Art Gallery

Another trip and this time we went to the Art Gallery.  There we got to look at different art pieces related to our inquiry on water.  It was amazing to see how artists used the theme of water into their pieces.  We got a chance to be our own artists and created pieces .

 

Celebrating Success

We congratulate Tim for receiving this award for service to the community.  He has contributed to the life of the school and ensures his responsibilities are always completed. 

Visit to the Otago Museum

We were lucky to make a visit to the Otago Museum this term.  With our inquiry on water, we took our findings and got an opportunity to experience some new learning around weather.  Finding out about high and low pressures, humidity,water cycle,cloud formations were just some of things we got to learn about.

Fantastic Flowers

The class was brought to life with beautiful flowers  Mrs Tofia had brought to school.  We looked carefully at these flowers and sketched their delicate petals.  We thought we would bring our sketches to life using paint and it was a good chance to practice our painting skills too.  Our pictures were perfect.  Come into our class and you will be hit with the colours our beautiful flower displays.

Self portraits

Self Portraits

One of our focuses in art , has been creating a self portrait.  We have been using a range of media to practice our skills.  From pencil sketches, painting,dye and crayon,we have used them all.

Starting 2014.  A New Year

Its a new year and we have started  it with a range of tasks and activities that cover our walls.  Getting to know each other has been an important lesson that we have been learning.  It is always exciting to learn new things about each other and share what we are good at.
