Community As Home - Visual Art Project

As part of our Year 4-8 Visual Art Cultural Group  over the past term, we have been 'Learning, Creating, Sharing' together to complete three final designs that will be on display at Keri Downs Park in Papakura by mid December 2016. 

Check out the slideshow below to see the different stages of the project... 

We will add the photo's of the A2 sized signs once they're up, too!

Learning: Our Wanderings About the Amazon Rain Forest in Brazil

This week, we had a KWL discussion about some of the non-human creatures we might find in the tropical rain forest around the 2016 Olympics city of Rio, Brazil...

Here is some of what we already know:
“It is in South America, in the same country as Rio, Brazil. There are anacondas - a huge snake - and piranhas in it. There are crocodiles, and poison frogs - they are blue and orange and red.” ~ Travis
“The proper name for a jungle is a rain forest.” ~ Sharlotte
“There is a type of big cat called a jaguar that lives in the Amazon.” ~ Aaliyah
“There is another cat called a puma that lives in South America.” `~ Ngatokoa

We look forward to sharing our independent research Google Slide efforts with you on our individual blogs later this term! :-)
