Art Inquiry Workshop

Kathy Klein

Nature mandala.

What I think about nature mandalas is... that they are really awesome and fun to make. The reason that I went into this workshop is because it doesn't harm animals or plants and it uses lots of different and exiting colours.

I have learnt that Kathy Klein was born in 1958 and now is 59 years of age.

I am looking forward to making the actual art really colourful. I'm going to be the best in the school.

Inquiry

This Term for inquiry we have been doing heaps of thing around wetlands and helping the environment. 

We have been to the waitangi wetlands to pick up rubbish and plant trees.

We have also been to the Napier national aquarium.

My favourite part was painting at zeppelin cafe and gallery.

The Clive pool was really fun, we went on a big inflatable.

It was really fun and it was an amazing experience.

Maths

W.A.L.T: Do fractions and decimals.

In our workshops we have been using " passports " to do our maths. We have to go to at least 8 workshops altogether. Everyone has workons and those are the workshops you have to go to. Maths has been cool over the last term.

P.E

W.A.L.T: do skills for netball like shooting, passing, stance and catching.

Shooting this Term has been really fun and cool. The teacher did a really good job on teaching us how to pass and catch. She taught us how to do a stance that is used in netball.This Term we have been doing netball. Netball as surprisingly fun. It's a fast pace game and there's lots of running involved. I think everyone has been having a fun time playing and learning things.
