Term 3 - Week 1

First Week with Miss Cookson!
I have loved my first week here at Muritai School! I am very lucky to be working with a class full of excited and energetic learners. It has been lovely to meet some parents and family members of the children in Room 3 this week. We all have so much to look forward to - I'm very happy to be on the journey with you!



Visual Art: Jane and the Dragon

We have been reading Jane and the Dragon, written and illustrated by Martin Baynton. We thought the dragon in the story was cool, so we used our imaginations to create our own dragon artwork. We are learning to create layers in art at the moment, so we...
  • drew our dragons using colourful pastels
  • glued them on the black paper
  • decorated the wings with sequins
  • stapled the wings onto the dragon's body.
The layers in our fantastic dragons really make it look like they are flying! The children in Room 3 are such wonderful artists!
