Our Deskmats


Here are some of our completed deskmats. We use these for pressing boards if we are working on the mat or when we are colouring so we don't scribble on our desks.

We were learning about the warm and cool colour families. We used this learning to do the artwork for our deskmats. We had to choose three warm of cool colours to draw our name then choose the opposite colour family for the background colour.

    1. Every year we do deskmats and we do a diferant one every year aswell.
      the reason why we have deskmats is so we dont get paint stains or color on our desks.

      Alright. First of all:
      Eddie: Well, thank you for commenting, but I think we do deskmats for the fun, and it is cool to have a deskmat. I have been doing deskmats since my first year in the middles, I think, otherwise before I came to this school, I did deskmats at:
      FOREST LAKE PRIMARY SCHOOL
      (I didn't really like it there)

  3. Well done Monica and Mariona for using the Maori greeting Kia ora. So we'll say Hola to Mar and your classroom :)We are so pleased to hear that you liked our idea of deskmats so much you guys decided to make them! We feel very special. Your mats look awesome too.

    Morena (good morning) Mr Millers class. We use our deskmats to protect our desks if we are painting or colouring with pastels. We also use them as pressing boards when we are working on the mat or outside. We will add a photo to this post showing the other side as it has templates to help us with our learning.

    Thank you for your kind comments
