‘Scratching’ Art

Today we have been working on our ‘Scratching’ art. A few days ago we coloured in a piece of paper with yellow, green and brown crayon. The next day we painted over it with black paint, very thickly. Today we scratched the black paint off with kebab sticks to make a picture of the native bush, stars and the bush floor. Next we glued on a pastel Kiwi that we had made.

Jenna says “It looked very, very cool and we made it by cutting out a Kiwi shape and colouring it in (the Kiwi)”

Casey says “All our class finished it just in time before the lunch bell went”

Today we have been talking about ways we can help the Kiwi. Some of our ideas are:

Quinn says “Make traps for the predators”

Asger says “We can put signs and posters up in the town about helping the Kiwi”

Mat says “We can make a song about saving Kiwi”

Emily says “We are going to make some stuff on the computer about Kiwi to teach the other children about putting traps out”
