We made 3D Art based on the study of Hundertwasser. Using recycled materials, paint, cardboard and vivids, we created our own “Hundertwasser” houses. I made mine with Jack.
I showed resilience because I kept persisting when making the fiddly little fences around the houses. My favourite part of my creation is the little spiky roof I made for a circular building.
One day there was a big old shack with windows with no glass and a musty old roof that didn’t do much apart from make the water (when it rained) more intense at some points. It (barely) stood in a clearing somewhere on the border of Russia and China. There was a huge dead tree that grew near the shack and one day that big old tree fell on the shack. But what happened then was that when the tree fell on the shack it just rebounded and fell on the other side of the shack. A person named Greg was watching when the incident happened and he was a billionaire, so when he saw this he decided he would have it restored and have an indestructible house. So he got his building crew and tried to restore it, but the shack would just repel nails and concrete. So Greg decided he would try to get the materials the shack was made out of, but a huge ghost came out and scared them away. Greg came back and tried to negotiate with the ghost but it ate him, which doesn’t really work but I don’t actually care. Then he ate Greg’s building crew. The end.
For CRT these past few weeks we have been making bridges out of wooden skewers, Popsicle sticks, rubber bands, hot glue and masking tape. We had to make the strongest bridge out of any of these materials. My group made one out of Popsicle sticks, masking tape and hot glue. To make it, first we drew a design that would be the strongest. Then we made the sides, top and bottom out of Popsicle sticks and glue. Finally, we put it all together with masking tape.
Introduction
Holi is an ancient Hindu festival celebrating the arrival of spring. Holi is the festival of colour, celebrated in India and Nepal. It usually falls between Late March and early April.
Traditions
People throw coloured powder and spray water at their friends and family in a vibrant spectacle. The powder colours are only blue, green, red and yellow.

People celebrating Holi eat gujiya (fried dumpling) with sweet sugar syrup, dahivada (fried lentil dumpling) and papori (crispy dough wafers).
How Holi Is Relevant Today
Holi is a time to mend broken relationships, is a symbol of multiculturalism and inclusivity, is a message of love and harmony and a time for forgiveness.
Conclusion
Overall, Holi is an important and joyous spring festival celebrated by anyone that brings people together and celebrates the triumph of good over evil.
For the past few weeks we have been making squares to contribute to a big Siapo (Samoan tapa cloth). To make it, we drew draft Samoan patterns. Then we drew the best design on brown paper and outlined it in vivid. Finally, we scrunched it up and unfolded it, making it look natural. Have you ever seen a Siapo before?
