Trip to the Symphony

The Kowhai Team went to Founders Theatre to see a symphony orchestra.

 

 

The bus trip was a lot of fun.

Back at school, Ms Danils invited her good friends Mr and Mrs Stokes to school.

They are musicians. 

Mrs Stokes plays the clarinet and Mr Stokes plays the cello.

We had a lot of fun having a turn playing the cello

 

 

 

Monarch butterflies

Room 13 has a close relationship with the butterfly garden. Ms Daniels brought some of the caterpillars and chrysalis's inside in term two because it was getting cold and wet. Maybe the caterpillars would have a better chance of turning into butterflies if they were inside the classroom.

Well, they did, and here is some art inspired by the beautiful butterflies.

First we drew a butterfly in pencil

Then we enlarged our sketches and used creative paint to make a raised outline in black.

We cut out our butterflies

...then painted them with dye
