Well here we are...agricultural day!

We have had a busy day, the children have had a wonderful time eating lollies, creating bouquets and face pikelets and Mr. Potato head.

Modules Week 2, July - Sculpture

The Room 3 children have been working with Miss Clark in Room 2 creating sculptures. Take a peek...

Here is what the children have to say...

Ashton said "In the kiwis I liked getting the tools and working with the clay."

"I like about the modules because I liked putting the things together," said Navah.

"I liked when we had to do Xs on the body and the beak and the eyes so the bits would stick on when we rubbed water on the back," commented Tayla.

"I didn't like when we had to design the body because it was really hard," noted Haylee.

Campbell said "I enjoyed cutting out the paper."

"I enjoyed poking the toothpick in the eye," said Jessica.

Room 3 Modules - Printmaking.

This was our first week with Modules and Room 3 children experienced print making with our trusty 'Yellow Express'.

The photos tell the story and show the activities. The results are amazing! What a bunch of clever kids!! (hehe).

The children cut out their templates and NAMED them. The first print was white, this is our background or base. After a day the children then cut out the centre square from the original template and printed this red as our frame.

Finally the children printed their koru shape black. WOW! Good work guys.

"I enjoyed rolling the ink," said Callum

"I liked spreading the ink on my koru," said Alec

"I enjoyed turning the press down," remarked Ruben

"We all enjoyed seeing our pictures in the end," commented Eden

"I enjoyed cutting out the koru, I had to remember to turn the paper to get a straight edge as I cut," noted Ashton

"Well done for such good listening and enthusiasm!" Cried Mrs Robinson
