Poutama: Soft Materials

I never thought I would ever be making boxers but here I am today, in my Poutama class making big boxers that actually fit me and I can wear them at home or school.

Poutama

Every Wednesday morning, after fuel break we go to the Poutama Center. The Poutama Center has four rooms which have Sewing, I.C.T, Cooking and Hard Materials lessons. We share our Poutama time with Kea 2. We are split into our four groups which are Sewing (Yr7 Huia 2), Cooking (Yr8 Huia 2),  I.C.T (Yr8 Kea 2) and Hard Materials (Yr7 Kea 2). This term, the year 7's in the Sewing room have started creating boxer shorts and the year 8's in the Cooking room are having fun becoming chefs. In the Hard materials Room, the Kea 2 Year 7's are making pewter jewellery and for ICT, the Kea 2 year 8's are planning a Keynote presentation on Keeping Ourselves Healthy - making the right choices.We all are enjoying and looking forward to the next few weeks in Poutama.

Pavlova




This morning in Huia 2, after Mrs Irwin read out the roll, we were able to try some of the delicious Pavlova that she had bought for us. We did this because after break,we had to do a writing test - 'writing to describe' and we described what a pavlova is.

Castaway Book

This term, we are reading a book called "Castaway" written by Bill O'Brien. It is a good written book and the events in this book is based on real historical facts.

This is our art that is going to be in the art competition. We sketched sneakers and then coloured a background. Doesn't it look great!!

Backgrounds for our shoe sketches

We are sketching and shading trainers to enter into the Bag Arts Competition. The picture is of the backgrounds that will form the mounts for the sketches.
