Rippa Rugby

 Check out some of our skills we learnt with Cam. He reminded us how to pass the ball and what to call out when we took our opponent's rip. We played some fun activities as well.

Nice work Room 10- Waita!    

Creating our Matariki Art

 

First we drew a horizon line. Then we drew the shape of our Kapiti Island. We looked at kowhaiwhai designs and koru patterns. We divided our paper into three sections- sky, land and sea and used vivid pens to outline our designs. We needed to choose cold colours, hot colours and earthy colours. 

Then we used dye over the top to really show our crayon colours. 

Then we added our Matariki Star cluster- can you see it?

Busy! Busy! What have we been up to?

 Term 2 is full on already!

Here are some photo collages of some activities and learning we've been doing...

   We listened to paramedic Kylie from St John's. We found out that children our age have lots of accidents so we learned some ways to be safe. Here we are practicing how to bandage an injury. Philip won the first aid kit for respectful listening and answering Kylie's questions. 

Don't forget to comment below if you remember some ways to be safe or if you know the bandaging steps. 

Previous Highlights

Here are some pictures of us at the cross country, visiting the town library, enjoying the fire truck visit, improving our relay skills with Room 9, fun in the native bush, posting our letters and enjoying the animations that Room 9 created on their chrome books, Kapa haka and Matariki construction craft...Phew! We've done lots. Can you see which picture matches?

 We are getting ready for our Matariki Art rotations.

Kingston has been trialing a whirlygig design.

"It works!" said Kingston

Using Chromebooks

Last week we borrowed Room 1's Chromebooks to have a go at creating our own Google Drawing telling people about us. First we named our work. Then we took a photo of ourselves and we wrote our name on our canvas. We wrote about ourselves and we got to change the colour of the background. We got to change the colour of our words and change the font to make our writing look fancy. 

Ugly Fish Play

 

We are getting ready for our performance!

Our creations

 We drew a background picture then we took a photo of our background and put it in Google Slides. Then we took a photo of us and we edited the photo and removed the background. We put our photo of us onto the photo of our background. 

Then we wrote a story to go with our pictures.
