Athletic Sports Day

We had our school athletic sports day today. We took part in the junior rotation. We did Jumping for length and height with Mrs Derrick, Relay's with Mrs White, Throwing for accuracy with Mrs Togiaso and Throwing for distance with Whaea Heather.
We tried really hard at all of these things and had a lot of fun. At the end we had sprints and moonhopper races.

 

van Gogh inspired flowers

Look at these amazing pastel drawings based on artist van Gogh's famous sunflowers series.
The children took lots of time and effort to create these great pictures.
I think some of our 5 year olds could be the next van Gogh!

R is for Rainbow Weaving

In week one, one of our letters of the week was the letter Rr. For our Friday craft, we did rainbow weaving.

Don't they look good?

Term 3 Art Project

We have been busy working all term on our contribution to the school art project - we started with draft pictures of 'Anything' pictures, then 'Present' pictures and finally 'Future' pictures. We then painted our 'Present' picture of us at school onto the wood panels that we spent an afternoon sanding, then oiling. We helped Whaea Alice with stripping the harakeke flax a few weeks ago, and she will be carefully hanging all of the panels with Steve in the next week so the Art can be unveiled on Thursday at a special dedication in the hall.

Our art journey!

Welcome Lesley and Taurean!
