Sunflower Window Art

Room 4 drew some sunflowers with vivid on to glad wrap which was on our window.

When everyone drew one we painted the sunflowers in red, yellow, orange, and green.

It took a long time to paint the sunflowers.

We think our sunflower art looks beautiful and looks like we have a sunflower garden in our classroom!

Christchurch Earthquake Fundraising - Part 2

Today we are having another trash and treasure sale to raise money for the Red Cross to give to Christchurch.
First we put the toys into the right groups.
Next we see how much money the toys are.
Last we get all the people in the school to come and buy some toys and to have fun with the toys and play with them.
We hope we raise lots of money

Rachel will deliver the cheque from the school to the Red Cross when she is in Christchurch in 2 weeks!

Arts Alive Performance

On Monday the 20th of September, Syndicate 2 did an Arts Alive performance.

First Room 6 did an interesting dance all about magic playdough. When the kids were not looking it would jump off the big table.

Then room 5 went and did a cool play about The Three Little Pigs.

Last was our class, Room 4, we did two ribbon dances. Our first dance was not that good. Our next dance was really good, it looked amazing. We did lots of circles and moving with our ribbons and bodies.

An email to Gil

Today we read an email Gil sent to us. He has left Waiuku and moved all the way to Israel.

We wrote him back an email, this is what it said:

Dear Gil,

We got your message. We heard it is really hot in Israel.
We fixed it so that you can go back into Mathletics. We can see how many points you get!
We also heard that you cannot understand the language in Israel. Maybe you could learn a few words to make it easier.

Here are some messages from Room 4:

• We miss you - from Emily
• You had better remember me, I'm one of your best friends - From Cory
• I hope you enjoy living in Israel - From Waima
• Do you think it is cool in Israel? - From Ryan
• What is it like in Israel? What do they eat? - From Tauryn
• Is it fun in Israel? - From Caleb
• How is your school in Israel? - From Nick
• What is your class' name? - From Natasha
• We have been missing you for weeks - from Luke

Bye!

From Room 4 & Rachel

Space Poems

We are learning how to present space poems.

At the end of the term we are having a poem recital. We have been learning different space poems and working hard to recite them with expression and to read them clearly. We don't want it to sound like we are robots reading!

Take a listen to us reading the poem "Space" and let us know what you think of our presentation!
