Wire Sculpture STEAM Challenge

We have been working hard over the last 3 weeks to design and create wire sculptures to hang in our classroom tree. We found it wasn't as easy as it looked and needed to overcome many challenges. Hannah and Jasmine show their learning journey below.

Brain Matters

Our artwork comes from the idea we can grow our brains. After a discussion about this, we were inspired to create a zentangle hiding symbols of how we learn and what motivates our learning. 

Room 10s Being the Best We Can be Tree

We created our BTBWCB bees using polystyrene eggs, a spot of paint, plastic spoons and pipe cleaners. We the thought of one word that best describes us. We are love how it all came together. 

We Dare to Imagine

To kick off 2016, Room 10 watched the following Tedtalk by Nano Girl and have been inspired to use our imagination to dare to be who we want to be.



We are working to set goals for the year and discovering who we are and who we strive to be. Watch this space! Our new learning will be shared with you soon.

Inspired By Marcus Winter

Room 11 has been busy getting ready to Skype Marcus winter this week. We are very excited to be talking to him. As  a part of our learning, we have been giving sand art a go.

Luke's Way of Looking, Authors: Nadia Wheatley and Matt Ottley

We have been reading Luke's Way of Looking for our shared book, a book about a boy who has a passion for art and discovers there are actually people just like him in the World. 

Our views:

Jennifer: I thought the artwork was creative, I especially liked the way some of the pictures were based on famous artists.

Shelley: At the beginning the pictures had no colour, as the story went on, the pictures got brighter and brighter as Luke got happier.

Somi: I liked how I learnt about famous artist's different styles. It told us not to give up on our dreams and to follow them.

Kuini-Marnie: I found the book to be inspiring because Luke used his imagination and that taught me to follow in his footprints. It also showed us, that we should never give up.

Adam: The book was creative because it showed me everyone has different passions for different things and that's ok.

Bailey: I found the book interesting because I found there were many different artists in the world.

  The art work in the story is inspired by famous artists like Picaso and J Pollock. We decided to have a go ourselves.
