Gallery Seven Journal- Week 6, Term2

This week we continued to explore kowhaiwhai patterns in art. We continued to paint, use pastels and mould clay. Some of us also had a go at weaving kowhaiwhai patterns using gutter guard and fabric off cuts. It was quite tricky but we kept trying. Some of us joined large pieces of paper together and worked as a group to create large kowhaiwhai patterns.

We also started learning a bit more about what is inside the human body. We put together the digestive system on Jo, using things from our classroom equipment. We also started finding out about the skeleton.

We went into Rata’s sensory room and got to interact with lots of material it was heaps of fun and very noisy. We jumped on bubble wrap, bashed and crashed and cracked things and played games together.

Keira and Thomas performed in a  concert at school playing their recorders. They played two songs and they did a very good job.

Quinn was chosen to join some other children from Kowhai to put some leaf prints under our railway spike.

Alicya and Sean were our artisans of the week. Sean got his for taking interesting photos to document

our Reggio Exploration time and Alicya  got her for being persistent in her attempts to weave kowhaiwhai patterns.

Noah got a special award from Ms Swanson for his efforts during reading.
