• we can play loudly or softly

I am learning to talk about the characters, setting and plot of the stories I read with my group.
I am also learning to read a little faster so that it sounds like talking.

Teacher: What is one thing that you like about reading?

Harry: We get to read lots of different stories.

TERM 2 ART ATTACK

My drawing of still life at the workshop by Mr Shaskey.

We are learning to ...

• plan a drawing using the elements of line, tone, texture, colour, form, shape, and space
• use the techniques of sketching, using the correct brush strokes, colour mixing, texturing, and applying a black border.
• communicate and interpret my idea of a kowhaiwhai pattern.

Student comment: I liked doing the korus because I practised them at home and they look cool.
