Sketching

Sketching In the weekend at dad's, I drew a big tree with six snakes wrapped around the branches. I drew a small tree but a long snake on it. Dad helped me to draw a snake wrapping around a tree branch and now if kids want a tattoo I can do the snakes on their arms. i might be a tattooist when I'm older. Dylan Case.

Leading Light Award

On Friday at assembly I got the Leading Light Award for my first time and I was very proud of myself. I got the Leading Light for sharing the ball when we were playing Poison Ball at lunchtime. I shared with Tamzin, if she tries to get the ball and doesn't, she cries. By Cody Stringer 6 years old and 7 on September the 10th

Exhibition of Fish Prints at Guyton's Fish Shop

Do go and see our exhibtion of prints at Guyton's Haven Road Fish Shop. Rob Sharland arranged for the children to exhibit their artworks in the shop. We included some photos of the children and the fish Rob sent along for motivation. Rueben wrote the thank you letter. Fish Prints by St Vincent Room at Auckland Point School

Our class are learning to make prints, we did fruit, vegetable, name and fish prints. When we needed some fish, we went down to Guytons Fish Shop to see Rob the Champion filleter. Rob said, “ What kind of fish do you need?” I said, “Flat fish we can print”. So Rob went into his gutting room and found some flounder, 2 arrow squid, 2 gurnard, a red perch fish and 1 big fat long fish, I think it was a hoki fish. We painted the fish and then put paper over the top and put pressure and massaged the fish. We were very pleased with our fish prints. We printed fish dinner prints, some of the kids did chips too. Thank you Rob for the fish.

Shane the plumber

St Vincent room has had a leaky tap for a long time. Today Shane came to fix it for us. He put on a brand new tap that doesn't leak like the old one and Judi is going to test it to see if it works.

Reading Rocks

Yesterday we went to Nelson Intermediate to watch Adrian"s show called Reading Rocks and I was in the front row with Matariki. Adrian juggled balls  on a stcik.  He rode a unicycle with a big boy on his shoulders. We laughed and laughed. Dylan

Fish Prints

We could chose a fish.  I chose a flounder fish.

We painted the fish with paint.  Then we massaged the fish and the paper. When it was painted with yellow and blue and green I lifted the paper and I saw a reflection. Jaz

Our fish print.

First the whole class chose their fish, then we painted the fish.  The class carefully covered the fish with paper then we massaged the paper. It was fun.  I put the fish print on the piece of paper.  Then I did the big reveal.  I lifted the paper and the print was on the other side. I liked my flounder. I hope we do it again.

First we painted fish.  My fish is yellow and blue.
