Google Draw -

WALT: Use google draw tools

Information: We drew pictures from Fantastic Mr Fox










Reflection: I like the colours I used and I liked choosing all the different shapes.
Next time  I want to have more time to make it look more like a digger and add some animals to the drawing too.

Question: Do you think I could have added anything else to make it look like a digger?

Kaitiaki

WALT- be Kaitiaki of Papatuanuku.

In our school we have a competition to see which class has the most litter-less lunches. In our class we have been working really hard to make sure that we don't have any single use plastic in our lunch boxes.
Taonga Class won and we were rewarded with a yummy fruit basket from Coopers Beach 4 Square!

Reflection- 

2 stars- We liked that most of the class have litter-less lunches and that we have all been working hard to have no plastic in our lunches. 
1 wish- We want our whole class to have plastic free lunch boxes all the time.

Question-
How are you Kaitiaki at your school?

Skeletons

WALT- create a quality blog post. 

We made Skeletons in class to learn about our Hauora and Taha Tinana. We had to colour in our skeletons and then cut them out and laminate them. 

Reflection-

2 stars - I liked that I got to learn about different bones and that we got to colour them in. 

1 wish- Next time I want to add labels to my skeleton so I remember the names of them. 

Do you know the name of the biggest and strongest bone in the human body?

Extreme WOW words.

WALT- come up with describing words that we can use in our writing to make it stand out, more interesting and more exciting to our audience.


This is what our class discovered when we talked about what wow words we know. We think these are some awesome words to use in our writing.

Reflection-

2 stars- It was fantastic to come up with our wow words because we got to learn new words and we got to find out what the best words are that we can use.

1 wish- Next time we want to be able to add even more and bigger wow words to our list. We also want to add more interesting words.

Have you ever come up with any wow words in your class?
Which wow word do you like the most?
What is your biggest or best wow word?

Maui and the Sun art

2 stars- We really liked painting our pictures because it was fun to create a drawing. We liked putting dye on because it made it colourful and stand out.
1 wish- Next time we want to add more details to our pictures so they look even better.

Some questions for you-

What art would you do?

Matariki Star Bags

WALT- understand Matariki and what the cluster of stars represent
WALT- write a procedural text

How to make Matariki Star Bags-

Equipment you will need-

1. Glitter
2. 1 reusable zip lock bag
3. Hair Gel
4. Water
5. Stars- stickers and glitter
6. Sellotape
7. A3 Black Paper (folded in half)
8. Glue
9. Coloured paper
10. Sharpie pen- Silver and Gold
11. Scissors
12. Colouring pencils

What you need to do:

1. Get all your equipment ready.
2. Fold A3 black paper in half and cut a square in the middle (you need an adult to help with this).
3. Get your ziplock bag and add the glitter/stars that you want.
4. Add 3 teaspoons of hair gel and add a little bit of water. Make sure you get as much air out as you can when closing the bag. 
5. Make sure the bag is zipped up completely.
6. Mix up the hair gel, water and glitter inside the bag. 
7. Put 7 star stickers onto the black paper- in order of how the Matariki stars look. 
8. Sellotape the bag into the middle square that has been cut out- over the top of the star stickers. 
9. Glue the sides of the black paper shut. 
10. Write your name on your art- in gold or silver and add your title.
11. Cut out some shapes on coloured paper, that suit the sky and decorate the border. 
12. Hang them up for everyone to see. 

Reflection-
It was really cool because we got to make lots of shapes and use glitter and hair gel and stickers to create our art. We liked adding the glitter and hair gel in because it is not something we usually use in art. It was fun to put the equipment into the reusable bag because we got to choose our own colours.   

Next time it would be better if we had more time to decorate so that we could make it look better and stand out more and it would be cool if we could use more colours.

Question- Have you made any Matariki Art and what colours have you used?

Beautiful Oops Art Work

WALT- create art out of something we are given and make it beautiful.

In our class we have been learning to create art from mistakes. We had to turn a scribble or a blob of colour into something beautiful.

This is some of the art that we have created, we hope you like it.

Reflection-
We were all able to turn our 'mistake' into something beautiful and it was fun to be really creative with our art. Next time we could add words to our art that could make it better and more colours to make it stand out.
