Autumn Tree Art

We observed and sketched Autumn trees before making our bigger versions. On a large piece of paper we drew our trees and leaves with chalk. Next we  coloured our trees with crayon.

For the background, we used a variety of materials for effect. Some of us used the classroom carpet, some used the deck and some used fabrics for texture. Aren't they amazing?

Showtime in Room 18

Thank you to the girls in Room 18 who performed for us this week.

Jessica and Erin, we enjoyed your entertaining Harry Potter Puppet Show.

Pop-star Ruby, we think you are an amazing dancer.

Carolyn, Brodie and Sonia, you were spectacular when you performed The Duck Song.

Harry Potter Ninety Nine Seconds performed by Erin, Jessica and Danya...phenomenal!

Principal's Award to Jessica

Jessica received the Principal's Award for her excellent effort with learning and for her outstanding successes, especially in Literacy...Congratulations Jessica! We love listening to the wonderful stories you write.

Jessica's Autumn Poem

Autumn

Flaky leaves beyond my view, orange ones, and yellow too

Deciduous trees shedding leaves all Autumn long

Children playing to a brightful bird chirping it’s song

Air with a touch of Winter breeze

Pine cone collectors stashing up

People stomping on crispy leaves, sounding like crackling fireworks shooting up from the ground

Wispy wind travels past my ear

Coats done up, gloves pulled on, closed in shoes and crackling velcro

Giraffes Can't Dance

At Kauri Whanau Assembly today Jessica C and Sonia presented an explanation of our artwork.

Giraffes Can't Dance taught Room 18 how to expand their growth mindset. We are all participating and giving everything a go. Gerald the Giraffe taught us that we are all unique and to dance to our own tunes. The book inspired us to make these pictures of Gerald in his different dance motions. 

Special congratulations to Amy, Lawrence, Pasindu, Sonia and Jessica C!
