Ukulele Man

On Tuesday 8th of November the whole school went to a show that Mike and Tom were running. The show was about 2 people,playing the Ukulele and other instruments. Tom showed some things that he could play on the ukulele. Mike had told us that he had been playing music for 52 years. He started playing when he was 12. Mike showed us that he could do some tricks
like string tricks and juggling . Some of Mikes songs we play in our class using our ukulele. We enjoyed joining in and playing some of these with him.

Art Gallery

This week saw our class going to the Art gallery and working with Mr Neumegan. Our focus was on transport . As we travelled around the gallery we looked at and discussed some of the works and how people told their stories. At one exhibition we were encouraged to interact with the art work. Everyone enjoyed this.

Off to the classroom we went. We made art work from a birds eye view. We had to draw maps and think about what they might look like from goggle earth. These pieces of art were fantastic and know they decorate our classroom walls.

Some childrens art work was asked to be share with other people because it was so good. We always love going to the art gallery and can't wait to go again.

Full Steam Ahead

Full Steam Ahead

On Wednesday, my dad Andrew came into Room 5 and showed us
how a Steam Engine works. I made a poster about trains and I had to share it a
week later because my dad couldn’t share it earlier. He brought a model Steam engine in. This is run by heating the water by fire. When the water boils, the steam pushes it through a pipe and then pushes the wheel around and around. The extra steam comes out a funnel just like a real steam train.

Rugby World Cup Show

Rugby World Cup Show

Anna and Kattrin came and performed a show they created
about the Rugby World Cup. We all enjoyed the show very much. We listened
to a range of different stories that Kattrin told from the different countries that were taking part in the world cup.
We sang “My old man’s an All Black”. It was enjoyable especially having rugby balls made into a sheep, a watermelon, a baby and a Christmas pudding. Finally they told their last story and it was time to leave. If you want to check out the song , check it out on you tube.
