Green Gold Celebration Day!

By -
What a fantastic day we had on Friday as we celebrated the achievement of the Green Gold Enviroschool Award. We started the day by watching the hangi being prepared and then we joined in with the powhiri. After that we listened to speeches including those by our Year 7 and 8 leaders and then our Kapahaka group performed on stage. All this was then followed by the presentation of the flag, certificate and special tree, which was planted in our playground. We watched the hangi being lifted and then we all ate the yummy food together. The fire engine and fire fighters came and that night we had a special disco.

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!
