3D Art in R4

Bailey enjoyed creating a town scene, awesome result.

Perspective Art

Yesterday in R6 we looked at Perspective Art and how to create a picture with one vanishing point. Maybe next time we will try two vanishing points!

Floating boxes, our first attempt at using a vanishing point.

I think some people did really well at creating that 3D effect.

Ciarna's first attempt at using a vanishing point with a word, not bad.

Our first onion!

Yes the corn is now taller than the children.

Yumm, look what we found. Yummy strawberries.

Visiting School Garden with J7, 8 and 9

Finding potatoes, very exciting.

Mrs Faulks found some onions in the garden.

Time to do some weeding after the long holidays, but tomatoes are growing well.

Canoe Polo

As many of you know I currently have two children attending Rangiora High. There are many opportunities for them to compete in many different sports. Dan's current favourite is canoe polo, which is fun for spectators to watch, although a little scary when they fall out.

A Day in J8

We created a compare and contrast map looking at differences and similarities between NZ and Fiji

Basketball skills with Matt in the school hall.

These young people could run all day.

A Day in Te Māhuri

After attending Izy's funeral yesterday it was great to spend a day with these very caring children many of whom attended the funeral. A lovely supportive class.
