Ko wai au? Who am I?

As part of our inquiry unit and focus on Turangawaewae the learners of Room 16 have been making self portraits to be displayed in the classroom. 

Learners sketched themselves using a mirror and then outlined in sharpie. Next they chose two colours to paint with, focusing on long smooth brush strokes. Lastly they added vinyl dots to highlight certain areas. 

Our inspiration for this are was Roy Lichtenstein. Check out his work and tell us how we did! 

Welcome to Akomanga 16

 Kia ora ngā whānau,

Welcome to Room 16! I am so looking forward to getting to know your beautiful children this year. We had a great start yesterday, learning about each other and some of our favourite things. We took a walk around the school and sketched the beautiful oak tree. The learners have already shown how great they are at sketching, using their "look, draw, look" skills.
