Using iPads

USING THE IPADS

On Tuesday we used the black, purple and red IPADS. The download we used was puppet pals. There were tons of characters like zombies, princesses, animals and evil monsters. You can choose lots of different scenes like meadows and scary castles and the white house and dark forests. How you use puppet pals is you make a story with different characters in different scenes. We loved it and some were so funny.          

Mondrian Art

Mondrian Art                          

On Tuesday Mr. Witty taught us Mondrian art. It had all the primary colours like red, yellow And blue. And also black and white. You need a ruler and a piece of paper. We draw squares and rectangles. We will stick on pieces of black paper after the paint dries.

The name of the artist is Piet Mondrian. What I think about Piet's art is he is really creative, because it has all the primary colours.  I also think Piet is clever because instead of painting on papers  he paints houses and  cars. I think its awesome.

Cirque Du Room 6

Two weeks ago we had a circus. It was fun. There were lots of acts. There were clowns, pyramids and jokers.

Before we performed our circus on Friday we spent the week learning about the circus with Kate and Mr. Witty. With Mr. Witty we did skipping, hula hooping, and clowns. With Kate we did juggling and balancing. We watched videos and practised ourselves.

Then on Friday we had costumes and makeup and we all performed in the Room 6 Circus. Look at the photos.

Suter Art Gallery Visit

Wow, what a wonderful day we had at the art gallery on Wednesday! We saw big hairy masks with sharp teeth and flax bags. We also saw a picture of Mima. He was a warrior. We also made masks out  of paper. They were awesome and one of them had a tounge!

The reason we went to the Suter art gallery was to learn all about art from the Torres Strait. The Torres Strait is inbetween Australia and Papua New Guinea.

Have a look at some of our great photos from our trip!

Thanks Suter Art Gallery :D

We look ferocious just like our masks!

Death-breaking dragon

One time we went to Rhythm Interactive. And there was this guy that didn't talk at all until the end. He was on the stage and played the big big drum, and we had little drums.

The drums sounded like thunder pounding on the roof. Heaps of people were having so much fun. People's hands were getting sore from playing the drums so the guy on the stage showed us a way to make our hands better. 

The guy also showed us high and low voices for each group of people.

Room 6 and Room 8 Host Assembly

Last Friday, the middle syndicate hosted the school assembly. Room 6 and Room 8 were in charge, and we ran an arts assembly. That meant people sang songs, played music, and shared their talents! It was a really enjoyable assembly showing all of the skills that children in our school have. Below you can see some photos from the assembly.

My Holiday

In the holidays I went to rainbow ski field. I went on a blue sled that had a steering wheel. The steering part went into a dent and I flew into the sky!! It was a real adventure!
