Down the back of the chair

 

 Here are some of the items we found down the back of the chair. Sophie found 20c too, and she brought it in to give to World Vision - what a lovely idea.

Our new friends

 Our new friends are Kyle, Cameron and Hayley. We are enjoying having them as part of Ruma Ono.

 

Today we read this book in class.    What can you find down the back of the chair at your house?

We looked in the couch in our room and found.....

a scrunched up hair tie, and a purple piece of paper. Exciting stuff!! Leave comments below with what you find at home, down the back of the chair.

Sketching daffodils

 

Today we applied our newly learned sketching techniques to sketch these still life daffodils. We really looked carefully at the flowers in the vase and at what angles they were at, how their heights compared, and we applied our shading techniques.

 

We realised that all our sketches would look slightly different because we were all sitting in a circle looking at them from various angles.

 

Miss Eyre was so impressed with how carefully we looked at the daffodils and sketched what we saw. We even got to sign our names, and the year like all artists do.

 

Look at some of our beautiful sketches!

 

 

Following this, some students wanted to sketch Miss Eyre. Here are some artistic samples of their work which capture Miss Eyre perfectly.  

Don't let the pigeon drive the bus

Here is a video of one of our favourite characters - Pigeon. He was created by the author and illustrator Mo Willems.

Enjoy. We always do!

We have been at school for 100 days!!

 

Yesterday we celebrated being at school for 100 days.

 

Look at our awesome collection of 100 items. What can you see?

 

We then counted 100 steps from the edge of the courts. Look how far we got!

 

Our shared lunch was delicious. We finished the day with a disco. What a day!!

Pyjama Day

Here we are in our PJ's, or kakahu moe. What a fun day we had! There was a parade after Jump Jam, followed by banana fritters and milos with Room 7. Tell your family about your favourite part of today.

When we were the bosses!

Here we are at assembly sharing our rules if we were the boss of Ruma Ono.
