Gallery Seven News - Term2, Week 4

This week Shaun and Kyla were our Kowhai Express Stars. Shaun was a star for being an experimental learner who is developing good self management skills and Kyla got hers for being an engaged and persistent learner in all areas of class learning.  We also won the Kowhai shield at assembly, YAY!

This week we painted our Ankylosaurus sculpture the colours we chose last week . On Tuesday afternoon Mr and Mrs Cooks came in with some

e-monitors and took some film of us painting and doing other activities in the classroom. On Friday we finished painting him except for his eyes. We think he looks cool and we are looking forward to sharing him at next weeks assembly.
We  continued to explore kowhaiwhai patterns this week. We had a go at using chalk pastels and blending them, adding black outlines and adding white over the tops of other colours. We have been enjoying  working together on one artwork  and working on an artwork over a number of days. Some of us are wanting to explore these patterns using paint and some of us are wanting to make 3D kowhai.
Crystal did some great chalk art outside the other day, she drew a picture of the Earth and then on one side she drew the moon and on the other the sun, it was very well done.
During reading this week Quinn read a book about electricity this is, is a power station that he created after reading it, it had wind turbines and he could show how the power travelled around.
Noah and Zoe were our Artisans of the week. Noah got his for developing self-management skills and be an engaged and persistent reader, and Zoe got hers for being engaged and showing persistence in all areas of learning.
