Play dough Sculpture

Today the Yellow room had their second sculpture lesson with Miss Smits we are learning how to add texture to our Gruffalo using our fingers, toothpicks and popsicle sticks. We were so focused on our learning that we didn't want to stop for lunch!

Cultural Week Visual Art

During Cultural Week we learnt a lot about the Maori gods that are part of the creation story.  We used these outlines to practice drawing a koru shape.  We will fill the backgrounds and dye them.  Come back next week and see the final results of these and our printmaking koru shapes.

We've also been practicing our collaboration by working on these with one or two buddies.  It is awesome to watch the children working together and using their words to express their feelings and ideas about their learning together.

Drawing

At the end of last term we were learning how to draw different types of lines.  We had to learn how to hold a pencil in a funny way so that it would make fat, fuzzy lines.  Come in and check out our fantastic drawings in the Red and Yellow rooms.
