My Mural

Emily and I made a mural just a sketch of Oreti beach in New Zealand  in the sky was lots of birds. Out the back was the Takatimu and the Remarkable mountains and a forest. We had kiwi, an oyster catcher, a ocean, sand and some birds on rocks.
 I was really fun and I hope we can paint it up on a wall in town.

Lilly Pad Art !

On Thursday the  first week of school  I made lilly pad art with Katie it was really fun. First we watched a clip of Monet  he was a very famous artist  he made very  famous paintings in the clip this man said that Monet used Tashes in his paintings. First  I made a blue background  then I made the trees then the dots for the lilly pads then you get the white paint and do five strokes on each dot then put some red paint in the middle and your done! 

Reflection at Enrich

Hi! It's me again, Tara. I am going to tell you about my reflection. I have just finished it finally - Have a look!  I am really proud of it. I hope you enjoy it. Today at Enrich we played a Wilson game. It was really hard because you had to work as a team to jump together to get into a hoop.  Sometimes people were jumping before Katie clapped, so you had to go back to the start! It taught us good strategies on working together and it was really good to warm our brains up this morning!!

My mask made from clay

Today I  got to work with clay. I was making a mask out out of clay. First Katie cut the clay then we had to flatten the clay out. Next, Katie put newspaper under the clay to give the mask a 3D shape. Then we had to soften the face. After that I made the pieces to attach to my mask - eyebrows, eyes, pupils, ears, nose and lips.  We had to score these pieces and then score the part of the mask where we wanted to attach it.  My mask will be left to dry now.  I might try to do a coil pot next time.

Term one

The learning wheel is part of my learning at Enrich.  It is about some of my feelings, things that I'm feeling, and things that I've learnt.  Here is my learning wheel:

Teacher comment

Drama talent development was definitely a great choice Tara you really embraced the chance to get into character and perform. It is also good to see you willingly trying all the other opportunities and challenges that enrich has to offer, as well as making some new friends.
A great start keep it up!

Drama

Today we had to pick our talent development.  We could choose from drama, photography and maths.  I chose drama.  We looked at some videos of people dressing up in clothes and pretending to be fairy tale characters.  They told the stories mainly with their voices and a little bit of acting.  We had to pretend to be a troll under the bridge in the Billy Goats Gruff story.  I got to be the troll, and a wicked witch, I sounded like a chipmunk!  It was fun getting to be a little pig in the Three Little Pigs!
