Spring is here!

We have noticed that in the garden things are starting to grow quickly now that Spring is here.
We took a close look at koru and began by experimenting with drawing koru shapes using crayons.
Here is what we drew in class last week.  Now we are starting to create koru pictures using pastels and thinking about shading and blending complementary colours.  Come in and see our final pictures.

Shape Creatures


In Rooms 3 and 4 we have been learning all about shapes, we have talked about all the words we use when we describe shapes.  Words like big, small, sides, corners, straight, curved, and round as well as the names of many different shapes.
We used different shapes to create creatures.  Have a look at this slide show to see how we used our imagination to make creatures from everyday shapes.
