ASK ME ABOUT WEEK 9

 ASK ME ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DOING? 

We have been quiet during the past two weeks as there have been a number of us away either in isolation or with COVID. 

APRIL 1st: I didn't think I would get Room 4 students two years in a row. BUT we did.

WELL DONE TO Shrinithi, Devina and Rahma for completing a session for us about Mendhi. They used henna and draw designs on us. This was part of our learning for Cultural week. 

SELF PORTRAITS:

Check out our amazing self portraits. First, we worked on how to hold the pencil and followed some youtube clips about drawing portraits. We used a range of bright pastels and fully covered an A5 sheet of paper. Next, we painted over the pastels with two coats of black paint. Once this was dry we etched our pictures into the paper. They are now up on the wall of the classroom. Come and check them out when you can!

SWIMMING SPORTS

 CONGRATULATIONS to the following students from Room 4 who did extremely well in the Ilam School Swimming sports. They received their certificates yesterday!

2022 Cultural Day

Room 4 tamariki all looked fantastic during our Cultural day parade. 

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.

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!
