Room6@Sunnyhills

Last week on Friday, we explored creating art with pastels. We blended a multitude of colours to make the background and then we cover it completely with black pastel. After that, we scratched off the black pastel to make wonderful and eye catching designs.  What do you think of our designs?

In room 6 for the last four weeks we have been using an amazing kit to help us develop our knowledge about Statistics and Measurement. We have researched what it takes to create a world record, created our own records and now we are testing and challenging them. While we are testing our records we are using lots of mathematical language, measuring things using the metric system, converting measurements, collecting data, organising data, analysing data and soon we will be presenting and displaying data. We are having so much fun working with friends and using our Sunnyhills GEMS to help us create our world records. Check out some of the photos from today!                

As part of our inquiry topic Turangawaewae, we are going to be creating pieces of art that represent ourselves. We will sketch the outline of our heads and shoulders, then fill the inside of our profile with pictures and words of things that are important to us and make us who we are, finally we are going to add colour in the form of dye. It will look fantastic. Today we watched an amazing tutorial on how to sketch an eye and then practiced some of the techniques that we saw. This will help us when we start to sketch the outlines of our heads and shoulders and when we sketch all of the wonderful things inside. What do you think of our eyes?
