3D art




This term we are learning to use a range of materials to create a 3D structure.

We had a look at some art from Alberto Giacometti and decided to make a 3D athlete. We got into small groups and discussed what sport we wanted the person to be doing. Together we twisted the paper and used masking tape then we covered it with tin foil.

Can you tell what athletic sports they are doing?

HANGI





On the far field on Friday near the far corner on the right we had a hangi. The smell was good, when I ate it it tasted even better. I ate it all up. Next my teacher took me to the bin. Next I went to get my hat then I ran back to the field. After eating a fire engine came and squirted the hot metal. When the fire engine had gone it lifted up the metal.

On Friday we had a hangi. At 5.00 in the morning we dug a hole. It was on the far field. Mrs Gain lead us to the table. The food smelt delicious. We sat on the far field. The food was delicious!

By Tom

On Friday we had a celebration for the Green Gold Environmental award. Also we had a hangi on the far field. The food smelt like chicken. When we ordered a meal we went and sat with our friends. It tasted delicious. I want a hangi again!

By Pra-wa


At the hangi I tried my food. It was lovely. I had pork. Then our teachers took us back to our classrooms to do maths. Well I thought maths but no we were having lunch. I liked the hangi. It was my favourite part of the day. I hope we will have another one!

By Luke

On Friday we had a hangi on the far field. There was heaps of food. I had a chicken drumstick and vegetables. At the end we saw the fire fighters truck to put out the hangi. I felt superb!

By Theo


We started at 5.00 in the morning. Then at lunch time it was prepared for us to eat. We waited with our plates and cutlery. We got served. We sat down to eat. I ate a chicken drumstick. It smelt delicious. Then the fire truck came. I felt so full after the hangi.

My Mum By Millie

My Mum is like a star
She sparkles at night when she kisses me.
Her lips shine.
Her face glows.
When she comes out on the deck it looks like she is flying.


My Mum by Grace

My Mum is like a love bird.
Her back is like a tail.
When I hold her hand she feels soft.
I love my Mum so much.
She's very beautiful.


My Mum by Lachlan

My Mum is as beautiful as a butterfly.
When my Mum goes out side she sparkles in the sky.
When she tucks me in at night she is beautiful.

My Mum by Theo

My Mum is like a racing car.
Shes as bright as a racing car lights.
Shes as fast as a racing car.
Shes cool like a racing car.
Shes as loud as a racing car.

My Mum by Thomas

My Mum is like a star.
She twinkles.
She cooks heaven food.
Her smiles shines.
She glows through the night.
