Pinocchio!

We have been using the iPad app "Explain Everything" to practise our writing and illustrating.

Here are some of  our illustrated stories about Pinocchio.

We also coloured in some pictures of Pinocchio!

It's My Bread by Diana Noonan

In Room 2 we have been reading lots of books, here is our retelling of It's My Bread by Diana Noonan.

We even made cardboard puppets of the animals in the story.

Our Shape Monsters

In Room 2 we drew pictures of monsters, we used different shapes for different parts of our monsters.

What shapes can you see on our monsters?

Maui and the Sun

Last term our inquiry topic was Myths and Legends. We looked at lots of different myths and legends. We really enjoyed learning about Maui and we drew the sun from Maui and the Sun.
We practised first by drawing them in our inquiry books. We practised drawing the half sun and then a full circle to see which one we liked best.

 Savannah and Jordis's practise sun

 Cheldyn and Vaka's Practise sun 

 Mariah and Jairus's practise sun 

 Fereti's practise Sun

 Chance and Lino's practice sun 

 Orlando's practise sun 

Jah and Dane got to take Mariana's sun home.

Then we did them on a big piece of paper

If you went to the Matariki light festival at Te Oro you might have seen some of our artwork because it was on display at an exhibition!

We can write- By room 2

This week in Room 2 we have been reading the big book I can write. The book is about a boy who shows us all the places he can write, so we decided we would make a book of the places that we write in our classroom.
