WE ARE EXPLORERS

We are Explorers!

This Term our topic is on EXPLORERS.

Recently we have been learning about 

SIR EDMUND HILLARY

CAPTAIN JAMES COOK

&

NEIL ARMSTRONG

We integrated MATHS, TOPIC & ART and created

either a ROCKET SHIP or A BOAT.

We used 

SHAPES and Different Art Materials like: Paint, Crepe paper, toilet paper roll, paper plate, pastels, straws and different coloured paper.

Rocket Ship

We used paper plates for our background and painted it black. We then added stars by putting white and yellow dots on it. After that we made our rocket ship. We looked at rocket ships and identified the different shapes we could see and we created our own rocket ship and added crepe paper at the end for effect.

Boat(Waka/ Vaka)

We learnt about the different patterns we have for each culture in our class. Kowhaiwhai (koru), Island Tapa cloth patterns including the MANULUA (our senior school).

We selected the different kinds of patterns we liked and used 3 different coloured pastels to create a personalised boat.
