We went and watch two old Black and White Movies at Opunake Theatre. They were great, interesting and funny. They didn't have any sound and the only music they had was with the piano….
We held our first Year 4/5/6 inter school sports exchange against Ngare on 8th of May. Wins in the Rugby and Netball and a close second in hockey. Thank you to the coaches and everyone who came to watch. Well done to everyone in the teams!
In term one Room 14 looked at how we get on at school. We decided to try and make a movie using photos. We took photos of ourselves, coloured them in with pastels, drew bubbles and published our rules using 'Pic Collage.' We are still experimenting with stop motion but not a bad first try...
At the start of the year we drew these Awesome Cartoon faces. We followed directions from the 'Art Projects for Kids' (link) website. Check out our great work...
Some of the students who at tended the mid-week WOMAD taiko Drummers workshop with the Australian drum group, TaikOz. They used the free passes they received and participated in the drum parade on WOMAD Sunday. They did a great job and had a lot of fun. Well done everyone.
Americarna hit the roads of Opunake today. Over 700 vintage, classic and modern American made cars found their way to Opunake's Event Centre as part of their round the mountain ride. We all went down to take a look at these 'AWESOME' cars. We then went back to school and used the photos we took to produce some great pieces of 'Digital Art,' Newsclip footage and used iMovie to produce reviews of the day. These great projects will be published to our blogs soon.
We had our Schoolwide PRIDE Day last Friday (30/1/15). As a school we were split into PRIDE teams and participated in problem solving and team building activities. We had a great day completing the different activities!
