What we've been doing

Rocket Art

On Thursday 25^th October the senior classes had an art day. Room 13 started off in 14. First and we designed our own rockets on paper, then we had to cut out the base shape of our rocket using coloured paper of our choice, next we cut out the nose cone and the fins on the side. The next thing we had to do was measure the width of the rocket and make the thruster (the bottom bit). We added a port hole and a little alien/ spaceman and added glitter for the exhaust fumes. Then we had to get even more creative, we created our own planets for decoration.

Now they are hanging neatly on our windows, they look sparkly and amazing!

Hot Air Balloons

In week 2 we made pictures of hot air balloons. First we made the clouds’ with a white pastel. Then we made the straps to hold the basket to the hot air balloons with a vivid. The next stage was to add the balloons. The final step was to dye the page and to not get it on the clouds. We then write on it where we wanted to travel.

Printing

In room 12 we did printing with Rae Hendry. First we got a polystyrene plate and with our pen/pencil we pushed so hard so it will make a dent. Then we drew a picture of a bird. Next we went to a ink table there was four colours black, yellow, orange and red. We rolled over it with a clean roller. When we thought it was done we took the piece of paper off and the bird was printed on the paper. After that we could add a background if we wanted to. The next day in room 13 we presented them on the wall.

Giant Butterfly

On art day in room 13 had a giant butterfly with lots of pieces to colour in. The senior classes coloured in pieces of the butterfly after they had finished their balloon art. We coloured it in with pastel then we put all the pieces together like a puzzle and put it on display.

Chess Tournament 

   

On Friday the 26^th of October some people went to the chess tournament. It was at the Hastings Sports Centre. When we got there we all got a different number on our hand. The first number was what year you were, the second number was your starting table number. We got a draw so you knew who you were facing, and told if we were going to use black or white chess pieces. Over the course of the day we all played 5 games of chess, each one was 20 minutes long. It was a great day. The most successful Bledisloe person was Humo who won 4 games out of 5 games.

Term 4 Sports

At the end of term 3 we had a meeting about the sports in term 4 and what sports we wanted to play. The sports were Cricket, Basketball and Vollyball.

This term we are doing Athletics in class P.E. We are split up into 4 ability groups and we rotate around each station. The stations are softball throw, high jump, long jump and running. We are training towards the interschool athletic tournament.

I SPY

Today we started planning our I SPY books which we are going to start creating next week.

They are based on the popular I SPY books that we all love to read and search for items.

We are working in pairs and we could select our own theme for our photo. Our job over the next few days is to start collecting bits and pieces which fit our selected theme and will be able to be included in our photo.

 

This cool website allows you to create you own pictures online and write the matching rhyming sentence. Great practice because our photos will have a sentence in a similar format to the books.

I am a verb song

We have done some learning about verbs, both in te reo maori and in class.
Mrs Colliss showed us a youtube video which teaches about verbs.

The Verb Song

We thought we would sing it to you. The boys are singing the first half and the girls the second. Who do you think sung it better?

 

 

 

Study Ladder

Today we started back at school for the first day of term 4!
Wow the year has gone fast!

Over the holidays Mrs Colliss signed us up to the website

www.studyladder.co.nz

We each got our own log in and when we sign into the account we can do activities that Mrs Colliss has assigned to us. When we complete the activities we gain points which we can then spent in the game.

We just had a look at it today and checked we could sign in and then tonight we can go onto the site and begin the activities. @e will have some time at school to work on the activities.

A good part of this website is Mrs Colliss can see when we logged in and then see who has gained the most points.

LAST DAY VIDEOS

On the last day of term Mrs Colliss had set up 9 large paper bags at the front of the room. They appeared to have something inside them but she wouldn’t tell us what! After a wet lunchtime we finally turned our attention to these bags.

All our names where placed in a container and groups of 3 names were pulled out.

These were our working group.

Next we had to send one person from our group up to select one of the 9 bags.

When we opened our bags we found some very random items, ranging from cat food to an xbox game, to washing powder to makeup.

The task had to do with advertising, which linked into our PrEP unit.

Our first task was to talk about the target group for each item.

Then we were given 20 minutes to plan and practice an advert for the product that we would then perform to the class (and camera).

We hope you enjoy them. Please remember they were filmed at the end of a very long term J

Basketball

Hello to my Basketball team.

I have received the details for our first game of the season. Which is on the first day of term 4.

It is 4.30pm at Centennial Hall against Onekawa Black. 

We will sort uniforms on Monday morning and I'll give you a copy of the draw. 

I hope you have all had a great break.

See you Monday 

:) Mrs Colliss
