Facial Expressions Part 2

Here's the rest...........

Olympics: Chocolate Challenge

Our third day of Olympics saw us taking part in a Chocolate Challenge.  We had to eat a set amount of chocolate with our hands behind our back in the fastest time.

Our winners were....

Gold Medal: Great Britain

Silver Medal: Australia

Bronze Medal: Singapore

Skate Boards

Another art piece we have been working on for a while are our skate boards.  

First we had to cut out a skate board shape from card.  After applying two layers of papier mache to it we then coated the skate board in white paint.  Once it had dried we drew our design on and then painted, collaged or dyed our designs.  

We had to have our initials and date of birth on our skate board but the rest of the design process was entirely up to us.  we have used images, symbols, words and colours that mean something to us.

Once we had completed them, Mrs Young attached some velcro dots to the back so that they can stick to our walls.  Very clever!

Here are the first of our completed skate boards.

Distorted Kiwiana: Batch 2

Portraits - first 10

We have been exploring the art works of Robyn Kahukiwa.

Mrs Young took a photograph of each member of our class.  Once it was enlarged to A3 we traced our image onto another piece of paper.  We had to pay attention to where the shadows formed on our faces in our photograph.  Using paint, we recreated the shadows to give our faces more detail.

Finally, we filled our background with pieces of advice that have been given to us over the past two years.

Our Writing and Editing

During the term we have been exploring how to write successful reports.  In pairs we wrote our first report which needed to include an introduction/classification and several paragraphs that explored our topic, before closing with a suitable conclusion.

Mrs Young then introduced us to a way of editing which should help to make the whole process a little easier than it has been in the past.

Step 4 of the process has us reading our report to our Talking Partner......all they have to do is listen and then comment on a few key points!

So here are some of us going through step 4......

But wait......there's more!
