Bubblegum Designs

We have had an awesome opportunity to design new bubblegums for Brian. The winning designs might actually get produced in China and go into the shops. AMAZING! Everyone had lots of fun thinking up delicious, interesting, revolting, hilarious and weird flavours and combinations. It was a lot of fun. We learnt a lot about the things you have to consider when designing a new product; flavour, colour, the inside, the outside, originality of the idea, no TV or celebrity  names, etc. Thanks Brian for a great opportunity we hope you enjoy reading and considering our designs. We are looking forward to hearing who the winners are.

Everyone has a thank you goodie bag of lollies to take home tonight. Enjoy eating them over the holidays. I wonder if anyone can make them last the whole 2 weeks?

Sonia Delaunay Calendar Art

We have been using the art of Sonia Delaunay as inspiration for our calendars this year.  We've used lots of shapes especially circles and contrasting colours to create some awesome original artworks of our own. Check them out! Next term order forms will be coming home for calendars, cards and diaries.

 Mr Higginson brought a great experiement to school where we could test our lung capacity. It was lots of fun to see how hard we could blow on the tube and how large our lung capacity was.
We are learning about fitness and how our bodies work as part of our term 2 inquiry.

Graduation 2012

I have had a special week this week graduating with a post graduate diploma from Massey Universtiy. Over the last few years it has involved a lot of hard work and late nights studying. It was great to pop in and visit Wonderous One and share my special day with them. I hope they all remember if you want something set a goal, work hard and anything is possible.
