Art

We begun our art inquiry this week by exploring some of the artwork by Friedensreich Hundertwasser. The children shared what they noticed about the paintings and his use of colour, shape and organic lines.

We then explored creating their own dreamscapes.















Swimming and building whanaungatanga

Today was our last day of swimming and the children had a session with the instructors on water safety. 






 

The children have loved their sessions at the pool and have also enjoyed the bus rides. We have been trying to sit with a different bus buddy every day to encourage whanaungatanga.

Mihi Whakatau

 This morning we all came together as a school to welcome our new families and students to Halswell School. Our wonderful Kapa Haka performed too. It was the first time that we have come together this year. It was very exciting.
