2016 – Room 4 – Olympic Torches

Ayla Truman — Mon, 24 Oct 2016 02:17:34 +0000

As we were studying the Olympics Room Four decided we would create some Olympic Torches. We used some recycled milking cups from one of the students milk sheds and came up with these cool and colourful designs!

Last term Room 4 went on their very exciting outdoor camp to Ruakaka beach. While at the camp, students had a lesson in kayaking down the river, building our own nets and tee pee building. It was a very exciting camp that the students, and Mr Green really enjoyed! Here are a few pictures that were taken during camp!

2016 – Room Four’s Poetry

Ayla Truman — Fri, 12 Aug 2016 03:52:32 +0000

In Room Four we have just finished our unit on poetry. We learnt many different forms. Here are some examples of the poems that we came up with. We hope you enjoy

What am I?

Take a plain yellow animated face with a little bit of hair on top, some large round eyes and a large beak like mouth, that will chomp down any food.

Add a signature white T-shirt and a big glass of duff beer along with some plain blue jeans and black shoes.

Decorate with a fat stomach and a small vocabulary, that mainly involves the word “Doh!”

Stir in lots of humour and an airhead personality and a high amount of violence towards his son.

Bake in double glazed doughnuts and you just cooked yourself a Homer Simpson.

I Remember Summer…

I remember the smell of sea spray, rolling in from the south,

I remember the sweet smell of Pohutukawa flowers,

I remember the smell of sugary ice creams.

I’ll Miss you Summer

Written by Islay Bruce

I loathe winterWinter is fluffy warm jumpersWinter is snow blanketed green grass, standing highWinter is empty bare treesWinter is cold frozen feet

Winter is muddy damp shoes

Winter is frozen foggy breath

I loathe winter.

Written by Lilly Kluge-Brown

I like winter

Winter is warm jackets

Winter is a deep sleep

Winter is amazing animals snuggling together

Winter is fluffy moths

Winter is empty fruit bowls

Winter is flooded paddocks

Winter is whizzing windscreen wipers

Winter is frosty fingers

I like winter.

2015 – Critical Thinking

Trudi Bertie — Fri, 16 Oct 2015 07:04:26 +0000

Room 4 have been working together to think critically. We have been learning to analyse different advertisements, and to think deeper about what information is put in front of us. We have brainstormed and discussed what we think the messages are in the images, and how we feel about them.

2015 – Barge Park

This year we had our super star runners compete with the rest of Northland at the Barge Park Cross Country Tournament. Starkiss, Lahquetta, Lily S, Ashley, Anna, Taylor, and Xavier all competed. Although they did not place, they made us all very proud. Here are a few snaps from the day!

2015 – Koru Art

Trudi Bertie — Fri, 16 Oct 2015 06:32:13 +0000

Room 4 have been learning about using natural colours and blending colours into each other. They have been looking at space in pictures and how to make the eye draw to a particular area. The kid’s worked in groups on these projects. They look amazing! They are currently in the foyer, so come in and see them!

2015 – Calendar Art

Trudi Bertie — Fri, 16 Oct 2015 06:09:14 +0000

Room 4 have been learning about blending colours, and creating positive and negative space. We have focused our calendar art on ‘something from nature’ and have looked at past and present (you may even see some prehistoric creatures in the designs). Feel free to come into the classroom to check out our artwork at anytime.
