Tessellations

We are learning about Tessellations, Tessellations is a picture that has no background instead it is just a different colored picture. This week and we have started to draw them we started off basic one shape then after that we did two shapes that we chose from a piece of paper. Now we are doing harder shapes like animals or nature. We cut out a shape at the bottom of a Square and stuck it to the top of the square and then traced it on the rest of the paper When the page was full we drew some eyes or a mouth on them. This is very fun because we get to color it in and chose our own shape.

This is the start of my picture.

Actions Stations day

This Tuesday we had an Action Stations Day. This means we had groups throughout the whole school doing different jobs. Our group had to go and tidy the school. The picture above is of us sorting out the rubbish we picked up. We counted all the rubbish on charts and I thought that plastic was going to be the most, I was right. I had to sort out metal including stuff like tin foil and chip packs, surprisingly there was a lot of metal rubbish. After doing this we went to the Hamanatua Stream and had lunch. We then walked along the beach back to school while picking up rubbish. The purpose of this was based on a quote 'Actions Speak Louder Than Words'. This means instead of just talking about doing something...do it! 

This was the rubbish that 

we collected at the school 

clean up all together.
