We have been learning about abstract art. It’s all about creating works of art that don’t actually look like anything. We focused on the American artist Frank Stella, who liked to make pictures using shapes like circles, triangles and rectangles.
Here is my work:
On Friday, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation. This week Mrs Craig Read the book: Wombat Stew. It was about a dingo who caught a wombat and tried to make wombat stew. But, it didn’t work because he didn't finish the recipe that's why it was yuck.
I chose to make a trap to catch a wombat without hurting it and make a piece of writing/recipe here they are.

For the last two weeks we have been learning about different kinds of poetry for reading and writing. I decided to publish this poem. It is a shape poem.
On Friday, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation. This week Mrs Craig Read the book: Maui and the sun.
It was about the Maori myth which explains how/why the sun moves across the sky.
I chose to do a picture about the book.
In Week 7 of Term 3, we did Play Make Create. This is where the teacher reads you a story and you discuss the message in the story. Then you create something based on the message and also do a piece of writing. You can use materials or make a digital creation. This week Mrs Craig Read the book: Tidy
It was about a badger that was too tidy.
I chose to do a poster to do about some ways to show how I care about the environment and an apology letter to the forest and the animals.
Here they are:

This week we carried on with our ‘insect’ topic for reading, writing, handwriting and art. For maths we worked on writing a variety of equations which would have a certain number for the answer. We also practised solving problems using place value or known facts knowledge. Here is a selection of my work:
Because we were using ‘Insects’ as a topic this week for reading and writing we created some insects but I didn't get to finish my art so my little sister and I made our own scenery.
Here is a photo of my creation:
