Conservation Week

It is Conservation Week.  
This year the challenge is to show how much you love New Zealand.
People all across the country celebrate our native wildlife, natural areas
and the places that are part of our history,
by joining in conservation events and activities.
They share their photos on
Take a look at our wonderful country.

We had an art competition in our school.  
We could create any picture or photo showing our school environment
We wanted to draw Mother Duck.
First we sketched her, 
looking carefully at her feathers, the shape and colours.
Then we drew and coloured her.
We used 3 different browns to show her feathers.

Hamilton artist Catherine Houston came to school to judge all the pictures and photos entered.
Guess who won prizes?
Yay! Go girls!

What a great prize to take home and watch grow!

  1. Hi Room 16 We have been trying to find your school using Google Maps but we haven't had much luck. Could you please let us know what your school address is? That might help us to locate you.

  2. Wow! Room 16 we think you did really great artwork. We think your ducks are shaded really well. I really like Namrata's picture the best. I like the shape of her duck. She is a beautiful artist.

  3. Hi Hamilton East School Room 16. I like the way your ducks are brown and white. I think you're fantastic artists. Did the ducks have eggs underneath them?

  4. Hi Hamilton East School.

    Did you know that the All Blacks won? When the All Blacks were playing France, I was saying "Go All Blacks!" and they won! I was saying "Yay!" when they won.

    I think the All Blacks are going to win the Rugby World Cup this year. If they do win, I will be so happy!

    I like your blog because you have lots of lovely ducks. I like your blog because your ducks are in different places. They all look like ducks.

    I like the way that you have put countries and then put their time underneath them. When we put our mouse on the times they change to the date. It is so cool that we can see other peoples' times.

  10. Mrs McKenzie what are you doing to your class to have so many talented artists! I love ALL the artwork you have done around Mother Duck Room 16. I think Room 14 should come for an art gallery visit to your classroom to see your beautiful work.
