My Art Exhibition Masterpiece

This term we painted pictures for the 

Elm Park School Art Exhibition 2015.

The focus of our artwork was experimenting with different painting techniques, blending and shading colours together and creating repeating patterns.

To create our 'flower masterpiece' we practised mixing different shades of the same colour to create the wavy lines.  Then we used black vivid to create a repeating pattern.  We had fun putting our pictures together to create a whole flower - this was the best part!

Come along to see our artwork on display in the auditorium, during school hours, between the 

25th and 27th of August 2015.

Reading Term 3

I Am Learning About Root Words.

I can find a root word and I can make more words using different endings - s, ing, ed.

"It is easy to find the root words.  I can look for them in my books.   We practise finding them in our books and then we write them on our whiteboards.    Root words are the same words but they have different endings like s, ing, ed. "

Writing Term 3

Writing Progressions 1P:
I am learning to

• add some detail to my writing
• choose words to make my writing more interesting

We wrote about about a Kapa Haka Performance that we watched in the auditorium during Māori Language Week.  First we wrote 2 sentences and then the next day we added some more writing to make our stories more interesting.

"I like to write about my friends and food.  I sound out the words when I can't write it.  I know the word love - it's LOVE.  I am a good writer."

Maths Term 3

I am learning to add and subtract numbers to 10.

"I can play Slide Addition on the iPads.  I played with my buddy Maia.  It was hard taking turns.  We had to slow down and count the dots so we could get the answer right."
