Term 3 - Week 6: Planting strawberries, beginning to paint our pukeko masks for the masked parade, the sun finally shows itself so our sports leaders take us out for a game.


 We get our hands dirty planting some delicious strawberries, yum!

 We start painting the base-colour on our masks.
Thanks SO much to the parent helpers that gave us a hand 
beginning our masks and beaks.
Now that the paint is dry our next step is 
getting our cool blue feathers ready!  
The masked parade is on the first Friday of term 4.

 The sun shows up! 
Time to get active outside...yeeeehaaaa!!!!!

Term 3 Week 4: We wear mufti to raise money to support Natureland Zoo, Buddy Class with Room 14, we take on evil aliens and win!

 By wearing mufti and bringing in a gold coin donation the students helped raise over $400 for Natureland Zoo! 




We have 17 large pea pods now...time to eat them!
Make sure you have a look in our window 
to see how much they have grown.  


The clever Room 11 students work together 
using their combined intelligence 
to destroy a giant yellow blob, outsmart a nasty lizard, and defeat the deadly Arcturian aliens!  Well done!

 We got all diifferent kinds of fruit together and had it for morning tea....Yum!
We wrote a recount about it afterwards.





 We put some music on and had a great afternoon adding 
the colour to our calendar art.
We mainly used warm colours for the body and 
cool colours for the fins.








Finally we added our blue backgrounds


Term 3 Week 1 - Welcome back everyone!

 The students interview each other to gather data during statistics.
Then they had to display the data on graphs.
 The next step is analysing the data to see what the graphs can tell us.

 We begin our calendar art...fish of many shapes and sizes!
They began as pencil sketches using ovals, triangles and circles to help create the design.
Then a black marker was used to go over the pencil.

 Our sugar snaps have got peas growing on them now!
