Group Drawing Projects

Today, we had the opportunity to work in a small group to design, draw, and colour a scenic picture of our choice.  First, we had to sit with our group and decide together what our picture would be.  Then, we worked together, using pencils and stencils, to draw our amazing scenes.  When we were finished drawing, we had another team decision to make.

   We had to decide what we were going to use to colour our pictures with. We could choice either "skinny" crayons, "fat" crayons, or oil pastels.  Of course, we ALL picked oil pastels!  We had so much fun working in our groups, and we even learnt that we could use a tissue to blend the oil pastels together!

How Many Sticks Are You Tall?

In Class 24, we have been talking about different ways to measure things.  Today, we decided we could measure how tall we are using Mrs. Moala's cool ice block sticks!

Victoria is taking a break while Sauma sees how tall she is!

We had to measure Kauri twice!
This time Exodus T and Peni are seeing how tall Kauri is!

Keyana is being measured by Leah, and Bryston is trying to join in too!

 How many sticks tall are you?  Come visit us in Class 24 and maybe we'll measure you, too!

We even learnt what 1/2 meant because a whole stick was too much for some people's heights!
