Self Portraits

For the school art exhibition we created self-portraits.  We talked about the different parts of the face and what shapes they were.  Students step-by-step drew the different facial features.

Next we used the photocopier to enlarge the pictures.  Students then used black vivid to outline their work before using coloured dyes and cotton buds to colour in their masterpieces.

To make our self-portraits look a little bit different students then created a butterfly using overhead transparencies and different coloured vivid markers.

Making sets to 10

WALT make sets to 10

In maths we have been learning about making sets of numbers.  In this activity students had to build towers that matched the number in the box.  Jasmine was very quick to finish this activity and it is obvious she is very confident with numbers.  In class we will be extending her knowledge and getting her to practice reading and writing 2 digit numbers.

Matariki 2019

What a way to start the day!  This morning we celebrated Matariki by having breakfast together.  Nga Tamariki got to enjoy some cereal and toast and a warm milo.  Afterwards we all went outside and did Jump Jam together.

Matariki is a star constellation which is visible in the dawn skies during late June and early July.  It's appearance was traditionally used by Maori to mark the coming of the new year.  It is a time of coming together and what better way to do that is by sharing kai together?

Happy Matariki!
