Art Exhibition 2017

For the 2017 Elm Park School Art Exhibition we created our own butterflies. Here is my painted butterfly and also my Kidpix butterfly.

"I am proud of my butterfly because I could draw a great butterfly. I found it tricky to do the lines because they were small."

Celebrating Matariki in Room 8/26

Matariki is the Maori New Year, it is an important Maori celebration. The seven stars that make up Matariki are Matariki, Tupu-a-nuku, Waiti, Waita, Waipuna-a-rangi and Ururangi. There are lots of different ways to celebrate Matariki such as through music, songs, food and family.       

In Room 8/26 we celebrated Matariki by having a feast, making star cookies, reflecting on our goals for the term, learning a waiata (song) and going to the Auckland Museum to learn more about Matariki.

Super Mathlete

I am a super mathlete!

We are learning how to catch and pass small balls.

For PE we have been learning how to catch and pass small balls. 

To pass the ball we need to have our hands up in the shape of a W and push the ball out from our chest. To catch the ball we need to have our hands up ready.

We have been showing our school value of Resilience by not giving up.

Principals Award Winner

Congratulations! You have demonstrated our school values of Respect, Responsibility and Resilience, well done!

I am learning how to float using a pool noodle

This term we are learning Water Skills. We are learning how to get in and out of the pool properly and how to be safe in and around water.

Ladybug Collage

Here we sketched ladybugs onto black paper. Then we cut out the ladybugs and leaves. We added spots and strips to add detail to our ladybugs and leaves. It was very time consuming when it came to gluing all the pieces together, but we done it!

Bubble Wands

This week Room 5 made bubble wands.  They wanted to see if different shaped wands made different shaped bubbles.

We discovered that no matter what shape the bubble wands were, the bubble will always come out in the shape of a sphere.

ICT Tagul - Word Cloud

Ratty tatty cat sniffed in boxes and tins.

At Elm Park School we have buddy classes, where a junior class is buddied up with a senior class. Room 5’s buddy class is Room 24 with Miss Hughes.

Room 5 was fortunate to have their buddy class help them do a word cloud on the laptop called Tagul.

With the help of our buddy class we were able to come up with our own word cloud that was related to the Big book Ratty Tatty Cat.

Check out what I wrote and designed.

"It felt pretty fun because the fun part was picking the cat and choosing the colour" Raymond
