Below are pictures and links for the button art piece, the sewing kit jar and the sock puppets that you might like to use for inspiration. I can't wait to get started on these projects.

Shapes all around us

We went exploring around the school and found lots of 2D and 3D shapes.

The drinking fountain is a cube.

Our table tops are octagons.

The shade sail poles are cylinders.

The twister court is full of circles.

This ramp is made up of rectangular prisms.

The netball hoops are circles.

These bars are parallel.

The tunnel is an octagon.

These windows are oblongs.

The Shape Name Game

As part of our Geometry unit, we have been learning about the different 2D and 3D shapes. Below is a link for song about shapes that you might find useful.

Mondrian Inspired Art

Last week we learnt about the artist Piet Mondrian (1872 - 1944). We looked at images of his paintings and then created our own in a similar style.

We think our geometric art looks fabulous, come and see for yourself. Thank you to Ruby, our Paparazzi, for the great photos.

Big Day Out at Clip 'n' Climb

What an awesome afternoon we had at Clip ' n' Climb this afternoon. Thank you very much to all our parent helpers who came along and helped; we would not have been able to get so much climbing in without our help checking harnesses and belay attachments.

Some reflections on our Big Day Out;

Holly - I went up the walls lots of times.
Neo - I tried three times on the rope and ball wall to complete it.
Nick - I was proud when I got into the hole in the rock wall.
Lily - It was hard but I managed to do the dark chimneys.
Ella - Today I tried my best to get right up to the top of the coloured square wall.
Thomas K - I was pleased that I climbed to the top of the timed wall and pushed the button.
