Exploration

We recorded our part of the 'Travelling Tale' and sent it off to America for the next class to find a resolution to the problem that we created. We can't wait to find out what the other two schools will do with the tale.

We have been learning about syllables and you can count them when you take a word apart, as well as sentences.

We have had a lot of fun counting how many syllables are in words and clapping it out.

All this work on syllables led us to a style of poetry called Haiku. We looked at the structure of a Haiku poem which has only 3 lines. Each line needs to have a certain number of syllables. The first line needs 5 syllables, the second line needs 7 syllables and the third line needs 5 syllables again. We went outside to get some inspiration for our poems. We listened to all the sounds happening around us and created some fantastic poems. These were posted to Seesaw for you to see.

We took a look at some artists that use light to create amazing pieces of art. We also took some time to look at 'Pop Art' by Andy Warhol and how he used such simple objects to create his work. We had a go at creating our own 'Pop Art' but each colour for us represented an emotion. These will be posted on Seesaw this week. They are very cool :-)

We also added music to our 'Pop Art' that expressed the colour/emotion we had chosen.

We also helped two of our friends celebrate their birthdays. A very happy birthday to Timo and Hifumi. Thanks so much for the delicious cupcakes and chocolates.

Looking forward to seeing you all at our G1 Spotlight on the Arts!

Hope you all had a great weekend!
