In term 1, Room 1 studied art by Van Gogh, Monet and Renoir and chose our favourite picture to recreate.  We learned about finding the middle, sketching using soft lines and how to use the different brushing techniques from these artists.  It took us about 10 weeks to complete our work and we were so happy to show it to the whole school and our whanau at the last Ake Runga of term 1.

You can see our work displayed on the library walls and in Mr. Ataera’s office.

Swimming Lessons started this week and here we are gaining confidence in the water.  We are becoming familiar with life jackets and working together to be safe in and around the water.
