Art Exhibition Week

Dear Parents and Caregivers

Please note that due to the preparation for the art exhibition, we will not be running our regular literacy program. There will be no spelling testing this week and the children may bring home books to read that they have seen before. Please take this opportunity to focus on fluency, expression and identifying high frequency words, when reading these books.

THUNDER

Wow! What an amazing day of weather. 

Buckets of rain, thunder and lightening.

Here is a snippet of inspiration from one of the children.

"The thunder hit the sky and unrolled like a carpet of sound"

More plans and final pieces

Some were very much like the plans

Some of our pieces went to plan and some changed a bit.

We looked at our materials and made some plans. Then we followed our plans. We also had to problem solve when things didn't work as we expected.

ART INVESTIGATION AND EXPLORATION

In Tautoru we have been working with a variety of materials to create and explore in preparation for our art celebration.

It has been fantastic to see children sharing ideas and working together to create pieces of art.
