Exhibit for Elm Park School Art Display

We created decorative Maori kites, weaving in colours and textures to represent 'We are Elm Park"

Maori Patterns: Tā moko

In Term 2 and 3 we have been learning about Maori patterns.  We went to the Auckland museum.  Look at my moko!  At the Te Tuhi art gallery, we created our "WE ARE AOTEAROA, NEW ZEALAND" art.  It looks amazing on our classroom wall.

Welcome to Autumn

Autumn leaves fell all over Elm Park School. This gave us a great idea. We used Kidpix to make our own leaves and illustrate our awesome autumn writing.

Water Safety: Learning to be safe and confident in and around water.

I am learning to be safe and confident in and around water.

This term I have been learning to move safely through the water:  walking and   
holding on to a noodle.

Ladybug Collage

Here we sketched ladybugs onto black paper. Then we cut out the ladybugs and leaves. We added spots and strips to add detail to our ladybugs and leaves. It was very time consuming when it came to gluing all the pieces together, but we done it!

Tsung Wai "I liked how I made the leaves it was so easy. I found it hard making the ladybug. It was so tricky for me but the leaves wasn’t tricky for me."

Bubble Wands

This week Room 5 made bubble wands.  They wanted to see if different shaped wands made different shaped bubbles.

We discovered that no matter what shape the bubble wands were, the bubble will always come out in the shape of a sphere.

Bubbles

For inquiry we are learning all about Bubbles.

We are learning what bubbles are made out of and describing what they look like too!

Here we were making bubbles to help us describe bubbles by using our five senses.

ICT Tagul - Word Cloud

Ratty Tatty cat went meowed and howled. Then he went on a car. 

At Elm Park School we have buddy classes, where a junior class is buddied up with a senior class. Room 5’s buddy class is Room 24 with Miss Hughes.

Room 5 was fortunate to have their buddy class help them do a word cloud on the laptop called Tagul.

With the help of our buddy class we were able to come up with our own word cloud that was related to the Big book Ratty Tatty Cat.

Check out what I wrote and designed.
Tsung Wai " I was having fun and I used my story. My friend in room 24 helped me write my sentence about Ratty Tatty Cat. I picked one of the two cats"

I Am Swimming

Here I am learning to float with the board.

My Balloon Bird.

We had a great time making our balloon birds which go up and down.  Blowing up the balloons was very tricky!  They look so awesome.

My Cool Cat.
