Book Week 2014

Mexican Art

We have looked at Mexican Til Foil Art the past few weeks and have made some vibrant lizard art using tin foil, sharpies, paper and pastels. They are so effective and we loved making it look 3D. Here are some photos of a few of them.

House Day

On Friday 27 June it was House Day. We were in different classes for two blocks and did lots of different paper crafts and some Jump Jam. Here are some photos of us. ENJOY! House Day on PhotoPeach

Cameo Writing

Last week we did some cameo writing. We focused on making our writing descriptive and include detail in our sentences.
Each table were given a different picture to describe and then we independently wrote about the picture.
They are really fantastic. Here are some photos of us working as a team.

'The Incredible Movie Time'
By Z.D

Kapow! The movie starts, I can hear bird tweeting. Suddenly a blue Macaw show up. When i eat my ice-cream I can taste the wonderful taste of banana. When I ate my popcorn everytime I put it in my mouth my teeth crunched the popcorn into little tiny bits of popcorn and I could taste the wonderful molecules that are in the popcorn.


'The Candy Man'
By E.S

I walked into the hall...mmmm...the smell of lolly pops squeezed tightly through my nostrils. It felt like I was surrounded by rainbow lollipops. The candy man flipped and rolled the boiling hot lollipop mixture on a heavy, rock hard metal table. He flavoured and coloured it and gave us a bit to shape into magical shapes. We had to 2 of each flavour. The flavours were strawberry and watermelon.


'Bay Wave'
By E.K

Splash!! Splosh!! Splish!! Kids were skimming about all over the pool like a dog that has just discovered that the whole world is made of doggy treats. I started to runto the pool, I jumped in. I was soaring under the water like a penguin who is trying to catch a fish. Suddenly I crossed against the back of the pool. The waves were starting up...CRASH!! I bumped against the back of the poolagain. I hit it a few more times. Then I was underwater, I could not breath. I swam to the surface but the waves were crashing against me. I ran out of the pool like a person who had just found out that there was a shark in the swimming pool. But it is all over now, I'm so glad of that.

Weaving!

Room 23 have been working very hard since Week 1 making this art project. We needed to show determination during the hard parts and not give up. We are all very proud of what we have done and learnt lots of art skills. Here are the steps we took when we made them: 1. Draw a hill or beach landscape on a paper plate 2. Go over the pencil lines in sharpie 3. Paint around all the little details and the background 4. Use coloured sharpie to colour in small parts. 5. Cut little slits around the edge to fit the wool in 6. Get brown wool to make tree branches and the tree trunk 7. Get yellow wool and weave it into the brown tree branches 8. Tie off each colour when you have finish and begin with another colour. Check out these photos! Weaving on PhotoPeach
