Miranda Jane Caird art

At school we have been talking to Miranda Jane Caird. She is a famous New Zealand artist and has made many different pieces of art over her career. Her art inspired us to try and mimic her style in our own art. We used pastel colour mixing and black dye to create our pictures. Here is my picture and one of Miranda's side by side.

Refugee wk5 raft investigation

This term we are reading the book Refugee. In the book one of the characters "Isabel" and her family are heading from Cuba to Miami using a homemade raft. So we created a raft out of plastic bottles, egg cartons, cans, skewers and paper. I think we did pretty well with the planning and creation of the boat and the final product meet our expectations of it floating and sailing at speed.

Autobiography poem

In class did an autobiography about us and the things we love, where we want to go, where we live and so much more. Our teacher Miss J thought it was a good idea to get to know each other so we can work together better and most importantly brighten up our empty walls!
