Pirate Ship Art

This art was made by drawing the ship with crayon, wetting the paper, applying watercolour paints and sprinkling salt on the wet paint.

Whanau Buddies

Twice a week our lovely Whanau buddies come and hear us read.

Discovery Time

The activities for Discovery Time each week are based on the blend of the week. 
This week the blend was gl.  
 So many fun activities!!!

We could make glasses.

We broke up " glaciers"  to find the treasures frozen in them.

We could make music on glockenspiels.

We could find countries on the globes.

There were also glitter glue pens, kites that could glide, popoids and lego to create with.

Autumn Art

Here is our leaf art made by painting fallen leaves white and printing them onto the black paper.
The sponging in the background are the Autumn colours that we observed.

Hats

Kowhai team have made these polar fleece hats and decorated them. Thanks to all the helpers who came along to the 2 afternoons and helped us sew them. They look fabulous!!

Hexagons

We were Artsmart and Mathsmart with hexagons.

We had to colour in the diamonds in the hexagon using a light, medium and dark colour. When we put them all together they look 3D !!!

Shapes

We have been learning about 2D and 3 D shapes. We used isometric graph paper to draw hexagons. We discovered that hexagons can have 6 triangles and 3 diamonds in them.

Arayvia drew 2 different sizes of hexagons.

June drew hexagons like in a beehive.

Olivia found triangles in some of her hexagons.

Domino Maths

We found out that Dominoes have the same dot patterns as dice and they have double numbers on some of them.
Our challenge was to find 2 Dominoes that all the dots added up to 10.

The Cat's Pyjamas

We read a book about all the different pyjamas the cat wore. For art we designed our own and put them on our cats! Don't they look awesome??

Making Right Choices in Room 9

Our whanau buddies in Room 4 helped us to make these photos of how to make right choices each day.
