Respect

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 14:26:03 +1300

Our goal was to create an artwork that showed our thinking about a part of the school Vision. We chose ‘RESPECT’
It turned out to be a Technology unit and a Art unit.
First we has to complete a design brief each. That helped us decide what and how we were going to create.
Once we had the ideas we had to paint it.

Here is our finished work! You can even turn it around to change the pictures and read the words

We are proud of it.

Come and see it.
It is awesome!

Sharing our ideas....

Appleby Fair

Wed, 10 Sep 2008 15:50:51 +1200

At the Country Fair I got candy floss but I lost my candy floss. I got three lucky jars. My Mum got me a teddy lion. I won a spot prize it is a toy Ferrari. I won a soccer ball on the chocolate wheel raffle. At the end everything at the toy shop was free. I felt really happy when I won a spot prize. My best one was the chocolate wheel raffle.

At the Country Fair I saw the pigs. The last pig didn’t get in the trailer so the man needed to wrestle the pig and it frightened me! I got a lucky jar and in the lucky jar was a Crunchy Bar and it was very yum!. I said, “I love those bars the best!” and I said,
“The fair was cool because I didn’t go on the army test.”
I felt happy at the fair. It was the best fair!

The Opening Ceremony!

Thu, 21 Aug 2008 11:10:14 +1200

We have been learning about how to create a dance.
Using Curved Pathways, Fast and Slow, different levels and
Interesting Body Shapes.

We had to think about what we wanted the dance to tell?????
We found out that: the five rings remind us that countries from around the whole world participate in the Olympics
We found out that: at least one of the colours from the rings is part of every country flag.
We found out that: the Olympic flame travelled around the world like a relay.
We found out about: heaps of the sports that were part of the Olympics.
You can watch our dance and see how we used what we have been finding out about!

The Great Wall of Moutere

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 14:49:35 +1200

We have found out that there is a HUGE old wall in China. It is so big that you can walk on the top of it! If we were on the moon we would still be able to see the wall!
Our wall is not that big
but it was fun to build.

Can you see what Zoe has drawn using Kidpix?

Here are our clocks!
Last term we were learning about time and Linda helped us make these cool clocks.

“I love our clock because it really works and it is colourful.” Marshall

We worked hard!

“I enjoyed making our clock, thanks Linda!” Summer

“The clocks are the best thing I have done!” Zoe

How Maui Saved the Kumara

Wed, 25 Jun 2008 15:19:45 +1200

Here it is!
We are really pleased with how this turned out.
We had fun with role play, writing , drawing and finally making a digital story from our book.

Planning our Legend

Wed, 18 Jun 2008 15:11:24 +1200

We have been writing our own legend about the Appleby area.
Our legend has Maui, kumara and the river as important parts.
We used what we have found out about Appleby when the maori people first lived here to give us ideas.
We used drama to get the idea sorted out. Now all we have to do
is illustrate the story and then we will share it!

Can you guess what happens in the story....?

Tukutuku

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 11:23:43 +1200

We have been working hard to
make these
Tukutuku patterns. They tell stories about all sorts of things...
Flounder Fish
Steps to Heaven
Albatross Tears
Stars
Taniwha Teeth

We have found out that the designs are used inside the meeting house to decorate the walls and to share the stories of the past.
