Festive Art Work

Mrs Ireland has been coming in to Room 16 every Tuesday to help us with our learning.  We had a fun Tuesday making reindeer on Mrs Ireland's last Tuesday with us.  We had to draw around our hands and a foot and then cut out these templates and assemble them to make a reindeer.  A red pompom nose, google eyes and lots of glitter finished the pictures.

A helping hand from a friend makes the job easier.

Talanoa's Art Work

Talanoa drew a great picture of himself in his Pt England uniform on his iPad.  Well done Talanoa - I like the details on the shirt that you added.

Our Gingerbread Man Stories

"I like the Gingerbread Man.  He went fast.  Sly Fox ate the Gingerbread Man."  By Talanoa

"I like the Gingerbread Man.  He can run very fast."  By Jadakiss

"I made a Gingerbread Man.  He didn't run away.  I ate him."  By Xavier

"The Gingerbread Man ran fast and the fox ate the Gingerbread Man in a 1,2,3,4,5."  By Bentley

Listening to Music

We listened to "The Snow is Dancing" by Debussy for our writing motivation.  The children were not told the title but had to use their imagination to say what they thought the music was about.  Here are some of their imaginative stories.

"The sun was dancing on the water.  The music was fast."  By Jeremiah

"I liked the music.  It sounded like the stars dancing."  By Talanoa

"The music was like the moon was dancing in the dark."  By Bentley

"I like the rain dancing on the roof and the music sounded like this.  By Flynn

"Today we are writing about some music.  The music has a piano.  It is like rain coming down."  By Ahasi

Flynn and his friends listening to the music.

Talaloa's Picture

Talanoa proudly shows his picture he drew of himself in his school uniform in hyperstudio.

Immersion Assembly

"Today we went to assembly and I liked the guitar."  By Jaycob

"I liked watching movies.  I like the movies."  By Talanoa

I like Team 1 and Team 2 and Team 3 and Team 4 and Team 5 items.  The music changed and this made the movie different.  By Bentley

Playing with The Aliens

"I played with the aliens.  We played tag.  I am kind."  By Talanoa

Ignition Trails From Our Rockets

"Rockets have flames coming out the back of them," said Jerome so we made our rockets and shuttles have ignition trails too.

Guardians Of The Galaxy

Our Inquiry topic has inspired the children to think about space travel and what rockets that travel between planets might look like.  Abbey, Talanoa and Jaycob have used Hyper Studio to draw their ideas.
