First, we found a picture of a bird we liked and practiced drawing in in our art books.

When we were happy with our design, we traced it onto good paper. Some of us practiced dying our birds and some of us started practicing our background.With our birds, we had to blend the colours together.Some of us practiced our birds a lot and some of us didn't really need to practice at all. With our background, most of us only did one colour and the rest of us did two. We dyed our backgrounds with sponges and we flicked pure dye with mini paintbrushes. With our backgrounds, most of us bleached them by flicking bleach onto the backgrounds.

Book Week - Dress Up Day

Today was book day. We had to dress up as a book character from one of our favorite books.Some of us dressed up as characters from picture books and some dressed as people dressed from chapter books.Some of the characters were Pippy Long-stockings, Nancy Drew, Little Red Riding Hood, Mary and Happy Feet. After morning tea all the classes lined up for the book parade around the university drive. Every one had such cool costumes so Miss Cocks took pictures of the people that had dressed up in Room 3.

The day we (Room 3 children) made flags for a mass art installation for Christchurch...

"NZ artist Tiffany Singh, assisted by volunteers, will work in schools to develop a huge cluster of flags created by the children, expressing their hopes and dreams - one flag for themselves and one for the city of Christchurch. The flags will be stitched into strings in the manner of Tibetan prayer flags, with designs by the students interspersed with designs by the artist. The flags will then form a mass installation of colour and hope in the central city - close to the festival venue on the edge of the Arts Centre. 

What are the hopes and dreams of our children? What are their concerns for the future? Art has long been a vehicle across cultures for expressing people's dreams and prayers.  Tiffany Singh has developed a work that will extend its reach out into the communities of Christchurch, to collect and share these hopes and dreams in this large-scale public artwork. 

Help us bring fresh heart and soul to Christchurch. 

Festival director Philip Tremewan. says "You will love this large-scale community art-work which involves 2,000 Christchurch kids.  You will get huge satisfaction from seeing what it means to the students as they each make a flag to express their hopes and dreams for the future."

Room 3 children took part in a workshop on the last Friday of Term 2 and created flags based on their own hopes and dreams. Their flags will become part of the mass installation in Christchurch!

Please look at the photos of them creating these flags below.
