Retelling Stories!

 

Aboriginal Clapping Sticks

 We have been learning about the Aboriginal culture and decided to create some Aboriginal clapping sticks as these are a traditional instrument that the aboriginal people make and use to create amazing music. We used paint stirrers and painted them. Once they were dry we used paint pens to create dot art and symbols on the sticks. 

Here is a video of us using our clapping sticks!

Film Festival Movie

 

We created this stop motion movie for our film festival. We loved learning how to create stop motion movies and also had to do lots of problem solving of how we were going to create a movie all about what Kiwi would see or do in Australia. 

We hope you enjoy it!

Dragon Eyes!

We have read the big book Dragons! Dragons! Dragons! this week and we decided to create some art to go with it.

We have created Dragon eyes using vivid, crayon, dye and glitter.

These were lots of fun to make and we love how our dragon eyes turned out. 

Check them out in person if you are in our class.

Playground!!

 We love spending time on the senior playground to build our confidence, team work, movement and problem solving skills. There is lots of new, exciting and tricky activities for us that help us to overcome our fears and we feel very BRAVE! 

These photos were taken when we were find shapes in our playground. We found lots of shapes like circles, squares, rectangles, ovals, and triangles.

Elections!

 We have been learning about the Elections. This was interesting because we all recognised the Prime Minister from the TV over lock-down. We got into parties (groups) and had to say why people should vite for us. This was funny because we all have funny names for our parties. We also made Vote For Me posters and these were based on what a good class leader would be/do. Here are a few of our posters.

Activity Five - Rainbow!

Activity Four 4 - Haumiatiketike!

Activity Three - Te Reo Maori Kupu!

Activity Two - Teddies In The Bed!

Tyson's Home Mahi

Tyson has been building huts and a swing. We have been making coloured rainbow cookies and we have also been riding the trolley that his uncle built before lockdown. Tyson has also had fun using the effects app to do cool selfies!

Keep doing all your awesome home learning and keep sharing it with me, I love seeing what you get up to with your whanau!
