Taniwha Art Work

In Maori Language Week we read The Boy and the Taniwha by Ron Bacon and Taniwha by Robyn Kahukiwa. We made taniwha artworks using marker pen, crayon and black dye. 

Samoan Language Week

Talofa Lava from Room 2,

Last week we had lots of fun learning about Samoan language, food, dance and culture. Our shared book was called Lavalava by Lino Nelisi. After we read the book, we wrote stories about where we would wear a lavalava. We hope you enjoy reading them.

Koru Pattern Paintings

In Term 1, Room 2 looked at koru patterns as part of our ‘Identity’ topic. The Koru symbolises new life, growth, strength and peace. We found the koru in nature and in art forms, then used what we saw to design and paint our own koru art works. When we had finished we talked about each other’s koru paintings.

Easter Rhyme

Easter is the most important feast in the Catholic calendar. At Easter Jesus died and rose from the dead to save us all. We have learnt to say the Easter Rhyme and made pictures to show what it means.

The Bear's Picnic

For our assembly in week eight, we made a play out of our shared book, 
'The Bear's Picnic,' by Joy Cowley. We drew the pictures to make a book for 
our classroom. For the play we all made bear headbands and two alligator headbands. Some people brought in their teddy bears and sun umbrellas.  Everyone had a part to play and we had a great time.
