Year 4 Camp Action!

Keep watching for other photos to be uploaded....

The Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle

We read The Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle.  After,  we discussed the illustrations in the book.  They were created by using collage.  We used collage techniques to create our own butterfly.   We tried different colour combinations, different materials and layering to make our butterflies eye catching.  I think they have succeeded.....Tau ke (Awesome) Room 4!

Fantail Nests

We have created Fantail Nests.  The nests are made out of shredded paper, grass and glue.  The Fantail is made from 2 newspaper balls, card and ice-block sticks.  We remembered that fantails have 12 fans on their tails.  I think they are very creative.  Well done, R4!

Bird Eggs

Jorja and Aidan brought in two different types of bird nests.  After discussing the differences and how they were made, we made clay eggs to put inside the nest...

Room 4's great helpers...

We made NZ Maori Cloaks today and feathers went everywhere!!  Thanks to these wonderful helpers - the room was sparkling again.  (Parents: This proves they can vacuum!)  Watch the blog next term for our magical Maori cloaks....
