Greedy Cats

Last week we were reading the big book "Greedy Cat".  To follow on from this we decided to create our own cat faces for art.  Students had to look carefully at size and position as they sketched their cat faces onto paper.  Look at the great results!

My Writing

Noah, Wow! Your basic word recall has grown and with support you are beginning to use your alphabet sounds to spell longer words. You use finger spaces, capital letters and full stops in your writing and you are working on developing your story ideas. Well done!

Cherry Blossom Tree

As part of our Spring celebrations we created a picture of a tree with blossoms.  First students practised sketching leaves and following that we explored the different shapes of trees.  Students then painted the trunk and branches as well as a background.  The final step was to draw and cut out leaves and grass, and then create blossoms using coloured tissue paper.  A lot of learning went on during this piece of art as students used their fine motor skills to add details to their work.

Our trip to Bunnings

Yesterday we went on a class trip to Bunnings.  Nga tamariki had an amazing time putting their building skills to the test and adding their own personal flair to their creations.

Noah, I know you were very excited to go to Bunnings and you were so proud of your truck. You listened carefully to instructions and loved choosing all the different colours to paint your truck.

Ka pai!
