The house challenge

On Friday the school had a house challenge. The house challenge was to design a house shield and we could put any thing on it, like smashed cd, fabric, paper and paint. In the end, when we all finished it and we put them in the tin shed, Mr Walker pronounced the winners but it wasn't Tawa! It wasn't Miro! It was Kowhai! All of us had a great day and I think Kowhai deserved it.

Be Funky

Today Room1 and 2 were doing our be funky. We learnt about Andy Warhol  and looked at his famous paintings. We went on the be funky web site and we did some of our own and they look very cool. I found out that Andy Warhol took black and white pictures and painted over them with colour. If you want to do one of these you will have to go on be funky's web site.

On Thursday Room 2 went to the museum to learn more about flight. It was cool there and here are some of the things we learnt. We leant that birds use their feathers to help them fly, that birds need special type of feathers to fly and also we learnt about bird bones and mammoth bones.
