Systems

During Terms 3 and 4 Wairakei School will be learning about SYSTEMS (especially in relation to visual art).  Later on we will be inquiring about the system involved in beautifying our school, and Room 12 will be taking on a special project.  Can't wait!

What is a system?  I hear you ask.  

A system is a set of rules, procedures or routines needed to complete a task.

Or in child speak: A system is the things you need to do, to get something done.

On Tuesday afternoon we discovered that there are systems involved in drawing.  We used some 'learn to draw' cards to learn how to draw things like penguins, Grinch, mice, dogs, cats, aliens and a lot more.  Each card had a set of instructions on it.  Room 12 loved doing this!  Have a look at how much they are concentrating...

Doesn't Adela's drawing look just like the Grinch?
