Amazing Science With Amadeo!

On Monday Amadeo from the Otago Museum came to school to share his love of science with us. We saw bubbling clouds of icy steam, balloons expanding and shrinking, gas explosions and even a rocket blasting off into space!!! We got to imagine how dark and cold space is. It was awesome.

Room 5's Assembly 17 /8/12

At our assembly we sang some Maori action songs and did the stick dance. We shared some of our animal descriptive writing and posters and showed our koru art. Some of the girls made up a play. It was an awesome assembly because everyone did something. I was very proud of you all. Ka pai.

Jump Jam Fun with Room 5 Leaders

Today Aarnika, Caitlin and Pyper were our leaders for Jump Jam fitness. They did a great job of keeping everyone in time and showing us the actions to do. Our favourite new dance is Four Minutes.

Art Gallery

At the art gallery John showed us some really old pictures from the Middle Ages. After that we watched an animal movie. Then we painted some animals. I chose the jaguar. I used the colours orange, brown and yellow for its fur. I learned how to do the eyes better and how to flick with the paint brush to make the animal stand out. It was fun.

Spiny racing leaves.

Yucky crispy autumn leaves.

Art Gallery Trip

Yesterday we went to the Art Gallery. First John showed us some pictures that were painted a long time ago. One was of Captain Cook and there was a picture of a girl that liked cats and her arms looks like cat’s paws. All the pictures were cool. Then we went upstairs to do our animal portraits.  I did a wolf. First we had to do the eyes and then we had to do leaves and then we had to put on dye.  We had so much fun.  We can't wait for next time.

Fun times in Room 5

I am now in Room 5. It is fun. We do writing and reading and art too. Room 5 is bigger than my old class room. My teacher lives across the road from me.  Look at me doing maths and the prayer table in the class and the class room5. See if you can find me?

Crunching through the trees

Rustling, swaying, crackling leaves  

Dotty, spotty leaves

My Holiday

In the holidays we got a new boat and we took it to Lake Aviemore. On the first ride, the boats battery broke down and went flat. We were trapped on the boat mostly fishing, but not a bite. Then we saw land and I was being a bit silly and yelled out “Land ahoy”. Then we got to land, the battery was put in and Mum, Dad , India and Cy drove the boat back to port, and pulled the boat in. We switched Gage and I stayed on land. Five minutes later we went back on the boat and had no more breakdowns.
