Ben's Family Friday

On the 26^th of June my dad called Phil came in and talked about his job. His job is an architect and all he does is sit around and watch buildings be built. He brought in his laptop and on his laptop we played a little game that my dad uses to design buildings. We looked around for a table, a car and guy riding a bike.

Thanks dad.

In room 9 we have been creating our own Matariki myths. We could either make it as a movie or a book. Some others used the paint app on the computers to make pictures for their books.
Here's one of our videos we hope you enjoy them.

Self Portraits

This week we learnt how to draw a face by visualising it into three thirds. The top third is your forehead and eyes, the middle third is your nose and upper mouth and the bottom third is your lips and chin. It was fun learning to draw our self-portrait. We hope you like our pictures.

Family Friday Week 6

This Friday my dad came in and taught us about orienteering. He created a map of the school and made a course for our class. We got into teams of two and three. Then we ran around the course to find codes and clues. At the end we needed to work out the code which was.....Room 9 is cool! He showed us a clip about orienteering and asked us if we wanted to do orienteering again and Room 9 all said yes! Thanks for coming in dad, you're the best!

Plays

On Friday's we do cool, exciting plays. It helps us practise reading out loud, using expression, working as a team and performing in front of an audience plus we all love, love, love acting.

Reading Area

In Room 9 we have a fantastic area that encourages us to read. We have cushions, a couch, a chair and a bath. You're probably thinking bath? But it's not a bath with water, Mrs Suggate got an old bath and filled it with a duvet and cushions and it's actually a really comfy place to read.
