Welcome to Term 4

Hello everyone

Term 4 is shaping up to be a fun and busy one.
Please check our blog and feel free to comment and ask questions specific to the post.
We love to hear from you as the interaction is what brings the blog to life.
During our first week we created some beautiful "spring flower and mini-beast" art that was displayed at the Plant Fair.
These paintings were made using chalk for our very beginning sketch and then once we were satisfied with our back ground we drew over the chalk with black vivid.
We used only dye from this point on.
We all used the same green dye for our backgrounds but got to choose from red, pink, yellow or orange to colour our flowers.
In stages we added depth and texture, still using the same chosen  colour, but a bit more concentrated. Our final stage was to choose one other colour and add some interesting patterns to our flowers.
 Finally we added designs to our background in a deeper green and we got to place the mini beasts we made with black paper and pastels.
We think they look great.
What do you think?

Thankyou

Hello Mrs Lunn and the children from Room 1 at Waihola District School
We are all happy to know that you are having lots of fun with some of our favourite toys. Matthew spent many hours building the train tracks-probably more than the rest of us but we all did enjoy that set. It used to be a good way to spend time together and with our friends and cousins too.
Mum said you have been also reading some of our special books too. 
It's great to hear that we are sharing some of our childhood memories through  our lovely mother and some dusty bits and bobs from our shed. 
From Rhiane, Logan, Matthew and Tom Copland
