Fantasy Silhouettes

We are working on the black silhouettes to compliment the colourful wash throughs from last week.

They are starting to look pretty stunning.

Genius Hour week 3

A lot of busy work today during our 3rd Genius Hour session. The children all started a google presentation to share on their blogs and we even had Reddy's news come and visit.

Go the 'Lit Pigs'

Amy is off to the Literacy Quiz with a pretty cool group at Nelson Intermediate today-good luck!

House Swimming

I had a sneaky peak around the other class blogs and came across some rather fantastic photos I thought needed to be shared from Room 18.
Somehow, amazingly Ngatiawa won the Junior and Senior swimming relays-happy days indeed.
It was such a special day, even Reddy made an appearance.

Fantasy silhouettes

Firstly, I'm pleased that I know how to spell silhouettes..secondly, I'm proud of the way our new artworks are coming along.
The students have created a watercolour wash-through- aiming to blend bright colours and to create a mystical scene.
Our next steps are to think creatively to create black silhouettes that give the artwork its' edge....these should turn out really well.
More to come.

Post comments

We love getting comments on our blogs-so thank you to all the students, teachers and parents who are taking the time to visit the class blog and make comments-these are appreciated and shared with class when possible.

I know for sure that the class would love comments from parents on their personal e-portfolio blogs-they get a real kick out of positive feedback. Feedback can help them see the point of their efforts and inspire them to put in more effort and care into their future posts.

Thanks again!

Genius Hour in Action

Today was our second session on Genius Hour. We have some fantastic projects on the go-I am looking forward to the final sharing session in 6 weeks time.

Some Genius Hour Projects

 Just a quick selection of a variety of big questions the class have asked of themselves for Genius Hour.
Come into the classroom to see more. The class is alive and buzzing on Fridays!

Camp movie

Apologies as this was my first time using the go-pro, but it was still a lot of fun to learn how to use.

We also lost a lot of footage from the first day, but you get a good idea of how enjoyable camp was.
