Our technology assignment was to make a box car that would be raced against others in week 2 of Term 3.
Here are some pictures:

Term 1

Hello,
In term 2 we drew portraits by sketching them and then we coloured over that with blue or green crayon and white. Ideally, this artwork style was designed to be done by high school students so we thought we did pretty well.
here are a few of the best:

Milking before Dawn poem

Here is a poem that our class related to after visiting a farm recently.

Milking Before Dawn

In the drifting rain the cows in the yard are as black
And wet and shiny as rocks in an ebbing tide
But they smell of the soil, as leaves lying under trees
Smell of the soil, damp and steaming, warm.
The shed is an island of light and warmth, the night
Was water-cold and starless out in the paddock.

Crouched on the stool, hearing only the beat
The monotonous beat and hiss of the smooth machines,
The choking gasp of the cups and rattle of hooves,
How easy to fall asleep again, to think
Of the man in the city asleep; he does not feel
The night encircle him, the grasp of mud.

But now the hills in the east return, are soft
And grey with mist, the night recedes, and the
The earth as it turns towards the sun is young
Again, renewed, its history wiped away
Like the tears of a child. Can the earth be young again
And not the heart?
Let the man in the city sleep.

Term 3 Topic - Wearable Arts

This term we are doing Wearable Arts. This involves groups making a piece of 'Wearable Art' out of recyclable materials. The art must represent an aspect of our class' specific topic which is 'NZ's major export industries- eg. Agriculture, Tourism, Silviculture, Viticulture, Horticulture, Fishing and Comalco Aluminium. Our 'Wearable Art' has to tell the story of the industry - eg. Silviculture: from growing the trees to felling them, then making the specific timber products - construction wood, wood chips, paper etc. plus any adverse side-effects of the industry.It HAS to be 'wearable art' - NOT just a costume.
