Van Gogh Sunflowers

 In Te Arai we have been studying Van Gogh as part of our WOW work.  

After learning about Van Gogh's famous Sunflowers painting, we thought we'd create our own.  And we had so much fun.

Our examples are from Israel and Tylah and Iharaira.

We made them by:

1.  Planned our work.

2.  Used fabric and plaster of paris to cover the bottle that was cut in half.

3.  We painted our backing board using metallic paint.

4.  Painting our bottles.

5.  Choose our medium (paint, pastel etc)

6. Drawing sunflowers using our medium.

7. Hot glued our bottles onto our backing board.

See if you can make some yourself!

Forklift Hold

Kia ora koutou,
In Te Arai in Week 5 we started learning about being Cybersmart.  First we learned about how to carry our Chromebook to keep it safe.  We talked about how we look after our pets and how this is kind of like looking after our Chromebooks.  When we pick up our cats or dogs, we usually hold them gently under their belly.

When we carry our Chromebooks, we lift them in a Forklift Hold.  This keeps the Chromebook safe from falling.  Here are some of our slides showing our Forklift Holds.  How do you carry your Chromebook to keep it safe?
