Week 11 - Kiwiana Art

 The children have been sharing all about their cultures and later in the blog I will share a slideshow.  In class we have been learning what it means to be a Kiwi (New Zealander).  We looked at kiwiana to learn more about the New Zealand culture.



We even watched a couple of advertisements that you might remember.


The children then looked at some kiwiana pictures and decided why they are special to New Zealand.  They then chose a one piece of kiwiana to create a piece of art.  

I am so proud of the finished art and here are a selection...  
PS snuck mine in as well. :)

Week 11 - Nature Everyday

 Room 11 is getting into Nature Everyday.  Today we went outside to look at the rain and the children wrote in their nature notebook about the rain.

The children were watching the rain and Mason said "Did you know that when the rain drops hit the puddles they make a star shape and bubbles."  We were fascinated and all crowded to have a look...

Week 8 - Granny Groggin
