International Shared Feast!!!

Wow - what a way to finish our Term 4 Culture Club inquiry!
On Friday 7 December MLH held an international shared lunch which also meant we presented information about our chosen countries, bought the national dish of that country along AND dressed up in national costumes!

We had nearly 80 people in the hall - many whanau and friends came to participate... calling it the best feast ever!

We had to find out these things about our chosen countries
- the meaning of the flag and national anthem
-a famous person
- a landmark
- the national dish
- the national dress
and any other interesting information we found out.

We had some double ups of countries, however, we presented on 27 different countries!!

Awesome Animal Mosaic Art!

Wow - check out this amazing art from our Year 5s!

Firstly:
- we created graffiti art on A3 size paper using crayon and pastel
- then we did a wash of dye over the top

Then:
- we ripped the paper up!!!!!!
- we put it all in a pile in the middle to SHARE

Then:
- we created our animals fur/feathers by placing similar colours together and arranging them until we were happy with what we saw
- we used pva glue to make sure it stuck well

After that:
- we researched our chosen animals eye
- we discovered that eyes are not just one colour!
- we had lots of fun recreating the eyes using pastel
- we learnt that the white spot that makes the eye POP is actually a reflection

We are so proud of our work!!!
