Next term Theo will be joining Room 4. He spent the morning in our class on Friday and had a fantastic day. He wrote a funny poem while in Room 4.
I eat...

I eat guns,
I eat germs,
I eat people
full of worms!

I eat sharks,
I eat peas,
I eat noses
mixed with fleas!

Well done Theo. We're all looking forward to you joining our class.

The Len Lye experience written by Ellie and Francesca

Yesterday Room 4, Miss Bain and some lovely parents went to the art gallery in the city to learn about Len Lye. We all went in different cars. I went in David's huge car. When we first got there a lady called Rebecca said she'd show us some sculptures. My favourite sculpture was Storm King because it was made out of silver shiny metal which is my favourite colour. At first it was soft and gentle, then it looked like a dolphin dancing. It sounded like a snow storm when the thin piece of metal hit the huge long thick piece of metal. Ellie

Yesterday Room 4, Miss Bain and some parents went to the amazing art gallery in New Plymouth which is very old. We all went in different cars. When we got there we had a little talk about the rules in the art gallery. A lady showed us around and her name was Rebecca. My favourite sculpture was the last one she showed us and it was the Fountain. It's my favourite because it's pretty and interesting. It had a black base and golden bits poking out of it. It had a golden flash of light streaming down on it. On the roof it made a beautiful shape in a circle. Francesca

The old house written by David Marriot

Last week Room 4, Room 3, Miss Bain and Mrs Johnson walked to the oldest house in Oakura. We went because our topic is about the olden days. Next we started to draw the house. Is was a one story building. The windows had a frame around them and so did the door. The roof was bumpy. It was green, white and blue. In the olden days it was used as a stable for cows and horses.

Buddy reading

Every Tuesday Room 4 share books with Room 9. The children have enjoyed reading to each other and discussing different parts of the story.

Chloe impressed us with her violin skills this week in our Music lesson. Chloe was playing her violin along to some music. We are learning to sing and play music to the song Gina written by Jon Madin.

Cross country fun

This week the annual Junior cross country race was held. Many children in Room 4 were excited and some were even a little nervous. Every child ran there best and enjoyed the event. Well done to all the runners.
