Art Exhibition 2017

For the 2017 Elm Park School Art Exhibition we created our own butterflies. Here is my painted butterfly and also my Kidpix butterfly.

"I am proud of my butterfly because I shaded it from light to dark. I found it tricky to do make it on Kidpix because the outline kept on turning orange."

Celebrating Matariki in Room 8/26

Matariki is the Maori New Year, it is an important Maori celebration. The seven stars that make up Matariki are Matariki, Tupu-a-nuku, Waiti, Waita, Waipuna-a-rangi and Ururangi. There are lots of different ways to celebrate Matariki such as through music, songs, food and family.       

In Room 8/26 we celebrated Matariki by having a feast, making star cookies, reflecting on our goals for the term, learning a waiata (song) and going to the Auckland Museum to learn more about Matariki.

We are learning how to catch and pass small balls.

For PE we have been learning how to catch and pass small balls. 

To pass the ball we need to have our hands up in the shape of a W and push the ball out from our chest. To catch the ball we need to have our hands up ready.

We have been showing our school value of Resilience by not giving up.

I am learning how to use scissors correctly

Here is my fantastic owl art!  First, we painted my background with a sponge and made a pattern with a stick. Then, we looked at pictures of owls. Miss Moston showed us how to draw the different parts of the owl.  Then, we cut them out and glued them on.

Ladybug Collage

Here we sketched ladybugs onto black paper. Then we cut out the ladybugs and leaves. We added spots and strips to add detail to our ladybugs and leaves. It was very time consuming when it came to gluing all the pieces together, but we done it!

Sage "I liked my wings because it was the only thing that was red and I like the colour red. I was hard to draw all the black parts of the body. I would change the ladybug to the colour blue."

Reading Out Loud!

 I got to read a book to my class and I really enjoyed it and so did my classmates.

Bubble Wands

This week Room 5 made bubble wands.  They wanted to see if different shaped wands made different shaped bubbles.

We discovered that no matter what shape the bubble wands were, the bubble will always come out in the shape of a sphere.

Bubbles

For inquiry we are learning all about Bubbles.

We are learning what bubbles are made out of and describing what they look like too!

Here we were making bubbles to help us describe bubbles by using our five senses.

ICT Tagul - Word Cloud

The cat sniffed in bins and sniffed in tins.

At Elm Park School we have buddy classes, where a junior class is buddied up with a senior class. Room 5’s buddy class is Room 24 with Miss Hughes.

Room 5 was fortunate to have their buddy class help them do a word cloud on the laptop called Tagul.

With the help of our buddy class we were able to come up with our own word cloud that was related to the Big book Ratty Tatty Cat.

Check out what I wrote and designed.
