Self Portraits using Crayon and Dye

Miss Stewart and Mrs Henderson taught us how to draw our faces and get our facial features in the right place. We used crayon and dye to complete our portraits. Here they are. 

Photo Competition - Pet Day 2020

 For Pet Day Team Awa had a photo competition. Aimee came in and taught us tips on taking an effective photo. We then had a chance to use an Ipad to take photos and choose our best one to enter in to the competition. Here is our photo display from Pet Day. 

Maunga Art

Recently the trees at the back of our school had to be cut down. We now have a wonderful view of our closest maunga Turoto. We sketched it and used it as motivation for our landscape art pieces. 

Play Make Create Rockets

For the last two weeks we have been focusing on rockets. Last week we had a focus on Play Make Create with Rockets. One of the tasks was to create a rocket from recycled materials. The only specific criteria was that their rocket had to stand up. The children really enjoyed creating their rockets and came up with some awesome designs. Some even spent time modifying them to try and get them to stand up and meet the criteria.

Pom Pom Germs.

For the first few weeks back at school the children have enjoyed making pom pom germs. They chose the colours and wrapped their cardboard rings until there was no space left. They glued on eyes, small pompoms or pipe cleaners to decorate their germs. They gave their germs names and described what their germ did. Check out the kids blog pages for their stories. Here are some of our germs.

Nature Art

Team Awa have been creating some masterpieces using nature. Here is a slide of their work.

Superhero Self Portraits

Here are our awesome completed Superhero Self Portraits. We are so proud of them. 

Art - Term 4

Here is some of our great art from this term.

With Miss Larsen we did Kadinsky inspired circle backgrounds using warm and cool colours. Then we put black and white straight lined building on top for contrast.

Our second piece was using our Maori kupu to create a word picture. We used the weather words or fruit words we had learnt with Matua Ken and wrote them into the shapes to create a picture.
