Thanks to some technological issues and an extremely busy term, updates have not been as regular as usual - here are a few photos from the last few weeks.
Production has been moving along nicely with most of Room 16 involved. Those not involved have been creating in Visual Art in Room 23 with Mrs Jowett. Everyone has been focused on the task at hand and it has been so awesome to see the talent in Room 16 - both on stage and off. I hope everyone has purchased their tickets!
In between production, we have been busy learning about 12 and 24 hour time and solving problems using both in Maths. We are also focusing on Fractions this term. We have done some fantastic retell writing of Rapunzel with a New Zealand twist. Some really creative ideas have included in the children's writing.
In Visual Art the children had to identify images that reflected themselves and create a collage with their chosen images. Next they had to use a viewfinder to choose a small square of their collage to enlarge and paint using watercolours. It would be lovely to see you in the classroom if you are able to pop in and view - Room 16 are very proud of their efforts.
Calendar Art has been the recent art focus and the children have worked very very hard to learn some new techniques to create a truly pleasing piece - they will be amazing as calendars!
For the first half of the term we focused on Skipping for Fitness - enjoyed by all - well done to all the skippers that mastered new skills.
For the last few weeks we have been doing Bootcamp - lots of fun and laughs!
Congratulations to all the Cross Country runners - Room 16 had 6 - 7 in the top 10 which is a great effort.
Lastly, we welcome Ms Muir back into Room 16 next week - she will be working with us for the rest of the term on student placement from AUT.
