The term is rapidly progressing and I’m amazed by some of the things that are happening in Room Seven at the moment. One of my favourite topics is Visual Art, and I’m pleased this term that we’re really getting a chance to explore. Our topic is Exploring Line and we’ve started by looking at the work of Tracey Tawhiao – a New Zealand artist whose work includes the use of acrylic, newspaper, and pastels. An interesting combination. Some of her work can be seen here ( http://www.toi.co.nz/ArtGallery.aspx?ArtistId=34&ArtistName=Tracey%20Tawhiao )

My apologies to Jacob – I got a wonderful email from him showing a great site about Ancient Greece. Unfortunately I haven’t had a chance until now to update our blog to show the site. It is http://www.mystery-productions.info/hyper/Hypermedia_2003/Miller/AM_hypermedia/Artifact/ 

Finally, in our homework this week there is a maths worksheet related to lines of symmetry. I have also found a couple of useful websites for exploring symmetry.
