by either words or drawings/paintings.  We did the words "My Favourite THings" out of magazine letters all cut up and mixed about.  It was fun and I am just busy finishing off some of it.

Will post later.

Mary Queen of Scots

I am busy reading Mary Queen of Scots, My Royal Story, A Scottish Queens Diary, France 1553 by Kathryn Lasky for history.

It is written in diary format. It is a really, really interesting book.

Today I used a paragraph for my English dictation and spelling exercise.

Today's good words that came up in the paragraph were:

Favourite

Usually

Prepare

Palace

Valley

Another

Château

I only got one word in the whole dictation wrong, which is pretty good.
