Art Start....and Maori Potatoes

On Friday we looked at Fraser Williamson's artwork. We decided to paint the backgrounds of our pictures first.  He likes bright colours, just like we do!
It took all day for everyone to complete their background.

 

The Maori potatoes are ready to plant. Who would like to come and help plant? This variety is Kowiniwini (click on the word Kowiniwini)  If you come and help plant,you can take some home for your own garden!

We now have a link to our class blog on the school website.  Whaea Victoria sat at the computer on Friday morning and put us on the website on the Homepage on the left hand side in "Class Blogs."
When anyone in the world views the school website,they have easy access to our blog.

Artist Fraser Williamson

Friday 4th September is a great day  for painting.  Look back at a post about Fraser Williamson (it's on the sidebar on the right, click on it.)
We will look at how he painted animals,and what his influences are.
We have Te Rua,Dylan and Ryan to help us with our art.

Billy's Nan came by our class after school.  She is coming to garden with Billy on Monday!!
Our letter has worked!

Thursday Garden Stuff

Today we did a diagram to go with the informative letter that is on the blog.  We all  had a copy of the letter, and we decided that a diagram of the garden, and what is happening there would be helpful to take home too.
The diagrams needed a heading,they had labels, and they helped make our writing more clear.

 We still have the Italian parsley to plant for Mr Phillips, and beetroot.   Maybe some people from home who read our letter,and look at our diagrams will come and help us plant.

A Stormy Day

A Stormy Day

The rain was really heavy.  There was a pouring waterfall falling down the hill. I could not sleep at all. I just kept waking up. There was a  big flood in the sheep paddock, and the chook pen. I had to wear a rain jacket and gumboots.

A very wet day

I can hear thump! bump! when the rain crashes on the roof.  We wear jackets,we come in cars,or walk under an umbrella.

Bolies just runs outside and jumps on the tramp.  Atutahi runs outside and grabs him.
At Kaila's house,there was a waterfall pouring down the hill.
Ryan couldn't sleep last night because the rain was so loud.
At Billy's house,they had a river flood, A big puddle was at his gate.
At school Lyric said the water on the window is like waterfalls.

Whew !! We are at school now,it's a good shelter in our classroom so we won't get drenched!!
