Autumn Art

We have talked about the vibrant Autumn colours and used a sponge background with blended crayon for the leaves.



Honey, Beth and Bruno are sharing with the class what they liked about their artwork.


Isla created a swirling background effect with the sponges and blended the crayon colours for the leaves.

Ngahere created a different sponge background leaving white patches which looked like autumn leaves on the background as well.

Junior syndicate "Move It" day



Here we are very excited about the prospect of floating our homemade boats! We have been very busy  working from a design brief.


Mrs.Hall has been teaching us about floating and sinking. We had to predict whether an object would sink or float. Then we did the experiment and found out! 



What an amazing afternoon we had with all the Junior syndicate showing their "Move It" learning. Room 1 children designed and made marble tracks. We designed and made boats and Room 4 children designed and made kites. We floated our boats in the school pool .What fun!
