Arts Week

Last week was arts week, everyone had loads of fun, the teachers had planned some lovely activities that are related to art. In every class, we did either music, art or drama.

We also had the Jam Bus come and record the instrumental group, Kapa Haka group and the choir.

Jamie, the producer of the Jam Bus told us the process. Everyone who got recorded are extremely happy, maybe it is because they are going to have their very own CD. The CD will have a better version of the music, not that we were bad. On Friday, we had a very special assembly celebrating the magic of art! There were dances, singing and lots of beautiful and sophisticated art pieces.  Our school even had a 3D printer! Only 4 people from each class in the senior syndicate got to go!

It was very exciting! My favourite activities were going to see the waerable arts costumes and also see the 'artists in resident.'

Arts week by Hazel

This week was arts week and it was amazing. Room 2 had an awesome time, we did dancing with Miss Coffer, Drama with Mrs Knofflock and with Mr Mac. We also did art with Mr M and cut out art with Mrs Poole. Miss J also showed us what she was doing with other classes. In between times we made bags did some sketching and knitting. We also made clay sculptures on Monday. That was a big mess. Thank you Mrs Dowden and Mrs Newman for this outstanding week. 

Below are pictures of us having fun making our clay sculptures and bags. Please enjoy. Hazel.

Food Revolution Week

Hi everyone, during Food Revolution week we did a lot of preparation work in Room 2. On Tuesday we had a play at cutting up an apple. Using good safety techniques like cutting the apple in half, so there is a flat surface to continuing cutting on.
On the Wednesday we also had a make our own sandwich day. The children brought in a range of different toppings and I supplied the bread and butter. Our skill to learn for that day was how to spread toppings onto a piece of bread, starting with butter.
It was great to see the children trying new foods on the sandwich. Some, the avocado was a whole new experience, as well as humus and cottage cheese!
Every one enjoyed making our Smash it sandwich on the Friday. Again trying new ingredients was great for everyone.
Thank you to all the parents who helped on the Friday, without you it wouldn't have happened.
Please enjoy a range of photos that were taken throughout the week.
Miss J.
