Butterfly Art

We created these art works with a variety of media.  First we looked at lots of photos of butterfies and sketched some to gather our ideas.  Next we created our own butterfly shapes and added patterns in a symmetrical design.  Then we dyed the butterflies and used vivid to outline our shapes and patterns.  Our backgrounds were made with paint using brushes, rollers and sponges.
You can find the individual art works for viewing and printing on the school website - click here.

Xavier's Grass Man

Xavier made this grass man at PINs with Miss Vidal.  He has watered it at home and brought it back to show us just how well it is growing.

Chan Yu's Walk

Chan Yu and his family went for a walk to Nihotupu Dam In the Waitakere Ranges as one of his home learning challenges.  He enjoyed the challenge and was scared and excited when he saw the dam.  What do you know about the Nihotupu Dam?  Click here if you want to know more about this walk.
