Holy Week Art

Mrs Moore was teaching us about Holy Week. She showed us a kind of hand painting. We had to make different  pictures for the different days of the Holy Week, like a palm for Palm Sunday.

Crazy collage

For art, we chose an animal to collage with paper. We also had to funk it up a little and make it look different!!

Triathlon

Lots of our class competed in the Central Otago Schools triathlon on Wednesday, either as an individual or as a team in Cromwell.  There were a lot of proud competitors as they finished with great smiles and pondered their achievements of finishing a triathlon!!

* POEMS *

As I jump to retrieve the ball,

The crowd goes wild.

I land on the hard stiff floor,

I defend my opponent.

Snatching back that ball,

Scoring a goal.

Ava Hay

A flapper.

A puller.

A splasher .

A turner.

A speeder.

A line crosser

A fair clapper.

I like hockey when I slap the ball into the goal.
I loathe hockey when I'm goalie.

I like softball when I whack a home run.
I loathe softball when I get out on base one.

I like biking when there is a light breeze.
I loathe biking when it is slippery and wet.

I like running when it is downhill or flat.
I loathe running when it is steep and wet.

I like skiing when I zip down the hill.
I loathe skiing when the chairlifts have big lines.

I like swimming if I'm cooling off in the lake.
I loathe swimming when I have to swim lengths.

I like tennis when I play my brother.
I loathe tennis when I play my Granddad.

I like athletics when I do a great long jump.
I loathe athletics when I do a terrible shot put.

Riding around town, doing tricks.
Showing off, doing awesome jumps.
Going fast, skidding on the gravel.
Being safe, it's time to roll!

Ben Payne


Sun setting.
Night falls.
Moaning outside my cave.
Breaking tools.
Waiting for sunrise.
Going deeper.
Falling faster.
Sizzling behind me.
Boom!!
It's over......

Christie Southwick



Sitting in the water
Getting butterflies
Looking at the judges face.
 Wondering what she's thinking?
I run over the first gate
Upset, angry, disappointed.
It was my big chance!
 Shattered into pieces.
Taking off my ski,
 Swimming to the boat.
People staring at me.
I made a fool of myself
My dad upset too.
I still have one more pass,
 Feeling good about this.

* CRICKET *

For PE this term we have been practising our cricket skills.... high catches, long throws, bowling, hitting and running between the wickets.  So to finish it off, we thought we would have a six-a-side cricket tournament.  The class was put into teams of 6 and we played a round robin tournament.  When our team wasn't playing we had to umpire in threes for the two games.  

You got to face 6 balls when you were batting, you had to bowl 6 balls when you ere fielding, and you had to rotate around the fielding positions every over!

NASA balloon ENGINEERS

We had two of the amazing engineers from NASA visit our class and chat to us about the balloon.  We did some research before they came so we knew a lot about the balloon and the launch BUT we learnt a lot more!!

 

 

We also shared what we learnt with Mt Iron which was a fun way to pass our knowledge on...

 

Quotes in our class...

Around the wall we have some quotes that we like to look at and get inspiration from...

The Water Cycle

We made very simple water cycles and taped them to our window!!

In our bags we have droplets and vapour and fog.  The water in our cotton balls has come out, because the suns heat made the water turn into vapour.  Then it went to top of the bag and stayed there.  When the cold air comes into the bag, the vapour cools and comes down as droplets like rain.     Lukas
