Week 6 Summary




This week Josh managed to break his arm whilst doing some fancy moves on the bars. He is the second Rm 24 student to do this! Hope you are feeling better soon Josh.

Emily, Satori, Connor, Connor, Bridget and Te Iwa enjoyed 3 PE extension sessions with Mr McKenzie. We are looking forward to them teaching us the new frisbee game they learnt.

This week we have completed our calendar art - make sure you come and see it in the school office and place your orders for cards, calendars and diaries.

We have been working really hard on transferring our non fiction mammal reports into scripts for an oral report using ICT. Some of us have chosen to make a documentary style tv show and others are making imovies with voice overs. We are working in groups and hope to be finished next week so look out for these great pieces of work in our blog soon.



In art this week we completed some fantastic scrafitto work, drawing our head and shoulders first then using pastel to colour it. This was then covered in a thin coating of black paint. When it was dry we scratched the paint away using a pin, carefully ruling thin lines in various directions to reveal out faces. We are really proud of our work.




On Friday we took part in the coin trail for Daffodil day. Not many of us appear to have a great deal of yellow clothing but we were happy to contribute to such a great cause and after a quick discussion discovered that nearly all of us have had someone close to us affected by cancer. It was brilliant to hear later in the day that just over $700 was raised. It was awesome to see Satori and Connor performing their Jump Jam routine too, looking good boys!
