COLOURING UP WESTPAC!

 Team Tahi and Waru were fortunate enough to be asked to colour up Westpac. We coloured in our pictures very very carefully and these were on display at Westpac during May.  Michelle, who organised all of this, came into school and every child got a packet of Westpac jaffas and two from each class received a prize.  I hope we get to do it again next year!

Michelle is awesome at organising Team Tahi and Waru to colour up the branch in Hastings!

And then she brings in prizes!   Yippee!

LEST WE FORGET

On Friday we made personalised thumb print poppies in recognition of ANZAC day.  This is our "field of remembrance".

Koru Day

Today we enjoyed creating pastel koru designs.  We talked about hot and cold colours and which colours work well together.  Here are some of us arranging our koru like a puzzle on the floor and the finished design on the wall :)

Our Door to Room 1

Next time you are in Room's 1's cloakbay, you will have to check out the art work we created together today (Mrs G got the idea off Pinterest!)...
We used hands to collectively create a super poster for our door.  We were really proud of our efforts!

Art with Rei

The Junior Team had Rei Hendry for Art today.  We were taught how to use our magic finger to draw, before we used our crayon.  We were then introduced to mixing paint and created some fabulous buildings.  Check out our art!

Buzzy Bees

We are becoming bee experts in Room 1... we can not wait for our trip to the Arataki Honey Farm in Week 7!!!
Today for art we decided to be like the children in the Magic School Bus story about bees... 

Painting Today

Today Room 1 had our second attempt at painting using the palette paints.  We are getting very good at mixing the paint and using our paintbrushes.  Next week we will be doing our own creations :-)

 

Painting - Using the Palette Paints

On Friday we enjoyed using the palette paints for the first time.  We learnt how to use water to get the colour brighter.  We also learnt how to hold and use our paintbrush.
Next week we will be making patterns.  We can't wait!
