Art Exhibition

This week was the bi-annual art exhibition at Sunnybrae. Look at all of the wonderful art we had on display.

Class Trip

Last Thursday we went to the Waitakere Transfer Station as part of our learning about Recycling.

Below are some things that we didn't know before we went.
Rubbish gets put in a hole in the ground called a landfill. (Lukas)
Plastic is made out of oil. (Jeet)

In the future...
I am going to recycle, compost, reuse and have a worm farm because I want Auckland to have 0% waste. (Kaia)
I am going to reuse my plastic bags because they cannot be recycled. (Justin)
I am not going to take clothes hangers from the shops. (Simon)

Abbie's Writing

In the holidays Abbie attended a Writers Camp. Read the beginning of the story she is currently working on.
Summerville was always a peaceful village, with a wonderful mayor and happy villagers.
But this story is about one certain little girl, called Sienna who has always stayed away from the town hall for-hire-but-always-closed lounge. Always, except once.
Sienna lives next door to the town hall so every night she listens to parties and celebrations going on inside the main hall. Her room was covered in posters of her favourite monster stories and pictures of herself.
If she looked out her window right now she would see the old town hall bell tower, which would be rung every hour. DING, DONG, DING, DONG, it would go, filling the air with its spine-prickling sound.

The Senior Syndicate Production

On Monday we went to watch the first performance of the Senior Syndicate production called 'Move It'. We thought it was fantastic. When we got back to class we did a PMI.

PMI by Sophie
Positives - singing, dancing, dance music, funny old people

Minus - Car wash sign upside down, couldn't hear old people, fighting each other

Interesting - Sam danced with Blaze, Blaze and Hypnotics made one dance group, car wash at the same time

PMI by Joseph, Marius and Bethany
Positives - cool dances and songs, groovy music, favourite characters are Sam, Nicole and Oldies

Minus - Oldies spoke quietly, some dances really quick

Interesting - Choir singing in two different parts

Kids Can Cook

We went to the Kids Can Cook show. Here are some of our thoughts.

I learnt that you have to clean your hands before you start cooking. Another interesting thing was that we got to go to the vegetable garden and find ingredients to use in our crepes.
By Lukas

I thought it was amazing because we got to taste test. Another interesting thing is that there is a sous chef in cooking.
By Thomas

I found out that you can squeeze and flick to open an egg. Another interesting thing is that you can flip a crepe. Some of the things you can put in crepes are cream and berries.

Poppies

We had to use scale and size to draw an ANZAC Poppy. We had to mix and blend paint to create new colours.

Silhouettes

We had to trace around our partner using the projector. We then filled in the space using interesting patterns. The patterns had to be coloured in warm (yellow, orange, red) or cool (blue, green, indigo) colours.
