Post Card


In writing we have been learning to think about the writers point of view. We are reading the book "The Faraway Tree" by Enid Blyton in class. The book is about a little girl called Connie whose mother is ill so she is sent to live with her Mothers friend and her children, Jo, Bessie,and Franny. The children show her the Faraway Tree and to begin with she doesn't believe them.

We have been talking about how Connie might have felt and what she would have said to her mother. We decided to write a post card from Connie would say.

I did not find anything hard. 

I found it easy to type it all up.

Next time i need to work on typing more.

Story Telling


During our Te Tuhi workshop "Creative Stories" we learnt about the different ways a story can be told. We explored our story "Quaky Cat" through role play and then created our own posters.

I found it hard to work out what to do on my paper. 

I found it easy to cut the paper out when I new what I was making.

Next time I need to work on doing more on my page.

Black Hole Narrative

Blended Giraffe



I had to practice using different line and blending techniques to create a realistic looking giraffe. I found it easy to follow the teachers instructions to create the giraffe shape. It was difficult to keep all the parts in perspective. Next time I will try harder to use blending to show dark and light.
