Video Report Term 2 Week 6

Thanks to Abbey and Madison for this week's video report!

The Big Clean

It became apparent we had not been looking after our lovely new tables and desks very well and that they really needed a clean.  So this morning, everyone got stuck in and got everything looking as good as new.  Nice work Room 5!  And here's the proof...

A New Sport for Room 5

Room 4 3/4 challenged us to a game of Ultimate Frisbee today.  Most of us weren't quite sure what that was, but we gave it a great go!  Now we're going to train in secret and challenge them to a rematch!

Iconic American music

Righty, our class is to come up with some suggestions for music tracks that the USA Railroad Journey themed models can strut the catwalk to in our Trash2Fashion Extravaganza.

'Party In the USA' is already being used as the intro music, so other thoughts?  Have a chat with your whanau - what are songs that are quintessentially USA?  Comment!

Life Education - Session 1

Today we had our first session in the Life Education truck with Ben, learning about keeping in balance.  We had lots of discussions about 'mind masters' and 'head hasslers'.  What does this mean to you?  Who or what is your mind master, and who or what is your head hassler?

Poem presentations

Today you all did a great job presenting your poems and your analysis of the poems to the class.  I thought it was great how different each of the presentations was!

As promised, the videos are not live here but have been shared with you through Google Drive.  Instead of a blog posting today, your task is to watch the video of your group doing their presentation and identify two things YOU did well.  I will ask you to write a short reflection in your Learning Journal tomorrow.
