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 the background is different. I found it tricky to do the wings because it was hard to do with the sketch pencil."

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.

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.

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.

Grandparents' Day.

Look who came to visit Room 1 on Grandparents' Day!

Our School Trip.

Room One went to the Howick Historical Village for our school trip.  We saw many things from the olden days.  We played with some wooden toys.  We made our own butter and we ate it on a cracker.  We had an awesome, rainy, tired, cool day!

My Scarecrow.

Here is my fantastic scarecrow!  First, I read a poem about a scarecrow.  Then I sketched one and Mrs Kerr blew it up on the photocopier.  I coloured my picture with pastels and glued on his flippy, floppy hat.

Sketching a Honeybee.

When we are sketching at school, we do a quick sketch first.  Then we do a very slow, careful sketch with the teacher, and these look amazing!  Here is my honeybee in the hive.

My Ice Cream.

And Look What Else I Can Do!

See Me Swimming!

My Balloon Bird.

We had a great time making our balloon birds which go up and down.  Blowing up the balloons was very tricky!  They look so awesome.

Grandparents' Day.

Today my grandma came to Elm Park School.  She is helping me to make a beautiful star with wool.
