What's Been Happening in Te Moana Wēta?
Te Moana Wēta have been busy learning about Geometric Shapes. They have been investigating nets of 3D shapes, measuring and constructing angles and finding the circumference of circles. We are able to construct and find the volume of rectangular prisms.
We integrated our Maths investigation with Visual Arts, and looked at how modern abstract artists used geometric shapes in their paintings. We took inspiration from Sonia Delaunay and the children created some bright, brilliant geometric art responses.
We made geometric art inspired by Sonia Delaunay. We were discovering how she explored relationships between colour and shapes. We used lots of different shapes and colours to make our art pop. She drew things but drew them in abstract. I decided to do triangles.

Budding Script Writers!
Te Moana Wēta have been channelling their creative energy and have written some fantastic scenes for their classmates to act out. They have focused on dialogue and stage directions, and have used bold print and italics to help the actors read the lines as we intended. . Here are some great examples!
