Ronald McDonald - Safety

Ronald McDonald came to our school to talk about being safe on the road. 

See the pictures and our stories to match.

Today Ronald McDonald hung his red and white sock on the line, but one of his socks flew away. He did not know how to find his sock, he thought he would go in his car, but it was a sunny day so he walked. He came to a sneaky driveway he took a step back and looked and listened before he crossed the driveway. Then he came to a school, he saw a crossing, he waited for the check, clear and cross now. Then he came to a hall, Chad got the sock off his back. - Lana

Mixed Up Stories

We all started with a piece of paper and a pencil. After writing the word the teacher said, or a word from a list, e.g. people, places adjectives (describing words) or verbs, we had to roll our paper down before passing our paper to the person on our left. They then had to add a word, the pages went round in a circle until the story was finished.

Here our our stories.

The pretty and tall sister skipped in to the haunted bush because she was happy and excited.

The short fat  old sister rode a bike into KFC because she was hot and starving.

The rich cool niece ran into KFC because she was mad.

The pretty and rich nephew rode into the pool because he was hot and silly.

Art Exhibition

Our School Art Exhibition took a lot of practise. We all worked very hard to produce our best work and performance.

First we can see the Junior Kapahaka practising and then in their new shirts made by the Art Group.

The Art group made the surf boards and the shirts worn by the Pasifika Group.

The Year 3 and 4's used their Fibres unit to create cloak and scarecrows

The Junior Cooking Group made Chef's outfits to go with our Fashion and Fibres topic too.

 Finally the Senior Cultural Groups were last. It was great to watch them.

Art Cultural Group

The Junior School started Cultural Groups this term. We had fun in the Art Group.

We planned to created t shirt designs the Junior Pasifika and Maori Groups could wear for their performance.
We came up with 4 different tie dye options for the Pasifika Group, they then got to pick one.

We had to put rubber bands on our shirt
to create our design.

Some dyed their shirts like a rainbow,
some folded their shirt in half before dying it.

We had to wear gloves on
our hands when using the dye.

I can't wait to add dye to our shirts, hopefully it will
look like a rainbow

We used three colours and waited to see what
would happen when they mixed.

The final shirts looked really cool.

We came up with 4 different Maori designs to screen print, the Maori Cultural Group picked one.

First we had to creating our design on paper.

It was hard work trying to spread the paint evenly.

If we needed to we could wash out the paint and try again.
