Drawing at Art Time

Today we were looking at Tapa Cloths and how these are created.  We looked at the patterns and designs on these.   Using this as a starting point, we created our own tapa inspired patterns using jovi crayon and black vivids.  We think we did a pretty amazing job!
Here are 6 of our creations so far...









Shop Day Today

This morning we had Shop Day.  The Year 6 children had stalls selling lollies, bracelets, cakes, fruit kebabs, sausages, playdough... as well as car rides, a water slide and horse rides... not to mention nail painting and hair chalking!
Team Toru had a fabulous time supporting this wonderful event!
