Chinese New Year Celebrations

 We were lucky to be given some great resources by our parents in our community that helped us in our understanding of Chinese New Year celebrations. We learned about how the animals that represent each year of the zodiac. We learned that the emperor held a race where animals crossed the river. The first 12 across the river had years of the zodiac named after them. The most common animals represented in our class are the tiger, the rabbit and the dragon. Ms Corbett really want to be born in the year of the dragon, however, she was born in the year of the dog.

Calendar Art

For our calendar art, we studied what makes a great photo. We looked at different techniques: fill the frame, rule of thirds, lines frame the shot, high angle, low angle and horizon lines. After planning our shot we took photos. Can you see the different photo techniques? Last day to order calendars: Friday 23rd September.
