Using Newspapers to make Paper Bags

 

By Howick Intermediate Satellite

We made paper bags out of newspapers and supermarket flyers.

We had to follow 5 simple steps

1. Have paper lying  flat on the table.

2. Fold the open side “in” then “out” both sides.

3. Glue down the open side.

4. Fold the attached side in 2 different directions.

5.Fold the bottom twice in the same direction.

 

 

Middle Cluster - SPEC Open Day

SPEC Day – Middle Cluster

On 4^th of July we had our SPEC day.  It was great to see our display and have our parents there to see it all.

We also managed to look at other class displays and they were all fantastic.

Riverhills compost was amazing.

The Sylvia Park X –factor was great. The wonderful acts were brilliant!!!!

We also learnt a lot on how to plant trees from Edgewater College.

iPad thank you from Sommerville

Hubbards have kindly given Sommerville an iPad to use after a member of the public nominated us to receive one.  

Room 11 at Sylvia Park and some other classes at school helped Shelz to put together a video to thank Hubbards and to show the many uses we have for iPads!

Room 10's Maori Masks

Room 10 at Base have been working on making Maori masks for their topic – NZ Cultures with Gabrielle.

These photos show the process the children went through in the creation of their masks. Visit the Room 10 class blog to see more about our learning.

Anchorage Park's Maori Pendants

Room 2, Anchorage Park Satellite

When we studied the Cultures of New Zealand topic we made Maori Pendants during art.
The Maori symbols we used were the Koru, the Fishhook, and the Pikorua. The Pikorua is the traditional symbol for friendship and growth and represents cultures growing together.
We practised rolling and making shapes with playdough before we used the clay.
We used photos of the Maori Symbols we were focusing on to help us form the clay to get the right
shape.
We let the clay dry before we painted it.
We practised plaiting with wool but it was too hard for us to plait the flax for the necklace so Carol
did it.
Our results are fantastic! Visit the Room 2 class blog to see more about our learning.
