We are learning to use a variety of painting techniques



We have learnt how to use a variety of painting techniques such as drag and dry brushing. These techniques were used to create these gorgeous Nikau Palms.....

We are learning to write poems

The children in Room 9 have been writing a variety of poems.  They have used extended abstract thinking as they have reflected on times that made them feel happy or bored.

Happiness is.....
Happiness is going to the beach on a blistering hot summers day.
Happiness is sitting inside doing nothing and then it starts hailing so you run outside and collect hail in containers.
Happiness is staying up until midnight and eating junk food.

By Briana.

Boredom is.....
Boredom is a dull, grey world with nothing fun to do.
Boredom is having no fantastic toy store to drag your mum into.
Boredom is being blistering hot on a day that you have been naughty and your brother gets an ice cream and tortures you with it.

ARTS FESTIVAL

Room 9 and 10 were fantastic performers at the Art Festival last week. They played Martian Boogie on their recorders. They had to practice really hard and it paid off. Well done!

Spinach- yum!


Today we picked the spinach out of our Edible Garden. It had grown very tall. 
Briana, Alex and Matt helped Mrs Jewell cook it and then we tasted the delicious spinach. Some of us liked it more than others!


Our visit to the building site

Today we went to visit the schools new music room which is been built behind the hall. Mr Northam showed us inside the building. We had to walk across a plank to get into the building, which was fun. We had to be really careful while we were walking. 
We had brainstormed lots of questions about the building and Mr Northam answered them for us.

Eva said, "It liked the building. I think the windows will look really good".
Niamh said, "It was great to get information from the builder".
Harrison said, "I learn that there is different kinds of wood".
Ashley said, "The building is big which is good because we will have space to practice our recorders".
Amy said, "It will look nice and shiny when it is finished, just like our hall".
