Term 4 Weeks 6-7

Hi again from all of the hard working Kokako pupils - thanks to those parents who were able to make it into our room this week to review our progress with our learning goals - most of us have achieved at least one, if not two, of our goals (or are very close to it!) so it was exciting to be able to show parents our ARB books and to show off the work that is displayed around the classroom!

Last week our very last VIP was Ira - we enjoyed seeing and discussing what you shared with us Ira.

Last week we also created our own artworks based on inspirations we have had based on subject/artist/technique.  These can be seen in this photostory:

For reading we have been practising some plays in groups; we will present these to the class on Friday.

On Monday, for our inquiry, we visited local artist and ex-pupil, Allesha Ballard at her exhibition "The Shifting Walls' in the old Four Square shop.  We viewed her work and talked about how she had created it.

On Tuesday we had a go at creating our own photo artwork using photos of old houses - these are the inspiration for poems that we began writing today, and we also took our own photos to use for a similar artwork to be titled 'School Days'.

We have started practising for our end of year concert items and look forward to the triathlon which is next Monday.

Have a good week!
