Well done Room 4 on your Sasa performed at school assembly. A Samoan Sasa is a traditional Samoan dance sitting on the floor that uses beat patterns. Check out the video of our performance. 

Room 4 had such a fun time at Camp Columba! We got to take part in so many activities including rock climbing, abseiling, kayaking, bush craft, team building, low ropes, flying fox, flying weka and many more! We would like to say a huge thank you to the parents that came along and helped us. Here are a few photos of our trip.

Part of the low ropes- Chelsea climbing high!

Yay we got ours to float!

Team building- we made it the whole way!

 

                              Welcome back for Term 2!

This week in Room 4 we have been looking at ANZAC Day and those who fought for us. On Monday Miss Devaney gave each table group a picture of something to do with ANZAC that had been cut up and we had to put it back together. After we had completed the jigsaw we then had to make a statement for each picture about what was happening in the pictures.

Today we had Mrs Zoutenbier-Bisset teaching us. She did a fun writing task with us! We got given pictures and used a 5 W`s chart (What, Who, Why, When, and Where) to put down all of our ideas about the picture. Then we drafted a story about our picture and published it.

Sophie and Chelsea publishing, it looks great!

Check out the wonderful students in Room 4! Don`t we all look great. Keep checking our blog to keep up to date with our learning during the year.

In Room 4 we have been looking at relationships with ourselves, others and God. We had to think about what we wanted to be when we grow up and draw a self portrait of this. Our self portraits started out as stick figures and transformed from there. We finished them by adding photographs of our real heads.
