Water Colour Painting

Today we started to learn how to use our water colour paints. On the Endeavour this was how Joseph Banks and others on board the ship recorded what the expedition saw. No cameras in those days!

 

Life on Mars!

We are pretty interested in all of the recent activity on Mars, who would have thought that we can sit in the classroom and see what is happening way out there!!!

Lost and Found

We had such a creative week. The art and writing based on Oliver Jeffers book is great. Come into class and see what we have done :)

Lost and Found

Today in class we first read the book Lost and Found by Oliver Jeffers, then we watched the animated version which Mrs Smallbone had found on The Literacy Shed. What a great story! We are busy writing stories to explain how the penguin got to the small boys house
