Van Gogh art

In the last week of Term 3, we did art every single day. 

We replicated different Vincent Van Gogh artworks using different mediums. 

 

LEGO time

Our school was very lucky and we got lots of LEGO sets donated by a company. 

During the afternoons in the first week of Term 2, we had LEGO time. 

Students buddied up and worked their way through a LEGO set together. For most students, this was the first time they had ever worked with LEGO before. 

We loved it!

Some students also learnt how to play chess during this time.

Watercolour poppies

We painted poppies for ANZAC day using water colour paint. For most of us it was the first time we had used this kind of paint, and we had to learn to always keep our brush wet, and be very gentle when getting the paint. Some of us pushed very hard and broke the water colour paint pieces. 

Learning journey!

Fractions

We have been learning about fractions. 

Because there is year 4, 5 and 6 in the same class and we all know different things, we had different things to learn and focus on.

Miss Ashley wrote up 100+ questions and we had to try and get as far as we could through it. 

For the year 4's, their goal was to try and get up to question 30. 

For the year 5's, their goal was to try and get up to question 80. 

For the year 6's, their goal was to try and get up to the last question. 

Most of us got there, or even PAST where we needed to get! 

ANZAC ceremony 2019

Every year we have an ANZAC ceremony. 

ANZAC day is on 25th April. It commemorates the soldiers from Australia and New Zealand who fought at Gallipoli, but also we remember soldiers that fought and died in the other wars as well. 

Sports rotation

Kia Toa syndicate had a sports rotation so everyone could try out the inter-school sports for this term.
