Any News? :)

I would love to hear if you have any news from the last couple of days! Things are a lot quieter here in Mayo than in the big Smoke!! 
Have a read of what I have doing over the last couple of days:

​This is a picture I took on Friday when I was at the beach. This is Enniscrone beach which is in County Sligo. It is about 25 minutes away from my house by car. I was lucky I got to go there as when I came back from the beach the lockdown was announced! The building that looks like a castle is a building people used to use for seaweed baths! This is where the bath is filled with hot seawater and seaweed! It is meant to be really good for your skin!
​

I would love to hear what you have all been up to over the last few days! Draw a picture of your news and write a sentence(s) to tell me your news!

Looking forward to hearing how you all have been keeping. 
Hope you are all safe, happy and well.

How to draw the Easter Bunny!

30/3/2020

3 Comments

 
You did such an amazing job following each step to draw your funky monkey's last week- I was super impressed! This week, let's draw the Easter Bunny! 
Follow each step carefully- can't wait to see these! 
Step 1:  Draw a circle for the Easter bunny's face.  
Picture
Step 2: Draw his face. Use two circles for his eyes, a love heart for his nose, lines for his whiskers and two lines with a hook at the end for his mouth. 
Picture
Step 3: Draw an oval shape for one of his ears. 
Picture
Step 4: For his other ear first draw the line below. It looks a little bit like the number 9! Then draw a line up to meet it like in the pictures below. 
Picture
Picture
Step 5: Draw two semi-circles at the bottom of the page for his feet.
Picture
Step 6: Using round shapes, draw his belly and two arms.
Picture
Step 7: Give your bunny a fluffy tail and decorate him any way you want! I added a bow and stripes to his ears!
Picture
Step 8: Colour your bunny in and send it on :) 

Go Raibh Míle, 
Ms. Hiney

Here are some questions that might help you: What does he/she like to eat? What's his/her favourite game? What colour is the chick? How many eyes does he/she have? Where does the baby chick live? What's the baby chick's favourite colour?
