Term 1 2014

Food journeys, conscious consumerism, studying Karl Maughan a New Zealand artist that loves garden, and bees we love researching about bees and are set to make our bee cafe Its been a buzzy bee term.

Term 2 Let's design create and beautify!

Kia Ora, 

Term 2 was a big term.  We learnt about water problems and how to solve them through the Stanford design model-https://dschool.stanford.edu/groups/k12/wiki/17cff/ by learning about simple machines.  We thought of an incline plane with a catchment to stop waste going into our drains and polluting our water.


We made our  lego models of our own MOTAT!


We have also being doing a lot of drama this term and had Todd Rippon an actor from LOTR come to talk to us about acting.

And we have been doing  beautifying collaborative projects with Room 25, growing tulips, painting bricks  and making areas beautiful like our courtyard beautiful  so people look after them and not trash them.

What we found puzzling? and What was our favorite piece and what stories could we see?

Story Board: Arts Festival 2012

Our Rich Task in Term 4 Was Story Telling:  our fertile question was who keeps the story alive?  We discovered that you can keep a story alive in many different ways, through dance, art, poetry, oral language, and written form.




We also studied John Pule as an artist and story teller.  John Pule is a Nuiean born artist who has lived in Aotearoa- New Zealand since he was 3 year old.  We loved learning about his art and creating our interpreted piece of his called   Hake aga Patopato.  


We told our own stories using symbols of our grandparents, childhood, living in auckland and school life- a  Story Board worth reading!
