Kowhai class would like to share some of their learning with you over Term 1 2019.
We have been learning to write persuasive texts. They are trying to convince you which art form was the best way to express yourself. Read their arguments and then you can decide!
My favourite art form is drawing. Drawing is the best because you can draw things that aren’t real. You can use any colour. It looks like it’s real but it’s not. You can use different types of pens.
It is so fun. By Tyla
My favourite art form is painting. You can use little brush strokes to show light and dark and movement in the water.

You get to twirl and dance and jump.

My favourite art form is music.
Music is the best because you get to listen to all different music.
Music is the best because you can play different kinds of music.
You can play ‘The Wind and the Sun’. The wind is really loud. The sun is really calm. Butterfly Fly Away is very calm too. What Does the Fox Say is very loud.
Music makes me feel happy.
