Term 3 Mathematics - Measurement

We are learning to work with a partner to measure snakes in centimetres. 

We know we can do this when

This was fun because we got to eat them in the end.

A favourite place in Christchurch

A Place that is important to me in Christchurch.

A playground where I go after school on Patterson Terrace and it has a big field and the see-saw is separate from the playground because there is not enough room on the bark.

Art Attack Term 2

My drawing of still life at the workshop by Mr Shaskey.

We are learning to ...

• plan a drawing using the elements of line, tone, texture, colour, form, shape, and space
• use the techniques of sketching, using the correct brush strokes, colour mixing, texturing, and applying a black border.
• communicate and interpret my idea of a kowhaiwhai pattern.

Student comment: I was pleased with my art work because I used all the paper and didn't have any white spaces.
