Lets play the Clave !

Music with Mrs D

What did we learn?

* We learnt that the sticks were called Clave.

* We can put them down, and not touch them when the teacher is talking to us.

* We can tap them fast, and tap them slow.

* We can make a music pattern.  When Mrs D clapped her hands then we copied on the sticks.

What was I proud of?

* It made me feel happy when I could tap the pattern.

* I was good at not touch the Clave when Mrs D was talking.

What was tricky?

* Some of the patterns were tricky to listen to, and then copy.

* It was hard not to touch the Clave sometimes.

Who can I ask for help?

* Mrs D, Mrs Wyatt or a friend that is next to me.

What would I like to do next?

* I want to play the violin.

* I want to play the guitar.

Planting in our garden box.

Today we planted pansies and lobella in the garden box outside our classroom.  I helped to dig the hole with Mrs Wyatt's old spoon, and then I pressed one of the plants into the hole.  We all had a turn of watering them when we were finished.

Wearable Arts Show

The Room 27 tamariki have had a wonderful time preparing their shoes for the wearable arts show at school.  They took time and care to prep and paint tissue boxes and then decorate them using a range of materials.  It was lots of fun seeing them show off their beautiful creations as well as their best dance moves in front of the whole school!

"Managing self" is a key competency that students displayed during this experience as they had to listen to instructions and exercise self-control throughout the process.

My Self Portrait

WALT:  create an observational drawing of an object while thinking about size, shape and position.

This term in Art we sketched a picture of ourselves.  Nga tamariki had to listen to the teacher talk about the different parts of the face and draw each one step-by-step.  We discussed the different shapes and where we should put them.  It was sometimes tricky deciding how big they should be.

Once the portrait had been sketched we then drew over the lines using a black vivid and coloured it in using coloured dyes.

Wonderful Writing

WALT:  make sure our words match our picture.

We love Story Writing time in Room 27.  We talk about what we will write about and then we go and draw our picture.  We have to make sure the story we write matches the picture we have drawn.

How do you think I did?
