Piwakawaka's Self Portraits

Kia ora and welcome back to school! I hope you're all feeling refreshed after the break and are looking forward to an exciting term ahead. 

Room 1 have had a fantastic first week at school and I've been so impressed with the enthusiasm each student has shown towards their learning. 

Today we learnt about self portraits and decided to create our own. We started by doing some exercises to feel how big our necks and shoulders were in comparison to our heads. We then used mirrors and pencils to draw ourselves on paper. Finally, we traced over our pictures with black felts and coloured them in using crayons.

We are so proud of our pictures and have displayed them outside the classroom so everyone knows who the children are in Room 1.

Have a great long weekend and I can't wait to see you all again on Tuesday!
