Dye as a medium

Sam L

"We went outside to look at the mountains to do our art work. We did mountains. It was fun. I love dye."

Audrey

"Art. I made art with dye. The dye goes on the paper. My colours were brown and orange. I needed to brush the brush in the side of the box. It was mountains."

Elsie

"On Wednesday we made mountain artwork. It is fun. I know that it stains. I love dye." 

Olivia 

"Today I made a mountain picture with dye. It was tricky with the trees. One of them was orange and the other one was brown." 

Luana

"We made some blue dye. It was so much fun. You could use it on paper and card."

Cruz

"Today we went for a walk up to the courts. We looked at mountains. It was fun. We used dye."

Tessa

"I made a mountain artwork. It was made out of dye. We also made trees of dye. We did two. I made two types of mountains. A thick brush and a skinny brush. I did the opposite of fat and skinny."

Collaborating through art!

We are learning about changes in art. We are discussing words like MEDIUM and STYLE and DIGITAL ART. Today we practiced drawing stars so we can ad them to what we did yesterday. Check out our collaboration. 

Moulding Little Minds

We got curious about making Playdough with Ms.Carmel. What fun! We have been seeing how we can mould it into various shapes including our phonics, birds nests and spirals. This involves pulling, rolling, twisting, pressing and smoothing. 

A New Space

After the weekend we noticed a change at school. A new path has been paved to the courts which have lines for netball and tennis (there are tennis nets up too). At the brain food break we sat on the smooth river rocks and rehydrated ourselves at the water fountain. We have to remember to sit and eat our snack so we have time to internalise our learning which is the purpose of our brain break.

Kimi Akau Mahi Pai

  

We chose our Mahi Pai (good learning actions) for our Kimi Akau community. Our Tiki is looking out for people who are showing Mahi Pai.

He chose Chase to get the first Mahi Pai in Kimi Akau for good listening. 

Today Tiki was watching out for people who were working together, sharing and helping each other. Look at us sharing our equipment and colouring our own tiki.

We sang the Taniwha song with Ms. Eve. We are going to make our own Taniwha to protect our learning habitiat.
