Author Study

- July 29, 2019

This term the junior school are doing a NZ author study. Each week we will be looking at some New Zealand authors and reading their books. This week Room 19 were focusing on Lynley Dodd who wrote the famous Hairy Maclary books. Here is some of the kids responses to characters in her books. Hercules Morse is my favourite dog from the books because he is the giant of the team because he is fat. Hercules Morse is the fattest dog who jumps up high from Scarface Claw because he is so scared of him. By Roman Schnitzel von Krum is my favourite dog from the books because he is like the shape of a sausage. He is little and funny because his tummy can nearly touch the ground and he has got short, little legs that can’t jump very high. By Monty Hercules Morse is my favourite dog from the books because he is gigantic like a big horse. He can run very fast like a car and he is the biggest dog of the group. By Juni Slinky Malinky is sneaky at night time. He is a thief....

Art Exibition 2017 "Taniwha in the Moana"

- August 14, 2017

This year Room 19 focused on using mixed media to complete their pieces of art to tie in with the BLUE theme at school. First we explored shading and blending with paint on corrugated cardboard. We wanted to create some real life like waves. Next we used pastel to draw our taniwha and coloured them in. We had to go over the outline with black indian ink to make them stand out. Next we had to cut out the waves to make it look like the real moana. The last step was to use coloured tissue paper to collage our sun set background. Viola there you have it. Our masterpiece is now complete!
