Mother's Day.

After school Dad and I are making a present for Mum. It will be a paper rose. First I have to draw the rose then colour it in, then cut it out. Next I will put the rose in a box where she can't find it. The rose will be for Mum for Mother's Day.

Painting with brush strokes.

We used primary colours to make our painting.The primary colours are blue, yellow and red. We made a sun in the middle of the page with one primary colour.  Next we used a different colour and made brush strokes. We kept going until the page was fill with colour. We used all the paint on the brush and cleaned them with paper before choosing the next colour.

How to make celery blue on the leaves

We have been learning about how water travels up plants.

Our prediction:  

All the blue will come up the stem and then it will make the leaves go blue.

Observations:

4/5 The water is blue

8/5 The leaves have gone blue and some of the stem has gone blue.

Conclusion:

If the water is coloured, the celery sucks up the coloured water.  The celery goes the same colour as the water. 

Here is an example of procedural writing …
