Creating Origami

Origami is the art of paper folding, which is often associated with Japanese culture. In modern usage, the word origami. Its used as an inclusive term for all folding practices, regardless of their culture of origin. We are creating things like a waka, love heart, bird and the hardest of all Iris.

Weaving

On Friday we got to make baskets.
The things you'll need is scissors, glue, three different coloured papers, ruler and pencil.
The first step is to measure three centimetres wide to get eight long stripes with two coloured papers. 
Then weave with the stripes, glue paper together.
Next step is to make four stripes with another paper. 
The next step is to make two long pieces to make two square then weave.
Make one one more for the handle to hold the basket.
This was my final result.

ANZAC Poppies

On 25th April 2015, it was the 100th anniversary of ANZAC soldiers landing at Gallipoli. We learnt lots of things about life and war for the ANZAC soldiers when we visited Auckland Museum in April. We created poppies, we have written poems and letters about ANZAC and World War 1.

I created this picture of ANZAC poppies with crayon and dye.

Yummy Green Pizza!!!

We are learning about fractions this term.  To remember and think about what we already know, we made sausage roll and pizza with clay. We divided our shapes into fractions.  Each piece was the same size. Then, we made some pizza toppings for a whole pizza.  We shared them out on our pizza.  Each quarter of my pizza had the same number of toppings.
