Japanese Kites

We made Japanese Fish Kites when we went to Japan for our culture swap. They are cool and bright hanging up in our classroom. We had to paint our kites and then fold and stuff them. Where are we going to next?!?!

Hieroglyphics

When we went toEgypt, we got to look at the writing style 'Hieroglyphics'. We were able to write our name in Hieroglypics. It was heaps of fun trying to write our name in a different way. It looks a lot different from how we write!

Aboriginal Art

This term we are looking at cultures and traditions from different countries around the world. We are having a syndicate wide culture swap where we are 'travelling' around to different countries. When we are 'travelling' to a different class/country we are learning some information from the different countries and then we are doing an art activity from that country. When we 'traveled' to Australia with Mrs Valois, we did some Aboriginal Art. They look awesome hanging up in our class. Keep an eye out for the other art that we have done from other countries as we go around them.

Cross Country

On Wednesday we had the school Cross Country. We had great weather for it and everyone was excited about running the course. We have been training for it al term and it was awesome to see the huge efforts that everyone put in and to see that the training had helped us!

Cory in our class came first for the year 4 boys and Eden came 6th for the year 4 girls.

Here are some photos of our day

Book Day

Last week it was book week at school. On Friday we had our character dress up day. It was heaps of fun seeing everyone in their different character costumes for the day. Even the teachers got dressed up. We had a parade in the hall for the morning where everyone went up on stage and prizes were awarded for the best dressed character.

ANZAC DAY

On Friday 25th April it is ANZAC Day. We will be on school holidays for this day, so we have made our poppies to help remember our ANZACs today. For those of you who don't know what ANZAC stands for it is Australian and New Zealand Amy Corps. Here is a photo of our poppies that we made for our class tribute.

Cushions in the Art Suite

On Wednesday we finished our cushions that we have been making in the Art Suite. They look fantastic!!! For our last session we had to sew them up and stuff them. A great big THANK YOU to our mums and grandmas that came in to help with the sewing! Here are some photos for you too see what great artists we are!
