Football Art

Recently Room 9 have been working on art. We constructed a cardboard figure:

And then put it into a football pose and drew around it onto a piece of black paper three times in in different poses each time. Once we had finished we drew a certain shape over and over on the same sheet of paper. Then we painted the shapes to make fabulous art.

Puke Ariki: Bringing it home

Bringing It Home is an exhibition about the ANZACs and World War 1. We did lots of activities including  dressing up as people in the war, a scavenger hunt for objects from the war and looking at pictures of Taranaki 100 years ago.

Week 8 homework

Some children need to finish their Information Report asap!

The weekly homework is as per usual, with a fun geometry puzzle called a Tangram.

You need a Tangram template and pattern sheet.

You could make up some of your own or find more patterns on the Internet.

Remember to collect some journals to read, from the purple box, if you like.

Mt Taranaki Reports

Some excellent Information Reports have been presented by clever Room 9 students.

It is pleasing to see organised ideas, technical language, and precise visuals.  

Each child will self assess their work using a checklist.
