koru art

                                              Koru  Art

For the first piece of art this year, we did koru art to show important people in our lives. We could use the koru, {new beginnings} pitau {love} or manapare {strength} I did red, orange and dark yellow for the inside of it and purple, sky blue and dark blue for the outside. Mrs Strathern showed us a smudging technique to make the picture pop out. I am very proud of it.

Yesterday, some of us did a poem to do with Anzac day coming up in the holidays. We did actions to go with the words. I have attached a video of me doing it.

'Black' poem

                                                Black

Black is nightmares filling a horrified child's thoughts through out the windy night.

It is hairy monsters rising from under the dark, messy depths of your bed.

Black is night time with a putrid surprise of creepy crawlers darting up someone's jittery legs.

It is horrid thoughts of what a dreadful day it had been.

Aunty similes

              Similes response to ' James and the giant peach '            

                     by Roald Dahl 

                 1.   Aunt Spiker is as long as an ancient warrior's sword. 

                 

                 2. Aunt Sponger looks as rotten as a putrid rusty rubbish dump.

         

                 3. Their words meanly pierce into James's like a dagger hitting him suddenly.
