Room Six Art


We have been working hard on our visual art techniques in Room Six.  We used crayon and dye to illustrate the firghost poem.  Then we went out and looked at all the spring blossoms and daffodils.  We used staw blowing to create our branches and then we mixed paints to make our blossoms.  They look fantastic and Room Six is looking colourful and ready for summer.

Read around New Zealand

 

Our read around New Zealand challenge is off to a great start.  Callum and Sam are in Auckland and several of the children are hot on their heels between Ne Pymouth and Auckland.  Mrs C would love to see some of us pass Cape Reinga over the holidays.  Remember to go and visit the library and get your favourite books to read over the two week break.

Here we are getting ready for the artsplash 2012 performance.  Mrs C had to leave before the other children were ready but just wait until you see the video.  The children were fantastic.  What amazing teachers, families and other staff members we have at school, putting this together from the dances to the music, costumes and makeup.  You all know who you are and you are all fantastic!
