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!

Fun Friday in Room 2

On Thursday we wrote about Fun Friday. We have been learning to use the words yesterday, Today and tomorrow in our writing this week. Have a look at our writing about Fun Friday and then some pictures about what we do for Fun Friday in our class.

 Lino worked really hard on his story and kept rereading and editing his work until it was perfect! 

Ocean remembered all his writing goals, and found the words by himself. Look at the cool picture he drew about what he wants to do on Fun Friday. 

Cheldyn was learning to write the word is today. He wrote it all by himself!
