Week 5 Term Three

Kia ora koutou

Welcome to our Blog!  We will be using this blog in class as a way to access online material for group activities as well as a way to communicate our learning journey.  Please feel free to leave a comment.  Comments will be moderated by Mrs Donnelly before they appear on the blog.  Below are some highlights of the week written by our students.

We went to a play on Thursday called 'Hear to See' about a boy called Olly.  He battles through his addiction to his playstation.  At the start of the play he ignored everyone around him as he was obsessed with his game.  He meets new and interesting characters that help him reach his   destination. It was an amazing show to see, incredible lighting and puppetry.

Over the past two weeks we have been writing our own Maori Myths or Legends about something local.  We are all working hard to get these completed.

This week we watched ads with Room 6. We were lucky enough to have both Mrs Webster and Mrs Donnelly for this session!  We were watching the ads to gather information about how the personality traits and language of New Zealand is presented in the media.  We also talked about how this    made us feel.  We went into groups and we learnt a new word, rad. Some of the clips we watched were Goodnight Kiwi, ads for Instant Kiwi, L & P and Tip Top.

We have been doing Google designs to make a design for the google home page.  The best one goes on the google home page next year.  Also its a  kiwiana home page.

Yesterday we had our first session of golf with Jenna from Golf Southland. We were very lucky to time our lesson with the weather.  We all learned the correct stance and swing technique to hit a ball for miles!  We will be having another session with Jenna next Thursday.

Congratulations to our very own Hamish and Isaac who represented Enrich to win the Southland Island Chess Tournament yesterday.  Outstanding effort!

Another great week in Room 7!
