Intermediate Production

Hi bloggers!

Yesterday we went to Waikowhai Intermediate to watch their show/production.

The show included dance, music and singing. We went down to the school by bus. We were very lucky for this because originally we were going to walk but the intermediate insisted on getting us buses. Thanks!😄 

Unfortunately we are still waiting to see if we are able to put in pictures and videos.
Here is the link to their site though.
Check it out!

After the show we used deBono thinking hats to reflect on our time at the show.
Here is my reflection

If you don't know what the deBono thinking hats are they're basically different colour hats that represent different things.
The white hat represents information, this is where we had to put in what the show was about. The yellow hat represents the good things in the show.
The black hat represents the bad things.
The red hat represents how you were feeling during or after the show.
The green hat represents creativity.
And the blue hat represents what they could do after the show.

Art show

Bonjour bloggers!

All the classrooms in our school did different pieces of art. Rm 1 did fishes and my class did paintings of birds. My bird was a tui.

Here is our paintings

I think that my artwork looked ok but there were some other things I could have done better though. This is only my class's art the other classes did really cool things too.
The hardest thing was probably getting the bird done because if you messed up the bird you had to start again!
I think I nailed the colour of the sea though, it looks really nice.
The Tui above my one is my friends. Check out his blog at http://wpsbenl.blogspot.co.nz/

Matariki artwork

Hi Bloggers!

A while ago we made ponamu (Maori charms)
We used polymer clay to sculpt different symbols and then we cooked them
Here are the pictures.

Here is what we started with.

This is what I finished with.
(it's called the double twist)

Here's how we made them

1. I heated up the clay with our hands so that it was easy to mould
2. I sculpted the twist
3. We gave it to our teacher to be cooked
Later that day we got some cool clay necklaces!
The only hard thing was making the clay easy to mould!
When the clay was easier to mould we got to make our designs that was the fun bit.
