Pier Paintings

We are becoming true artists - look at our landscape paintings of the New Brighton Pier. The children are showing more talent than their teacher!! The children even mixed their own blue and grey colours.



Too good to be true?

You would be surprised at how quietly we can work! Each Friday we decorate our poem of the week. This week the picture was quite tricky to colour. We had to concentrate really well to get it right.

Sound and Sound Waves

What could we do with 2 spoons and a string?
We could test how sound vibrates and travels.
Making sure the string is tight...
Wow, sound really does travel!

Good bye Miss Jang

Week 3 - Wolf week!

We retold the story of the Three Little Pigs.
Here are some of our picture stories.



We are recording some of our stories. Oh no, our recordings were done without  a microphone and they are hard to hear over the rest of the class. We have added our wolf 'fork' paintings instead!

Telling the time

W is for watch... we are learning to tell the time.




More Painting

Last week we painted curvy koru designs. This week we have made colourful geometric designs. First we ruled straight lines. Then we chose 4 colours and mixed our paints to make even more colours.



Here are the paintings of Max, Thomas and Zayne.
















We have also experimented with painting with all sorts of equipment. Here are Lukas's and Demi's paintings.
