Paparore School Pet Day

We had our first Paparore School Pet Day yesterday and it was a huge success. There was so much excitement around the school leading up to the day. Each class was bustling with artistic creativity and the students were so excited about bringing their different pets to school or seeing their friend’s pets.

There was a Pet Photo Competition, Soft Toy Competition, Small Pets (indoor), Dogs and Livestock. On the day there was an absolute variety of pets on display from skinks to rabbits to birds inside and dogs, calves, lambs and even a goat outside. It was a flurry of activity and so much enjoyment for all.

Congratulations to all our well behaved pets and students! A huge thank you to Mrs Hammond, Sir and the wonderful Pet Day committee who made this happen for all of us to enjoy.

Pet Day Art

Today we had our first Paparore School Pet Day and it was absolutely fabulous. As part of Pet Day we did lots of fun art activitites. Our class has been learning about Wetlands and gardening so our exhibits were related to our learning. The students made a Wetland Diorama, Pukeko Art, Pet Planter Pots and Re-cycled Planters (Home).

Our class had a great time creating our artwork over the past two weeks. The students felt very proud of themselves and I think they all did a fantastic job!

Learning, Creating and looking forward to Sharing at our Pet Day

This week our class has been super busy working on our Pet Day Art. We have been learning about Wetlands so have created ‘Pukeko Art’ using crayon, dye and collage. We are also making ‘Wetland Diorama’s using shoe boxes, paint and ‘natural materials’ found in our school gardens. The students are also preparing their recycled bottle ‘Pet Planters’ to complete on Pet Day. They have been growing ‘greens’ to plant in them on the day.

Our home ‘Pet Day’ task is to make a planter using a recyled bottle, pottle or container. The students took a container home on Friday and chose a selection of items from school to decorate their planter with. They will bring this back to schoo on Thursday and choose something from our garden to plant in it to take home.
