On Thursday 28th of October The Wearable Arts competition was held in our Bluestone School hall.
The group that I was in had Izzy Docherty, Kera Notton, Siobhan Connolly and Me , Skyla May.
I was the model for our group. It was quite scary and very nerve-breaking but apart from that it was very exciting and exhilarating.
Our lovely but absolutely horrid costume was made from Kera's old dress that she was so kind enough to let us use and stick at least 50-60 ties on.
The wings that were underneath the dress were just an old poly-prop and had at least 17 ties on each side of the arms to symbolise wings hanging down or flopping down.
Our beak was quite large and kept on getting hit by people walking past. "I'm surprised that the beak didn't fall off the mask or the browney-black painted mask or the orangey-yellowey-blackey paint didn't scratch off".
The shoes were made from my old shoes and some paper-mache toes to really look good.We also put pieces of glass on the shoes to really show that birds and any animals are dying of pollution and that was the message we were tying to tell everybody.
Wearable Arts was really out there too,because the lighting was amazing the audience and the judges were great. ''I have loved the experience and can't wait until next year!"

My inquiry is all about Possums.
Grace and I are up to making it look really good. We are nearly finished because we have checked it against our rubric.
We should be able to finish it today. Lots of other people are doing things like Oil spills,Whales
and Penguins. We should all do well. by Gracyn Lindsey.
Room 14 has been getting ready for athletics this term. Which is hard to find a time to have a race. We have had a practice to show us what will happen, we have also been practicing relay and long jump. This is good Sharlene says. We are getting better at it. It has been good though the practice will hopefully pay off. Also last term we ran round the field and versed people on the play ground which helped us too.
This term in Room 14 we have been working on sustainability for our inquiry learning. Sustainability is about keeping things clean and un-polluted and things keep going.For sustainability our class made paper. It was a lot of fun and our groups made a reasonable amount of paper and shared it out fairly around the others in the group.We all got a sustainability book and wrote things in it and watched videos on you tube about sustainability. It was great to watch the videos because they taught us a lot about it.My favourite part about sustainability was the activities my group the "New Moons" did.We got the option to either make a flip chart or create a poster.I choose to do a poster. I made it about the gecko.
Sustainability is a very exciting topic you learn heaps and will always want to learn more. By Abby Room 14
