ANZAC: Field of Poppies Painting

Our tamariki created a field of poppies to remember the soldiers who fought in the first World War. They used a paintbrush to create the poppies and then used their fingers to create the sky and the sandy beach of Gallipoli where most of our soldiers died. 

Fruits

Our tamariki drew their favourite fruit sitting on a table using pastels. Some used real fruit to create their drawing while others used their imagination and knowledge of what their favourite fruit looked like. 

Watercolour Easter Egg

 
To celebrate Easter last week our tamariki created a watercolour Easter Egg by designing patterns on their egg and finishing their decoration with two different colours that merge in the middle.
