Mosaics

Is part of our inquiry we have been looking at the history of art. At the moment we are up to Roman art and have been busy creating our own mosaics.

Using Voice Thread

We are learning to use voice thread to record our thinking around what growth mindset is. The question we had to answer was what does it mean to have a growth mindset?

Fear

In He Puna Tārei we have been writing about fear. We could choose to either describe fear or write about a time we experienced fear. Here is some of our writing.

He Puna Tārei Art Gallery Trip - Beyond the Frame

He Puna Tārei Art Gallery Trip - Beyond the Frame

He Puna Tārei enjoyed a visit to the art gallery where we

explored the idea of thinking ‘outside of the square. We had

to create our own painting inspired by the artworks in the exhibition

Out of the Frame.  Our artwork had to have: a primary colour, a colour

we made ourselves, texture (smooth and bumpy) and one colour blending

into another colour. We had lots of fun and used the Habit of Mind -

imaging, creating and innovating when making our piece of art.  Next we

have to figure out how to display them in the class!

Romero Britto Self Portraits

He Puna Tārei imagined, created and innovated self portraits based on the artworks of Romero Britto. We followed the tutorial video step by step to draw our portrait. For our backgrounds we created patterns using things we like.

Wolf Descriptions

We have been learning to write descriptions. We listened to the sound of wolves howling and looked at images. Then we had to describe what the wolf looked like and how it might act. We published our descriptions on Book Creator - click on the link below to go to book creator to read it.

A moment in time - The Tank

After our trip to the Waiouru Army Museum we wrote about a moment in time. We had to write down what we heard, saw, felt and wondered. Here are some of our stories.

Six Sentence Stories

We had to create a story using only six sentences. We then used google drawing and google slides to turn it into a book. We hope you enjoy.

Tapa Cloth

We looked at Samoan Tapa patterns and we practices drawing them. Then we created our own on brown paper and coloured it with black sharpie. Miss Nation and Ricky cello-taped all the art to make a huge tapa quilt.

Using IMovie

Logan, Tycho and William created a movie to show what we have been learning in Te Reo Māori.
