Zentangle Broken Dishes

This week the team created their own version of a Zentangle display, which we have called Broken Dishes.

Our inspiration was a photo of a Cinco Mayo quilt from the WonkyWorld blog.  Each pupil had a paper plate with three rings pencilled onto it, and created a Zentangle design.  The plates were then cut into quarters and rearranged on the wall.

This week's THINK ABOUT IT...

M.I.N.T.S.

I have decided that my Year Sixes are not taking enough responsibility to use capitals correctly so have put together this incentive...

Pupils will get to take a mini mint whenever they have correctly used:

M for the months of the year (and days!)

I for the pronoun 'I'

N for names (people, places, countries, brands, important groups)

T for titles such as Mr, Mrs, Dr, Sir, madam

S for the start of sentences. 

Thanks to Raewyn Green from the Southland Campus of the University of Otago for the acronym hint!
