Art Exhibition

In the last term of 2010 Summerland Primary held an Art Exhibition.  We could only choose one of our art works to share.  We created art works in the style of Warren Pohatu or Laurel Burch and decided which one to share.

Kowhaiwhai Patterns

We created these kowhaiwhai patterns to represent us and our families.  We incorporated patterns based on the work of Warren Pohatu.

Gabe's Bull Skull

Today Gabe had some awesome news!  When he went to his Grandpa's house in Kerikeri he came back to Henderson, Auckland with a huge skull.  It is very heavy.  He is going to put it on his fort.  We asked him what kind of animal it was and who killed it.  It had a bullet hole at the top.  We also wanted to know where the meat, brains and eyes were.

Glenys Character Descriptions

We have been learning what makes great character descriptions.  Here are some we wrote about our teacher, Glenys.
We have been commenting on each others writing - you might like to check out our feedback.

Kiwi Kick

We went with Room 14 and Mr Nisbet to Kiwi Kick one hot afternoon in July. Adam was our magnificent Kiwi Kick tutor. He is a Kiwi Kick expert. We had lots of fun and learnt how to punt the ball properly.

Symmetrical Aliens

We read 'Aliens Love Underpants' and 'Aliens in Underpants Save the World' by Claire Freedman and then wrote a character description about one of the aliens in the books.

Then we created these symmetrical aliens in Photoshop.  We drew half the alien along a mirror line (line of symmetry) and then copied and flipped the image to create the whole alien.
