Animations

Today Room 2 completed our amazing animations.  So far we have written the script, selected an app that worked the best for us, tried out a green screen, decided not to do this, painted backgrounds, and finally today made the animations and uploaded them to You Tube and onto our blogs.
So... Have a look. They are great.
Anyone who wants to check out how it was done, you can ask anyone in Room 2. 

Winter Warmers Reading Programme

Winter Warmers – Wairoa Public Library

We were lucky to be the school this year selected by the Wairoa Library to participate in the Winter Warmers Reading programme. The library has dropped off 2 containers of books we don’t have in our school collection. Each time children read a book, they complete a book review.  One book, one review, one sticker.  There are incentives along the way and when they complete their 10 book reviews, they receive a free book.

Some suggestions for reviews…

-       - Tell us why you chose this book to read.

-      -  Write a poem about the story.

-       - Draw a character from one of the books.

-       - Draw a scene from the story.

-       - Design a different cover for the book.

-       - Write something that you learnt from the book.

-       - Make a collage showing a scene from the book.

-       - Write a review of the book and the plot you read.

To complete the programme, children must complete a review each time they finish a book. 10 weeks and 10 reviews must be completed. They will be working on this both at school and at home, so ask them how it is going.

Longball.
Room 2 were practicing participating when  playing longball.  The people who had very good skills at longball were the coaches.
It was a sunny day and we all had lots of fun.

TECHNOLOGY CHALLENGE

The technology challenge was different because Year 5 and 6 had to be responsible for their houses. We did the dress up challenge where every team member needed to be dressed in paper clothes that included, between the team, a jacket, pants and a skirt. We had some very innovative and some quite pretty clothes. The challenge involved they whole team so there was maximum participation.   The house whose innovative clothes also met all the specifications was Te Ara o Paikea.
