We also played a lot of games to practice running, passing the ball and protecting our flags. We also have been doing a lot of watercolour this year in art. On Monday and Tuesday we used a wet on wet technique to make beautiful dandelion pictures that showed movement and applied the “rule of thirds”. We learned that it is important to use this rule to make our art more interesting for
