Pet Day

Thursday 19th of Sepytember was Pet Day.  On Wednesday the 18th we got our art ready.

We made some art and craft items to be judged.

Our Matariki Stars were created using string, paint and glitter.  We studied 2 different Matariki stars each.  We then chose our favourite and wrote about it, publishing it on the back of our stars.  We then drew a representation of our star.  We put string over our designs then painted them.  We put glitter over the string.  They look amazing hanging in our classroom.

We created Bird Stick art.  We studied bird mirgration and sketched a image of our chosen bird.  We splotch painted the back of our wood green and blue.  We then transfered our sketches into sticks we had colleced from around the school.  We glued our stick birds to our board. Wow!

We brought items from home and put together a scene on a tray at school.

We collected wildflowers (or garden flowers if we had them) and bought them to school to make a Wildflower design.  They look so beautiful.

We all had a great day on Thursday looking at all of the animals.
