Travelling Water

    We took part in the Little Kitchen science experiments. We chose to look at travelling water and learned that when water moves from one place to another it is called capilliary action. It's the same thing that trees do when they draw water out of the ground and up their trunks into their leaves.

Blast off!

We are working towards making a movie based on our rockets and dioramas.
Anne showed us how to make a diorama of the planets.

First we made the planets out of newspaper and paste.

We cut the shoeboxes so they lay flat then we painted them black.

Here are our finished dioramas

We are putting the dioramas together so they can look like space.
They will be the backdrop for our movie.

We are putting up a black sheet to be the background for the dioramas.

The rockets will blast off from New Zealand, of course!

Stu Duval teaches us cartooning

Stu is a great storyteller. He showed us how to make cartoons frm letters and numbers.

The Kowhai team went to the hall to listen to Stu tell us stories and show us how to cartoon.

Stu taught us 'An S, two dots, a prickle and a line.' This makes a funny face.

Here is Stu making a face fropm a Z.

We had a go.

This is a dinosaur made form the number 5. Can you see the 5?

We showed Stu our sketches.
