Hundertwasser Art

This week we created art work using coloured pencils, vivids and dye.  Our art work is inspired by an Austrian artist Friedensreich Hundertwasser's paintings of buildings.  Here is some of our work.  You can see the rest in our individual blogs.

Measuring Out Buildings and Giants

We are learning about metres in maths.  Today we went outside and used chalk to draw a building and a giant.  First we had to work as a group and draw a building that was 2 metres high and 1 metre  wide.  Next we had to draw a giant that was 3 1/2 metres tall.  Only two groups managed to successfully complete their giant in the given time.

Planning and drawing together.

Measuring the roof.

Working well helping each other.

A successful building!

This group had to readjust their roof height.

Yeah! A successful completion of a giant.

Didn't we do a great job?

LEARNZ Field Trip to Christchurch Airport

Christchurch International Airport is the gateway to Christchurch and the South Island.  Up to six million passengers travel in and out of the airport each year.  It is also the largest single place for people to work in the South Island.  For three days we will have special security clearance to go to the airport and find out what happens behind the scenes at New Zealand's second largest international airport.

We are going to being going on the LEARNZ field trip by watching the videos and reading the diaries starting tomorrow.  We will share some things we learn with you soon.

Brianna's Home Learning Story

Great to see Brianna practising her writing for Home Learning.  Here is her story.

Today my nanny and I went to the Food Show and I loved it.  First I went to a chocolate stall and I liked it so so so so so so much. When we were going to go I saw Jordan and Nickki from Masterchef.  I talked to Jordan and she is so cool.  Nanny bought me the biggest hot dog.  We had to get something for Cohen because he wanted to go to.  We got Cohen two pieces of fudge.  I  was so fascinated at some smoked eggs but Nanny did not buy me some but the man gave me some.  I wanted to get Daddy some licorice but Nanny didn't buy some.  I loved it so much.

Fun Run

Here are our 8 year olds who had to run around the block.  Lots of our 7 year olds left early with their parents so there was no time for a photo unfortunately. Well done Lucas W who came 2nd in the 7 year old boys and Marshall who was 3rd in the 8 year old boys.
