Kapahaka, Pets and Instruments

By -
Chevron is very good at Kapahaka so he did Kapahaka sessions with the students in years 3 and 4. We were very impressed when he showed us the haka he had learnt. We are all looking forward to doing more Kapahaka each Wednesday next term.
Amy got a new kitten and bought it to school to show us. We all took turns to pat it and it's fur was so soft. We asked her lots of questions about her special pet and then as a class we discussed how to care for animals. We also thought of lots of 'wow' words to describe her kitten.
Oscar has just started to learn the violin. He told us what he had to do to care for the instrument. As a class, we discussed what is involved in being a performer and also what being a member of an audience involves. Oscar then demonstrated how the violin is played by both plucking the strings and using the bow. We really loved his performance and look forward to watching him perform again for us soon.

Last term Room 3 had Performing Arts lessons each week. They learnt lots of different dances. On Friday, they shared one of the dances that they had learnt at the Full School Assembly. The audience sang as they did the dance. We hope you enjoy it!

  Diwali. We have been working hard during our Inquiry time learning about festivals and celebrations.The Indian festival of Diwali is centred around Light so we have been busy using our collage skills to create beautiful candles. Collage requires Patience and Perseverance. Well worth all the hard work though!! .     We also painted our own beautiful D iva's-  small candles which are placed around peoples homes during Diwali.   Lights welcome the New Year and create a happy festive atmosphere. Come into Room 3 and see what you think!

We are enjoying working with Mrs Hooke doing Performing Arts on a Thursday morning-moving to music and learning to make interesting shapes with our bodies. We also enjoyed having some time on Friday to construct models using old boxes,egg cartons etc.When describing our models we tried to think of interesting words. We spoke clearly and listened to each other.Some of the models were constructed in teams and we all co-operated together.    It's so enjoyable to work together. Well done Room 3!
