We have been learning how to paint water. We then added our pastel blending skills to add the sea creatures. Was a lovely activity to complete our water theme.
Welcome to our blog. We are students in the Junior Class at Lake Brunner School. Whaea Pip is our teacher. We are named Moana after the lake and the town we are in. Our school is on the West Coast of the South Island in New Zealand.
We have been learning how to paint water. We then added our pastel blending skills to add the sea creatures. Was a lovely activity to complete our water theme.
It was so cold this morning! We talked about being cold and used our imaginations to write and draw about the cold day. Enjoy our book movie we made! Come visit our classroom to read the book itself on our bookshelf!
Today in Moana, we designed super fun hydroslides! Some of us drew our designs and some of us made them.
When we had finished designing them, we wrote about them.
Later, we pretended that we were going down hydroslides - we made the faces we would make when we splash into the water at the bottom.
Then we practised our pastel blending skills to make water.
Our finished pictures look super-splashy, don't you think?
We have been doing lots of collaborative learning; some of the Te Kinga students taught us some Maths games.
As you know we have been learning all about Water and here are some of the activities we have completed. We drew around puddles to see how much water was there was after an hour in the sun.
The water had evaporated due to the sun heating it up. The water had changed from a liquid to a gas; water vapor.
