My Poetry

In writing we have been learning about poetry. Here are a few of mine:

Surf Beach 

Surfers battling for a wave 

My mum is telling my brother and me to behave 

The sand, so hot, so crisp, is burning the soles of my feet  

My mum finally lets us have a treat

He hit the ball so very high 

   It went so high it touched the sky

   He hit the ball so very high 

   It didn’t come down, he started to cry

Mixed Media Hands

 You hold the future in your hands. 

In Term 2 our Visual Arts focused was on Mixed Media. We finally finished our pieces of art at the end of the term. We started off by creating two hands, most of us copied our own hands as templates.  One hand represents our past and the other hand our future. We used lots of different materials and symbols to make our artwork as well as exploring a range of different techniques with watercolor paint. This is my art work.

Hockey

On Friday we had so much fun with Sport NZ as they came in to teach us hockey.  We got to do warm up and drills with the hockey sticks and played against each other in teams.  We are already looking forward to next Friday’s session. Here are a couple of pictures:
