Abby @ Ohaeawai School

  We have Pet Day at Ohaeawai School every year and one of the activities we do is to create a symmetrical design on a saucer using flower petals. You put Vaseline on the saucer first to make the flowers stick. That’s why they are called Vaseline Saucers. Here is a pic of me with mine:

We have been learning about using apps on our Chromebook to create images that look like mosaics or stained glass windows. We used Google Draw to make some and some people also used Sumopaint. Google Draw. I chose a butterfly because its my favourite bug/insect.

  We have been learning about abstract art. It’s all about creating works of art that don’t actually look like anything. We focused on the American artist Frank Stella, who liked to make pictures using shapes like circles, triangles and rectangles. Here is my work:

  Because we were using ‘Insects’ as a topic this week for reading and writing we created some works of art based on insects also. We had to make them out of any materials we could find at home. I chose to use: pipe cleaners, coloured paper, and paint. Here is a photo of my creation: 

 Last week we made Pixel art. I made a love heart. We are going to make them into magnets. Here is my work. 

 

 

 

Last week we made rockets from recycled materials.

For Art we made pom pom germs using wool. We gave our germs names and decided whether they were a good germ or a bad germ.

On Wednesday we used the story Robot Stop as inspiration for our Play, Make Create tasks. Here is my tasks I completed for it. My maths. We had to draw a robot using a ruler and then measure all the parts of the body and add it up.
