Kane explains the colour wheel

Teagan and Jacob explain the colour wheel

Teagan and Jacob made a Google presentation on colours. These are the things you can find out on, primary colours, secondary colours, cool/warm colours, hue, complimentary colours and tints and shades. This activity followed on from our 'Starry Night' collaborative challenge.

 Room 9 were set a collaborative challenge. To be successful they needed to use their maths knowledge to help them create an enlarged reproduction of Van Gogh's 'Starry Night'. 


The image above shows what the real painting looks like. 






                                  

                                  




I think both teams successfully completed their collaborative challenge and Room 9 has a fabulous wall display as well.

This is his inside brochure of the book, Super Finn. There is a lot of interesting words and drama. There are 2 main characters. One always gets in trouble and the other one is a good boy.
