Train Trip 2013

On Thursday 17th October, the Junior School went on a train trip to Waitakere. As we walked from school to the train station, we practiced our road safety skills. On the train we went through the tunnel, and then returned to Swanson Station to spend time in the park. We had a fun scavenger hunt and played on the playgrounds.  Room 11 would like to say a huge thank you to all the parent helpers who came along. We loved having you there with us!

Calendar Pop Art

Please come into Room 11 to check out our Pop Art! 

Our Kiwi Kids Pop Art was inspired by Andy Warhol.  We began by looking through different images of pop art, we loved the bright colours!

We then became photographers and took photos of each other.  If we were in the photo we had to make sure that we kept very still and as the photographer we had to make sure that the person was in the centre of the camera frame.

Then Mrs Applegate helped us turn the photos into sketches. 

We printed them out and then had lots of fun painting them with tiny paint brushes and dye.  We tried to make sure that there were different colours in each frame.

Order forms will be going home soon for the calendars and diaries.   

Folk Dancing!

Folk Dancing!, a set on Flickr.

In term 3 we have been doing folk dancing.  We dance with a partner and sometimes in groups. We have learnt lots of different dances.  As you look through the pictures can you guess which dance it might be?  Have a think and tell your family and friends which your favourite one is.
