Learn 2 Ride

We had a great first day of Learn 2 Ride. Watch out for Ngawai!!!

Starting our study.

Today we started looking at the arts. We did a small inquiry on five important periods in art history. We looked The Renaissance, Cubism, Pop Art, Impressionism and Art Nouveau. It was great watch Room 7 work so well together and explore these important 'styles' of art and a little of the history behind them.

This term we will look at Cubism and Pop Art.

Welcome back!!!

I am really looking forward to this term. We are going to have a lot of fun exploring the performing and visual arts.
