Maui and the Sun Artwork

We read the legend of Maui and the Sun as part of our inquiry unit about Myths and Legends. 

Today we finished our artwork that we have created of the sun in the legend. We included Maori patterns in our designs and we used dye over pastel to make them.

Keep an eye out for photos of the completed work or you will be able to see them displayed in our foyer very soon!

Term 2, Week 6

Zero Waste

Over the past two weeks we have had Miss B. from Zero Waste come into Room 8 to teach us all about ways we can reuse items that we might normally throw away. We learnt that old clothes can be handed down to younger siblings or cousins, ripped up for rags or donated to 'op shops' for other people to buy at a cheap cost. Things such as glass bottles can be reused as vases for flowers and you can reuse plastic bags from your shopping to carry your swimming togs or even your lunch! 

We had fun reusing tin cans from home, transforming them into awesome 'Desktop Tidy's" to store our pencils and glue sticks in.

Check out our cool desktop tidy's! There's a robot, a pig, a chick, even a couple of bunny rabbits!
