Stage 3 Space night sky

Stage 3 was adding the stars. This is called splatter. We had to be careful that no paint went on our uniforms. We hit one paintbrush onto other paintbrush and the little drops splattered onto the paper. We used white paint and silver paint. Each person's work looks different.

Working hard with the ladybirds

The ladybird puzzle has letters on one side and a picture on the other side. Jahral and Keanu worked together to complete all the pieces.

Stage 2 - Blue

The second stage is adding the blue colour. This time we use a sponge roller. We got some dark blue, light blue and black onto the roller. This time we needed to roll lightly to get the pattern.

Poetry

Each week we illustrate the weekly poem in our Poetry books. Miss Wards demonstrates how to do this on the whiteboard. First we need to work on the big shapes, then the small shapes and lastly on the details.

Artwork

During Term Three we are working hard to create an artwork for the Dawson Primary Art Festival.
Here is Sylvester working on the first step of rollering the paper solid colour.n We had to try get the paint over the whole roller and then we could roll the colour onto the paper.

Getting excited

Miss Wards was excited when she saw the pieces of our park had returned. She wondered what the new spider web would look like.

Who is this?

Miss Wards was worried when Batman came to school. She was OK once he was unmasked.

Duck, duck, goose

The coach taught Room 4 how to play the game Duck, Duck, Goose.
 It is fun racing the person back into the spot.

Doctor Mathew

Mathew enjoys coming on duty with Miss Wards. He is the doctor, carrying the medical kit.

Junior playground

Yay the base has gone down. Soon we will be able to play on the park again.

Happy Birthday, LaDainian!

Caught being good

Each fornight at Junior Assembly each teacher is only allowed to choose two children Caught being Good. This week from Room 4 it was Payton and Sarah.

Our assembly

In July it was Room 4's turn to lead Junior School assembly. We were amazing. Each person in the class held up a flag and said a greeting from that country and then introduced themselves.

 

We read some of the poems that we had learned in class. We also showed the video we had made to encourage the New Zealand team at the Olympics.

Junior Playgrond

We are waiting patiently for the Junior Playground to be resurfaced. The tile have been lifted and then the men will add more cushioning underneath to keep us safe when we are playing on the park.

Working with the Counties Manukau coaches

Here we are working on catching rugby balls.

Learning to write words

We are learning to write words.

Dental Van

The Dental Van came to Dawson School. Our class went to see inside the van so that we knew what happened in the van. Arianny sat in the special chair and the Dental Therapist looking inside her mouth. She got to wear some sunglasses so that the bright light did not hurt her eyes.
