My Art Exhibition Masterpiece

This term we painted pictures for the 

Elm Park School Art Exhibition 2015.

The focus of our artwork was experimenting with different painting techniques, blending and shading colours together and creating repeating patterns.

To create our 'flower masterpiece' we practised mixing different shades of the same colour to create the wavy lines.  Then we used black vivid to create a repeating pattern.  We had fun putting our pictures together to create a whole flower - this was the best part!

Come along to see our artwork on display in the auditorium, during school hours, between the 

25th and 27th of August 2015.

Reading Term 3

I am learning about root words.

I can find root words in my books.

"It was a little bit hard to learn about this.  I needed to practise on my whiteboard and with Mrs Koroa to find the words.  Sometimes I still find it tricky to find the words.  Root words are the same words but they have different endings like s, ing, ed."

Writing Term 3

Writing Progressions 1P:
I am learning to

• add some detail to my writing
• choose words to make my writing more interesting

We wrote about about a Kapa Haka Performance that we watched in the auditorium during Māori Language Week.  First we wrote 2 sentences and then the next day we added some more writing to make our stories more interesting.

"I like writing about God and the whole wide world.  Sometimes it's hard to spell the words.  I have to sound the first letter out and underline the tricky words.  Sometimes I like writing about my friends and my sister and my family."
