I'm A Poet And I Know It

In writing today we explored the language of poetry. We read a poem about scootering around the town and used it as inspiration for our poems. It was a challenge to try and write in this way. Here are some poems we composed:

Riding on my skateboard
Balancing, balancing, balancing
All around the city
-Oscar Carey

Swishing on my skates
Around, around, around
Spinning, spinning, spinning, 
All around the town
-Luana Kirchoff Pereira

Once went I was riding
I was doing 360s
With my sister
I listened to my Mum
And I loved it
-Noah Reid

I am on my bike
I am turning on my bike 
To jump
I fell in the pond
I was covered in frogs!
-Angus Roberts

Riding my waterski
All around the lake
Doing some tricks
And back flips
On my waterskis
I was going and going 
Until I was stopping
I got into the boat
-Cruz Schwalger

Riding on my skates
Going swishing round the gates
Seeing all my mates
Holding on the gates
Seeing the whole estates
Faceplanting!
Waaaaaa!
I WANT MY MUMMY!
-Tessa Hurndell

Watercolour Madness!

We tried a new medium today - watercolour! We used watercolour paints and watercolour pencils. We also got to spray our art to make it run - check out what the colours do in the timelapse at the end of the video.

Caption This!

We created spring paintings using paint and then we wrote captions. Look at our growth mindsets at writing time.

Message To An Artist

We have been looking at change outside our window and using it to inspire us in art. We talked about spring and how it's almost here. Yesterday we created some floral artworks using paint but no brushes! Check them out below.

We also all wrote an email to a local artist Bridget who creates digital prints. Here is a bit of the writing we did:

To Bridget, 

I like your art. It is good. How do you draw so neatly?

Angus

To Bridget, 

I like your picture. Your pictures are cool. How do you do them?

Benjamin

To Bridget, 

I like your art. You must have worked really hard. I would like to send you a message. 

Felix

To Bridget, 

How do you do wonderful drawings? I love wonderful drawings. You must have read my mind. 

Tom

Bridget's reply:

Hi Eve,

Wow that's so cool. Please thank the children for the lovely messages and let them know that this kind of art is done on the computer so I use the computer mouse like its a paint brush!

Thanks again,

Bridget
