WE FORGOT

HAVE A GREAT LONG WEEKEND.....NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY

Friday

After lots of training for our cross country we found out today that it has been postponed until later in the year. It is just toooooooooooo wet to have it next week. Never mind, we are VERY FIT now.
Bryn - we hope you put LOTS of snow on your painting of Mount Cook - there has been lots. The mountains are opening for skiing too.
Next week we go to Room 8 to learn all about Maori Art. Mrs Wilson has been reading us some Maori Myths so we already know a little about Maori Art and the designs they use.
It is important if we are not coming to school we get our parents to ring the office and let them know.

Thursday

Tomorrow is sausage sizzle day again. We can buy a sausage for lunch every Friday this term. Our orders need to be in on a Thursday morning but if we forget we can order them on Friday morning.
We wonder if Bryn knows all about Pacific Island Art - perhaps we will have to write to him and ask him all about it.

Tuesday 19th May

Today we went to Room 11 in the afternoon. We looked at Pacific Island Art. We looked at Niue art and found out that some of their art looks very similar to Samoan art. They both have flower patterns.

Art Work

Yesterday we looked at another New Zealand artist called Marilynn Webb. We will be recreating some paintings on Friday - keep watching this space.
Did you guess what COW stood for. It is Computers on Wheels. We have it booked again for tomorrow morning YAY!
This week we are making x-ray pictures of Australian animals. We have found out that the symbols inside them represent their spine, heart, lungs and other organs. Today we have done the outline and will finish them tomorrow.
Mrs Cooper is trying to get two movies put onto the school web site. These movies show our pictures so Mum's and Dad's and Grandparents will get to see what fantastic artists we are....
WORLD FAMOUS IN ROOM 6!!!!!!

Cow Day

This morning we had all the apple laptops in our room and they came across in the COW - ask us at home what it stands for....can you guess?

We finished our versions of Graham Sydney's landscapes. They are up on the wall - come and have a look as they are great.

This afternoon we started our aborigine art and tomorrow will start doing the dots.

Monday - its May already!!!

Today we did a bit more on our Graham Sydney paintings. They are looking great - maybe we will be famous like him one day.
Tomorrow we are starting to look at Aborginal Art and the symbols they use. Perhaps you can help me look at home to find some information about it.
This morning we went for our first practice run for the cross country - it was hard but we will get much better and faster the more we practice. The cross country is on the 2nd June - only 4 weeks to get fit!!!
The hall is looking great - they are now working on the inside of it so it won't be long until we can get to use it.
Remember to look inside our homework books - we have spelling and some notices today.
