Assembly

Last week being book week, we had to dress up as one of our favourite book characters, here is a short presentation of what we dressed up as.

In writing we have been learning how to write the perfect paragraph to go along with our explanations and some us have made a stop motion to display our new learning, here is a few examples of work.


 Samaras

This term we have been looking at how rubbish is disposed from a lollipop wrapper to Kate Valley Landfill in Canterbury.

Learnz has taken us on a journey from your rubbish bin to the dumps around the South Island. Here is a short presentation of our new learning.


 Certain kinds of rubbish takes a long time to break down. Here is what Harrison and Alvin found out



For the Art Soiree Totara has made Tie-Dye T Shirts we will be screen printing them but so far here is the product.

In art for the last couple of weeks we have been focusing on what makes a good Logo as well as Protest art

Zoe’s learning on protest art.

This week we began to learn how to ride unicycles. Here is a short video on our progress.

Book Character Assembly

For many of us this is our 8th and last Book Character assembly. This is what we dressed up as this year! See if you can spot Ricky Baker

Enlargements

Sophie came up with a very clever solution to TOO MUCH INFORMATION

To finish off this term we decided to do some hands-on maths. Enlargements are very much Geometry and Measurement rather than art. Many things need to happen to be able to create a successful enlargement; Measuring the image, estimating the new grid size, using division to confirm, measuring and ruling accurately & finally spatial awareness-to be able to transfer points on an image to a new (and larger image). I was very impressed  by Room 14s efforts.

Virtual Field Trip

Where are we?

Following Instructions

Room 7 invited Room 14 to come up 'for a surprise'. We didn't quite know what it was going to be but we were told we had to wash our hands first!!! When we got there we found that Room 7 had been writing instructions. We had to read and then follow what the instruction said. Yum!!!

Sharing the Learning

Today we went to Room 7 to share our learning across the classrooms. I was very proud of everyone who shared, supported and listened to others in their learning.
