Relievers and Lego creations

On Monday our teacher was sick so we had a reliever. We had a lot of fun with Whaea Janice and she left a note for us to read the next day:

We also made some characters using Lego:

Rhyming poems and fabulous shoes

This week we practised writing some rhyming poems. First we watched a video by Kenn Nesbitt explaining how to write rhymes:

Then we had a go at writing our own poems. Here are some examples:

I love my brother
and he loves me too.
But I think of corona
When he says "Achoo".
by Ahzaria-Lee

The picnic was ruined by ants
So I danced.
by Tailah

We have also been practising a play and making props. We needed some fabulous shoes so Ashleigh is modelling some cardboard shoes she made with her group. They covered them with contact to make them even more fabulous!

Zoom breakouts!

This week we had our usual Zoom meetings on Tuesday and Wednesday. On Thursday we read the final chapter of Spaghetti Giraffe. To celebrate we all went on Zoom as individuals and got put into breakout rooms so we could talk to students from other schools. It was very exciting and we briefly made some new friends.

Bling Bling Toi Marama

We have started working on our artwork for the Kaikohe light festival which will open on 2nd July at Te Pū O Te Wheke Gallery.

First we showed our ideas using Sharpies and dye.

We are using recycled plastic water bottles to make our creation. We have been busy cutting and painting.

Can you guess what we are making?
