Maths time today.....

Sometimes one whiteboard just isn't enough for these mathematicians. 

 

First Step of Whakarua 3's Myth Artwork

We have been retelling some different New Zealand myths at writing time, so we are doing some artwork about the myth Battle of the Mountains. Yesterday we practised drawing one of the mountain characters on a whiteboard, and today we used pencil to draw the outline of our chosen characters. We focused on drawing lightly with pencil and making sure that the features were nice and big. 

Here are some photos of the first step. Come back tomorrow to check out the next step of our artwork.

Skip Counting to 1000!

Joel challenged himself to skip count to 1000. 

Nice work, Joel!

 

STEP 1 of our art

We are creating art works inspired by the story Māui and the Sun. 

Here is what we did today: 

We drew our plans on whiteboards, making sure we used all the space and added detail to tell the story. We then used chalk to sketch our pictures on big pieces of paper. When we were happy with our drawings, we used pencil to outline them. 

Tomorrow we are going to paint our suns. 

Stay tuned for more pictures of our art lessons.
