Calendar Art

This year for our calendar art we created geometric paintings. We were hoping to use the same technique as we did with our paper plate artwork but it was going to be difficult to pull tape of cartridge paper. So we decided to draw our lines on first, then paint our blocks of colour. Lastly we used insulation tape to make the black, white, blue or red lines on our artwork. They look great hanging up in our classroom and even better copied (in a reduced size) for our calendar art. 

Speech Finals

 
Congratulations to Holly, Aimee and Mckenzie for representing the Kauri team at the school speech finals.

All three girls did a wonderful job.

Aimee and Mckenzie are going to represent Clevedon at the Rehu Tai competition next term with their flash talk and poem.

Emotion Poems

Along with our colour poems we have been writing we wrote emotion poems too. We talked about what the emotion looked like, felt like, sounded like, smelt like, tasted like and what particular colour represented that emotion.

For example;
Blue = sad
Pink = embarrassed, love
Red = anger
Black = fear

Here are some of our poems.

Colour Poetry

We have been writing poetry this week. We started with colour poems looking at what the specific colour is in the world followed by what we think it looks, feels, tastes, smells, and sounds like.  Here are some of our poems that we have written.
