Oshin: Kiwiana Tomato Sauce Bottle

 

I made this tomato sauce bottle. We were learning about Kiwiana. It was very hard to make. Mr O'Brien blew up the balloon for us and then we put pieces of newspaper around our balloon. We used glue to stick the newspaper on to the balloon. We glued 3 layers of newspaper. We painted the balloon red with our paintbrush. We created leaves and top and glued them on top of the balloon so that it looks like a tomato sauce bottle.

Steven: Kiwiana Tomato Sauce Bottle

 

I like my tomato sauce bottle because I worked very hard. I enjoyed doing the paper mache. It was a lot of fun. We got our hands all gooey and that was the fun part of making the bottle.  I like to open and close the top. It was enjoyable.

Novi: Kiwiana Tomato Sauce Bottle

 I liked painting the tomato sauce bottle red and cutting the green paper leaves and top. I covered my hands with red paint and put my hands on the bottle so that there weren't any white spots on the bottle. I liked making the leaves the most. I made two leaf tops, one for me and one for JJ because he wasn't at school.

Mele: Kiwiana Tomato Sauce Bottle

 

I enjoyed making the leaves and the top. I had to roll the paper to make the top and I used glue to hold the paper down. I loved painting my tomato sauce bottle. We used balloons and Mr O'Brien helped us blow up the balloons. We used newspaper and glue to stick the newspaper pieces around the balloon.

Visual Arts: Buzzy Bee Part 1

Room 3 tamariki are learning about Kiwiana. 

Kiwiana is anything that makes us who we are as New Zealanders. One of the most famous and popular New Zealand toy is Buzzy Bee. It is a pull along wooden toy that makes a clickety-clackety sound. We watched a video on Buzzy Bee and then we began our drawing, thinking about the different shapes that we could see on Buzzy Bee, such as circles and ovals, and the interesting colours on the toy. 

Here is part 1 of our drawing of Buzzy Bee.
