Room 1's cultural prints

Room 1 was inspired by tapa and tivaevae designs. We had a go at drawing our own tapa or tivaevae design. Then we created a monoprint and then a printing block. We used sticky printing ink to create three different coloured backgrounds. After that we printed our tapa or tivaevae print using black ink. Have a look at our printing blocks and our finished prints.

Room 1's Green Thoughts

Room 1 has been learning about red and green thoughts. Red thoughts are negative thoughts. They don't help us and they aren't true. We can change our red thoughts into green thoughts. Green thoughts help us and make us feel good about ourselves. We all had a go at writing green thoughts that we can say to ourselves. Have a listen to our positive green thoughts.

Kung Fu Panda 2 - Recount by Oliver

On Wednesday I went to see Kung Fu Panda 2. 
First we went to the bus to go to Kung Fu Panda 2. Finally we were there. I had popcorn and a fanta. In the movie Lord Shen and the wolves were trying to kill the ninjas with this gun that shoots metal and fire. I loved the movie. 


Next I had Burger King. I ate six chicken tenders, chips and raspberry fizzy. Then I chased birds. I was fast. After that we headed for the bus. 


I felt terrific because I went to the movies.

Kelly Tarltons - Recount by Kalia

On Sunday I went to Kelly Tarltons. First I saw penguins. Then I went on the train to see the penguins. I took some photos. They never clean it up. I went with Mum and Nana. After that I saw some sting rays. They were big as and the fish are little. I saw some sharks. It had some spooky music, and I saw a diver in the H2O. Two divers in the H2O. They were cleaning the glass. I saw a treasure chest. There was a crown and a bracelet. They were gold. I felt excited.
