Starry Night




The Hawea Flat School Art Exhibition is on this Friday in Grand View after the Fashion Show in Room 5 and 6.
Room 4 children have been busy painting Van Gogh pieces. We looked at a number of famous paintings and 'Starry Night' caught our eye. We liked the way Vincent Van Gogh used little lines, swirls and dots. We had to practise his techniques before painting our final piece.
It took us long time to complete but we are all proud of our work now that they are finished. Here are some photos of us working on our Van Gogh pieces. We hope you get to see the final product at the school art exhibition on Friday.

Button Box




We have all been very busy with getting organising the Button Box production. We have been working hard in our Whanau Groups each Monday and Tuesday afternoon. Some of us have been helping with the backdrops, some of us are in the school band, and some of us practicing our dancing in the junior dance group. Not long now until the big show. We hope you have got your tickets. If not, you can get them from the school office. Today we had a rehersal and it is starting to all come together. It's going to be a fantastc show! See you there.

Instruction Writing





This term we all enjoyed writing and following instructions. Isla came to school one day with a great writing idea. She decided that she would write a set of instructions for making fairy bread. Isla published her instructions and the other children in Room 4 followed them. We all made fairy bread to see if her instructions were in the right order. They were!!! We all had a go at writing a set of instructions. Some chose instructions for brushing your teeth, making a milo, making toast, washing your hands, and instructions on what to do in the morning before school!
Here are some photos of us making fairy bread.
