Aboriginal Painting

We made Aboriginal paintings. We made different types. Everybody used different colours. We used dots, swirls and lines to make our paintings. We had great fun. Here are some of our masterpieces:

Africa and Sand Painting

We have been learning about a girl called Domitille. She lives in Rwanda. Because we were talking about Domitille it made us think of African art so we ended up making African sand paintings. This is how you make it. You get a page, draw a picture and get some glue and coloured sand. You put glue where you want to put your sand. You keep putting on glue and sand until your picture is finished. We really enjoyed making them. Here are some of them:




Show and Tell

We did ‘Show and Tell’ a few months ago. The whole class brought in objects to talk about. Shane brought in his tiger called Tige. Geordan brought in a picture of his cousins. Kelvin brought in his teddy bear. Callum brought in a shark. We enjoyed talking about our objects. Here are some pictures of us with our objects.

The Selfish Giant

We decided that we would do the play ‘The Selfish Giant’, based on the story by Oscar Wilde. It was on on the 12th of February. We had loads of fun practicing for the play. There were lots of flowers in the garden. The children were scared of the giant at first but then they got to like him because he put a little boy into the tree. The giant played with the children every day after school. Lots of moms and dads came to the play and they enjoyed it a lot. Here are some pictures of us practicing for the play.
