ROOM 4 CULTURES
During the past two weeks, Room 4 have been working extremely hard on the Google slides below. We were learning to research our own countries and to produce a presentation to show to our class.
We had to research various sites and books. Part of our learning was working with others, taking short notes, summarising and paraphrasing. While making our slides we learnt how to insert photos, add backgrounds and make transitions. We also had to think about the fonts and colours used.
ENJOY READING

CRICKET
Huge Thanks to Mr Marsh for creating 3 cricket teams so that our student got a chance of experiencing cricket. They had a festival day today.
'The Heat' won the Festival (literally and figuratively)! Lennox and Chiharu were the stars for The Heat and Luke put in some good performances for The Firebirds. Luke was by far and away the most enthusiastic player!
I have attached pics of the two teams together and the winning team. Have a cracker of a weekend. 
WALK WHEEL WEEK
WOW thanks to the student council and their guidance from Mrs K, sorting an awesome week for us.
Lots of fun activities spread throughout the week. Today was non-uniform and FUNKY FOOTWEAR: Check out some of the great ideas!
ALSO, we got to design futuristic footwear!

WATER SAFETY
This week we worked on water safety in the school pool. We all wore clothes so that we could tell the difference between clothes and togs when in the water.
We noticed the weight of the clothes dragged us down. We put buckets on our heads and used the air pocket to breathe. We were pushed out of the small dinghy to get a feeling of being overwhelmed when landing in the water.
Mrs Ewen was there beside us through all of this and this helped us feel safer!
The Best Of Me
We have been writing about the Best Part of Me: All Room 4 students chose their best part of their body and wrote about why this part was the BEST:

Sarala says, “Mah-rah-ba”, Kaitlyn says, “Hello” …but
Chorus
We all laugh in the same language
We all love to learn and play
Our hearts beat in the same rhythm
Round the world, we’re all the same
We all cry when we feel sorrow
We all love our family
We all hope for a better tomorrow
Round the world, you and me
Raj rides a rickshaw, Nigel takes the bus
Gabe drives a bobsled, Cynda walks through dust
Early each morning , just like me and you
Children all around the world are on their way to school! (oh)

We’re ebony, ivory, bronze and gold and tan
We’re citizens of planet earth, a family of man
