Graffiti art

Over the past 2 weeks we have been studying the artist Banksy! He is an artist from Europe and does lots of street art that uses the envorment to share messages around political and social issues. He uses silhouette images with a bit of added colour in his paintings! Here is some art inspired by Banksy that we have created about pet day! This is what they turned out like ⬇️

Pet day 2015

On Wednesday the 21st we had pet day! Pets started arriving at 12:00pm and getting sorted into their places. We had to stay with our pets all day because judging started 1:00. Then we had a parade where everyone showed off their pets before all the winners were announced. Overall everyone had a great day and the day went well.

Drink Driving - By Ally

For Inquiry, I looked into Drink driving. This involved researching, questioning and A LOT of editing. This took me four days to work on, and complete! Below, you can find my slide on Drink Driving. I have also made a Pic Collage of Drink Driving, and a small iMovie trailer, presenting how drink driving is bad.

Bubble writing

Today, the senior room did bubble writing for our Banksy Artist study unit. We followed instructions on how to write bubble letters step by step, then we did our names. It was really fun.

Safety inquiry! - By Emma

Last term we looked into safety as a class before splitting off into our own individual projects. We each chose a type of safety before thinking of a question we'd like to dig deeper with. I chose transport/car safety and my main questions were 'why is 16 the legal age to gain a drivers license?' And 'why do vest only com in yellow and orange?' I made a slideshow displaying all the research I had done on one of my questions and then I 'took action' by writing a letter to John Key to change the legal driving age to 18.

Safety slides!!

My inquiry was about water safety. I looked at rips and currents and how to keep safe around them. I wrote a letter to kaka point lifeguards to ask them why there weren't lifeguards on every beach, then made a slide and a pow-toon. Below is my slide on Rips and Currents. By Lucy

My inquiry focused on Internet safety and bullying. I looked at how we can stop cyber bullying and how we can enjoy the Internet without being worried. I then made a Google Slide, Pic Collage and a Pow-toon. Below is my Slide. By Taylor

I inquired about farm safety and focusing on quad safety and tips on farming. I made a poster, Google slide and a sign to put up around the school so that people are aware of why we have rules on farms. Below is my Slide with tips on how to stay safe! 

Motorbike Safety - By Brayden

For my Inquiry I looked at  motorbike safety and why there are so many rules involved these days. I believe there are too many rules and I decided I would give you some of my own safety tips. 

                                      

What is the safest dishwashing liquid - By Sam

In term 3 I inquired into dishwashing liquid and what the safest kind is to use. I began by asking my classmates what kind of dishwashing liquid they use and found that most people use finish tablets. I then researched what the safest kind is and have found out that Eco auto dishwashing tablets are the safest dishwashing substance to use.
