My Wild Self

We are learning to use juicy describing words in our writing. We made our own wild selves and wrote about them using lots of great adjectives. Look at our great writing below:

 

 

This is my wild self. I think I look so pretty and I have a cool t-shirt with love hearts. I love my wild self. I have two ostrich feet.

This is my wild self and I have beautiful light orange butterfly wings. For my ears I have warm fluffy polar bear ears. On top of my head I have long nice feathers. I have lots of other cool heathers around myself. I love my wild self! The background looks like a zoo because it is a zoo and a beautiful butterfly!

This is my wild self. I have a lightning t-shirt. I have bat wings and awesome glasses. I have cool yellow shoes and so cool black pants.

This is my wild self. I have sticky frog arms. I have spider legs and a stingray top. I have a piece of lightning on my t-shirt.

Melted Crayon Art

We had an exciting time creating a class work of art for the Big Night Out art auction. We used a hot glue gun to glue crayons onto a canvas then used a hairdryer to melt the crayons down the canvas. We made flowers out of fabric and jewels to finish this colourful wax garden. Our favourite part was watching the crayons drip down the canvas.

Te Ika a Maui

This term we will be learning about water as a part of our focus on "Treasuring our World". To begin our study we looked at the Maori story "The Fish of Maui". We learnt about how Maui caught the North Island of New Zealand on his waka. We retold these stories in our own words... Have a read below!

My Toy

 

We are learning about toys and how they have changed over time. We made our own toys with paint, cotton wool, googley eyes and stickers. We labelled our finished work using the Skitch app on our tablet. Check out our great artwork!
