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.

"I can show my mum and dad the different parts of a book.  We worked on the mat with Mrs Koroa and she showed us what to do.  I can do it by myself now.  I had to read the cards too."

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 liked the kapa haka.  I liked the songs.  I liked the poi.  I liked watching the play about Hatupatu.  When I need help to find interesting words I can ask Mrs Koroa to help me.  I can try and sound out the first letter."
