**__thailand__**
On our first day in Thailand we had a flight to Changmai.When we arrived we decided to go to a temple called Doi Intaon.I thought it was really boring because there wasn't much to see and it's burning hot in Thailand.On our second day we went to such a cool tree adventures thing which was called Flight of the Gibbon. It is only flighing foxes but is really fun and the flighing foxes are gigantic, there is one that it from one mountain to another. On our third day we had a three day trip tour. First we went elephant riding and bamboo rafting. Then we went to another temple before we went to sleep in our resort. On our second day in the three day trip we went to the border between Thailand, Burma and Lous. Then we went to a boat trip to Lous. When we got there a king cobra went into a shop where my mum bought my brother a shirt so we got to see somone kill it. Then we looked at snake and scorpian whisky!!! Then we changed resorts so we slept at Changrai that night. On our last day in Changmai we went to a market then we flew to Phuket.

LEGEND FROM ISRAEL

__Cultral__ sharing day
Last week we had our cultural sharing day. I talked about my chanuckia. Along time ago the Romans destroyed the palace in Israel so they fought,the Israelis won but the palace was still wrecked. The Israeli's only one small pot of oil. They thought it would only last a day but it actually lasted eight days.

Dance
This term we are doing dance. We are looking at going in and out of a personal space, making different shapes,symmetric and twisting and we are also looking at different types of music.We are learning to have different ways to move when we are dancing.

__**Water Paintings**__ Our first water painting we did was wet on wet. This is when you put water on your piece of paper and then add a color blend by using lots of water with your paint too. We were making an ocean background using green, blue, purple and much more.it was really fun and we learned a new technique to paint.

We made our wet on wet paintings for our endangered species paintings that we are going to paint in a couple of weeks.

Our second water painting was Wet and Dry. This is when you don't put water on your paper but you still paint with water on your paint. We were just free painting with most of the colours we had. It was really fun and we learned a new technique to paint.

Our third and last painting was Dry Brush. This is when you paint with a dry piece of paper, a dry brush but lots of paint. Again we were free painting but it was still very educational.It was very fun and we learned a new way how to water paint
