Plants that are magnets to butterflies

YouTube is a great tool if you want to find an answer to something. We are looking at gardens that attract butterflies. Joley found hundreds over wintering on one tree.

Decisions, decisions, decisions

Where are we to put our butterfly garden? Here are some spots we thought might be a good place

Drawing farm animals

Brooke is proud of her pig drawing because she saw some fur on the pig and she used shading. 

Jorja likes her horse shape and size. 

Dwight is proud of his goats eyes and ears because they look realistic. 

Isla likes her foal because she practiced how to draw the ears. 

It was Isabella's first time drawing a fawn and she is proud of her very cute fawns ears. 

Shaping up

Jack has learnt about negative and positive space. Negative space is the background or the outside of a shape. 

Blake thought it was fun drawing different type of lines and using a vivid to draw over them. 

Alexandra enjoyed drawing 3D shapes then using a vivid to outline her shapes. 

Daisy has learnt how to draw 3D shapes using lines to show a shape is real. 

Art interchange

Every afternoon Pukekos have interchange. This is an opportunity for the children to learn and discover new learning areas. 

In art the children have been learning about the elements of art. Using a variety of mediums the children are able to describe and explain what type of lines they have used in their art. 

Hazel said "I have vertical lines in my heart." 

Jorja has used thick lines to make a different coloured rainbow. 

Daniel told us that a triangle has diagonal and horizontal lines. 

Arjana was explaining that she used wavy lines to make a frame and peace signs using diagonal and vertical straight line.
