Setting Descriptions

We are learning how to write a narrative. This week we are looking at how to write an interesting description of a setting.

Will has written a description about Room 9.

Room 9 is a welcoming,peacful and musical place. With walls covered in art as beautiful as Mt. Cook on  amazing a sunny day. It has a activboard that is as flat as a table & is very useful,smart & creative.
All 20 windows are partly covered in more art!
Room 9 is a nice, safe place.

The Button Box

This week we have been performing the Button Box Production. We are in the Frog King with Room 1.
Some of the highlights of doing a production are; that we are showing unity, getting into our costumes, watching what the other classes have done, getting to do more singing and dancing and get to act.

Tonight is our final show at 6.30.
Miss Dippie will have a video of it to put up on the blog tomorrow!

Here are some photos of our performances so far.

Calendar Art

Room 9 has been busy making their calendar art. This year we have decided to do it a bit differently. We have used comic life and create Pop Art inspired calendar art.

Here are some photos.   The calendar art is on display in Room 9 for the next two weeks. You can order your calendars or cards from the office.

Study Ladder

Miss Dippie has just signed us all up to study ladder. Study ladder is a fun website where we can do different activities to help us with our learning. The activities are at different levels.
We all will get a login and password. We can use this both at home and school, and Miss Dippie can check in and see how we are going.
The link to our class login page is http://www.studyladder.co.nz/myschool/18653/myclass/269646

Our Wild Thing Descriptions

We have been busy in Room 9 writing descriptions about a wild thing that we drew.  We have been learning how to use Audacity on the laptops, and Garageband on the iPads to record our voices. We need to make sure we use the correct reading speed and have fluency so that our stories are nice to listen too.
Come and check them out on the iPad in Room 9.

 

Production Practice

Here are some photos from our production practice with Room 1 today.
We are working really hard on making sure all our movements are in time with the music and each other.
Our first dress rehearsal is on Friday.
Thanks Tom S for being a fantastic photographer.

The frog king!

This term we have been doing the Button Box Production.We have the frog king with room 1.This is what it sounds like...
Far far away there was a spring, there was a frog and the frog was king, king of the pond and he would boast that he was ruler from coast to coast. His mighty words spread cross the land until they crossed over the sea salt strand. Into the kingdom blue and deep where whales swam and dolphins leap. There was a turtle brave and free, Said I  will go test this mystery ,he swam through rivers, lakes and fords so he could visit the great frog lord. and when at last he reach the spring there was the frog, there was the king ,"Bow down before me" the frog said. The turtle jumped in and the frog was dead.

In Room 9 we are dancers and also frogs, and a giant frog and turtle.
Our production is in week 9
