Graffiti Art

This week the class has been working on creating their own graffiti art.


They explored lots of different websites and looked how letters are formed using different styles.


They then created their own name or initials in that style.

Here they are....

















Grade 6 Drama performance

On Thursday we were invited to secondary grade 6 drama class to watch their performances of traditional folk tales rewritten by them and given a modern twist.



The grade 4 children really enjoyed watching their performance and it was nice to recognise some familiar faces whom only two years ago were Grade 4's themselves.


Afterwards we took a walk through the secondary art gallery to check out the work on display.

Guest Speaker & Friendship Tree



On Friday the Grade unveiled the friendship tree we have been working on as a collaborative art project.



Now the grade will come up with an appropriate name for the tree and also write a descriptive statement for it.





We also had Mr Marty Sharples a secondary teacher.

He spoke to the grade about his documentary he made with his friend called the "Cyclo Diaries". A documentary about them cycloing (biking) from Hanoi to Ho Chi Minh city in 30 days.
Marty Sharples and Adam Hurley pedalled a Vietnamese cyclo almost the entire length of the country. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.



Mr Marty told the children that first you have to have an idea then plan it.
