Immersion Assembly!
It's Term 4 and we have had our Immersion Assembly, and the theme for this term is 'Art Alive'.
Team 1: They have created a video of themselves as famous artists, and recreating famous paintings. So they are learning to create famous artist and come up with ways on how to be that person.
Team 2: Are learning about different portraits and what ways they can draw their portraits with different kind of things around them. Also learning about different cultures around the world and learning how to do art in that culture.
Team 3: With the water guns and squirting out tie die, they have made a cool sheet with the art skills they used and painted a rainbow over it and made even cooler. So they are learning on how to be creative with cool things that they can create on their own.
Team 4: Having a google meet as their discussion on what their going to do for this term, and they each created a picture with different culture designs and decided to have that as their topic for this term. So they are learning to draw different Pasifika culture designs and patterns from around the world.
Team 5: The teachers as cool sculptures and paintings in a Art Gallery, we a learning how to create art that is important to us and also act like we are in an art gallery of cool designs. Creating and drawing the things that are special to us and our Whanau.
Mr Burt has decided we are going to change our school logo, because he doesn't know the special reason on why we have a fantail on our logo as our bird. But a bird called the 'Kuaka' which mean in English the God wit, is soon going to be on our logo. Because this bird is commonly seen in our area Point England and around Tamaki too, but also did you know that it can travel from New Zealand all the way to Alaska in the United States. The Kuaka bird travels there and back because it comes to our area in New Zealand to rest and eat, then travels back all they way to Alaska from about 7,512 miles.
Amazing!
