Our Animations showing our W.I.T.S @ Paihia School

We have been using our animation skills to share our understanding around solving problems.  We have been discussing our W.I.T.S. and how we can use these to solve problems within the playground and classroom.  You will see that we are just learning to add our words to our animation.  We have cooperated with a buddy to plan our animation, we have planned a sequence with a beginning a middle and an end.  Then, we have created and shared our animations.

Little Red Riding Hood

One reading group was learning to read and present a play co-operatively together. The play was presented to an audience after they had created props and learnt their words that they were able to speak like the character that they were acting. We expected the text to be understood, responded to and appreciated by others.

Matariki Fun

Most of the Room Four students gathered at dawn to hopefully see the seven Matariki Stars before having a shared breakfast. During the day we participated in a variety of fun activities; kite making and flying, painting, constructing stars, flax weaving, string games, weaving flax flowers and flax duck quackers. We had a shared kai for lunch.

Leaf Art

During Autumn we had the opportunity to observe a variety of leaves. We used these leaves as our motivation for visual art. Before beginning our art we observed a variety of processes.
