Term 1 Week 3 2020

Week 3
Last weekend Sir and Mrs Windleborn took a big trailer with a winch all the way to Mangawhai and they came back with a surprise! It was a big red boat with a little cabin. Lots of children can fit in the boat. We liked the boat, especially when we found out it was going to be put in a sandpit. The boat needs a few repairs before we can play in it. One of the students asked where the sandpit was going to be so we explored the school grounds for the best spot.

We love the boat and are very excited about getting a sandpit!

Self Portraits

The clever students in Te Kakano have been learning how to draw faces. They looked in the mirror, and talked about the shape of  heads, eyes, noses mouths and eyebrows. They used their hands to measure where to draw the facial features on the face shape they had drawn. The students practised first and then drew their own faces on a big oval shape.

They added detail like eye lashes, and coloured in very carefully.

The hair was made by colouring in a piece of paper with wax crayon and then tearing it up into small pieces.

 Everyone did their very best art work.

The students happily shared the glue and brushes.

Our portraits aren't quite finished. Keep checking our Blog to see them when they are finished.
