We used the patterns that we got from our museum trip to draw some pastel pictures. First we used pencil to draw the pattern. Then we put vivid over the lines. We were only meant to use up to 3 colours. We used pastels to colour our patterns in. The pastels make the colours look effective from a distance.

Museum Trip
On Monday Room 7 went to the museum in Napier. We learnt all about the art deco patterns. We got a sheet and we had to look around the museum for the answers to the questions. We walked around Napier looking at the art deco patterns.
We also learnt about the 1931 earthquake in Napier which was the reason that lots of building in Napier were rebuilt in the Art Deco style. One fact we learnt was how big on the richter scale the earthquake was. It was 7.9.
This was all part of our learning based on "Our Place".
