New Zealand Flag-Kiwiana

On Wednesday Room 10 students learnt about the the meaning of the signs and symbols on the New Zealand Flag with Mrs Evans. They were taught the names of the symbols, and the meaning of the colours. Look out for their stories about the New Zealand flag next week.

Values Self Portrait

Key competencies and values are so important when children are growing up. This week Room 10 students sketched a self potrait using a pastel. Each student  chose two words to describe their buddies personality. I was amazed to see how many budding  artists I have in Room 10. The process of sketching was modelled to the students. The students had to use  space wisely and ensure the features on the face were sketched in the correct places.Some students were able to add some detail to the features. The pictures below show how much effort was put into this artwork.  Tell us what you think.
