To Town

After sharing the book, To Town, we used discovery time to create our own ways of getting to to town.

Lavalava

This week we shared the book Lavalava and learnt about how, where and when they are worn. Thanks to Tia and her mum for kindly let us borrow two Lavalava to wear and look at. We used rollers and stampers with paints to decorate our own lavalavas, don't we look great?

Safe places to play

As part of our Kia Kaha unit we discussed safe and unsafe places to play at school. We went out and tied our balloons to the places we thought were sensible and safe places to play.

Visiting Artist

Today we were really lucky to have an artist, Rebecca Lo, visit us and help us with some sketching techniques. We learnt how to measure where to start and end our drawings and how to use, light and dark; lines and shading.
