Kowhaiwhai Art

We have been learning about koru. We have noticed this design is often used in many logos around NZ. First we practised drawing koru then we drew with scissors to cut out koru before we designed our own kowhaiwhai pattern on a black triangle. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Visit from Manatu Team

On Tuesday we were lucky enough to get a visit from Manatu Team a class at Clutha Valley Primary School. We loved sharing our writing with them and listening to their writing too! We took them up to check out Adventure World and our chickens. They have an incubator with eggs in their classroom at the moment! We shared our experience of raising chickens and trying to hatch eggs in an incubator. They also got to check out Room 6's new chicks. We had a fantastic time with the Manatu children and hope they had a great time visiting us at Gore Main also! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Free Range Chooks

Our hens are enjoying their free range life and the children and teachers  are enjoying having them around! They are so friendly that they will let us pat them and pick them up!

Digital Citizenship

Today we started our topic Digital Citizenship. We are learning to become digital citizens.
Digital citizens are people who are confident users of information communication technologies (ICTs) and use them in a positive way. They are honest and show integrity by always doing the right thing at the right time.

We read this story and discussed our thoughts and opinions.

Our Hen House Is Complete!!

Our inquiry project is complete with the addition of 4 new laying hens to our hen house. The new hens have been laying eggs daily and today we sent home our very first carton of Gore Main School eggs to Caedyn's Dad and Grandad who built the hen house.

Our hens are called:

Chickaletta

Dixie

Mrs Big Feathers

Blossom

They are very happy in their new house and have gotten used to being the centre of attention in Gore Main very quickly! The kids even got to pat them today!! 

Click on the link that says 'inquiry' to the left of this post to see our inquiry journey. 

Here are some photos of the completed project and the first dozen eggs. We can't wait to start selling our eggs! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our Egg Carton Labels

Looked at the designs on egg cartons from the supermarket and decided what we liked and didn't like about these.
We made a list of things that egg cartons need to have on them. Next we designed our own egg carton labels. Some of us worked with a buddy and others worked independently.

We are all super proud of our designs and Miss McKenzie is super proud of us too!
We created these on google slides.
