I Am Learning To create a wearable piece of art

Wearable Art Showcase 

For the past 2 terms, Room 10 and 11 have been learning about Space. We have been exploring the different planets and the galaxy. We decided for our wearable art piece that we would make galaxy skirts and capes with the planets on it. 

We learnt many different art techniques such as water colouring, flicking of paint, dabbing of paint and blending colours together. It was a long process but are all very proud of the final product!

- Being careful and taking our time when wheeling on the track.

Responsibility: Be prepared for the day

- Remembering what day Wheels Day was. 

- Bringing our wheels as well as our safety gear. 

Resilience: Participate in a new experience at EPS

- Ask for help from a teacher or friend if we had trouble with our wheels. 

- Try our best by wheeling safely around others.

We Are Learning To identify and read contractions

"We are learning about contractions and apostrophes. Contractions are two words joined together with an apostrophe. It was tricky to read the words with an apostrophe and find the two words. It was easy to do some words like I'm because I could find the two words easy."

In this piece of writing, we shared our favourite part about ourselves. We also thought about why it was our favourite part.
