Art Week was full of new experiences for us, including glitter art, clay modelling, and ink printing.  Come into C6 sometime and see all our colourful Maori and Pacific Island Art work on display.  There are lots of photos to see of all the artists at work.

This is what Hana wrote about all her favourite things about Art week:

I  had  an  awesome  time  in  Art  week. My  favourite  thing  was  making  whales.  They  had  koru  patterns  on  the  whales.  We  made  the  koru  patterns  out  of  toothpicks  on  the  whales.  We  made  flowers  out  of  tissue  paper.  We  also  made  jandals.  We  make  quilts  with  paint.  We  put  decorations  on  them.  We  did  ink  kiwis.  We  did  scary  taniwha.  We  made  glittery  koru  patterns.  We  did  jigsaw  puzzles  too.

What  busy  bees  we  were,  C6  Superkids !

C6  Superkids  sang,  "Never  smile  at  a  crocodile"  in  the  Pikopiko Team's heats of the School Talent Quest.  Thank  you  to  Mrs  Palmer  for  making  us  the  crocodile  mask.  Great  singing  and  dancing,  C6.  You  were  all  so  keen  and  confident  up  on  the  stage.

We all loved joining in with the Drumming Show in the school hall.

We had lots of colourful costumes in C6 on Dress Up Day!

This is what Finn  wrote about our trip  to the Museum:

I  went  to  the  Museum  on  Friday.  I  liked  making  crayon  prints.  It  was  fun  at  the  Museum  on  the  bus  because  I  sat  beside  Tyler.  Eating  morning  tea  at  the  museum  was  fun.

4  interesting  sentences - well done, Finn!

We had an exciting  start to Term 3 with a trip to the Museum  to look at the Maori Art.  Thank you to all our wonderful helpers who joined us.  We had a very interesting time, making some of our own kowhaiwhai prints and looking around the galleries.  We loved the glitter art work by Reuben Paterson.

On Kiwi Day in C6 we made kiwis for our Kiwi posters.  We painted beautiful forest backgrounds too, for our Kiwi paintings.  After all our hard work we had a Kiwi treat - a chocolate fish!
