The Waikowhai Book Fair

The Famous Waikowhai Book fair week. Yet again the Waikowhai students showed just why they are the best in the world by really getting into our book fair week. We have been super busy doing fun and exciting activities. We had the outstanding and very funny Judi Billcliff as a guest speaker. We have dressed up as our favourite book character. We have even had a parade to showcase the wonderful characters we have here in our school. Below is just a snap shot of some of the fun that we have had here this week. 

MUSIC MAKES ME LOOSE CONTROL.

To kick start a very busy term three Te Waka Ako have been getting creative. We have been creating the sounds of sweet sweet music (and some not so sweet sweet music) whist looking at how we can connect our bodies through music.  For our Music and Dance unit this term we have been starting to look at Music and what influence music has over us. For our first and second dance and music sessions we have been looking at how we can use our bodies to create different shapes and forms as well as making music that enhances and creates a certain type of mood. Below are just a couple of videos of the awesome work we have created thus far. Please feel free to comment and tell us what you think.  

Our Environment.

Welcome Bloggers!! This week the newly named but still mighty Waitemata (Room 7) have been very excited to have the opportunity to combine Drama, Technology and Inquiry all into one. For our Inquiry we have been learning all about our environment and whats been happing in it. We also this year have been doing Drama. So we thought why not do both and use technology as a medium to show it. For the first time also we got to use the green screen in our new classroom that we were super exited about. Below is the movie we came up with. We hope you like it and please feel free to comment.
