Celebration hats

In room 5 we have been learning about celebrations so we made hats that would show us celebrating special events. Some people celebrated Matariki and Halloween and Anzac Day and other special events.
Room 13 showed us their hats that they had made and we showed them ours. When our buddies came to our class we showed them our hats as well.
"I made a hat that showed a Matariki celebration," said Josh.

"I made a hat that showed a Christmas celebration," said Isi.

"I made a hat that showed a Matariki celebration," said Evie

"I made a hat that showed a Halloween celebration," said Joe R.

"I made a hat that showed a New Year celebration," said Bella.

A Visit From a Famous New Zealand Author

It's the Nelson Arts Festival this week and some people from Room 5 have already performed with the choir at the Red Square in town. Lots of us watched the Mask Parade and Rohan went to see "In the Deep End"
Last week a new children's book called "Herbert the Brave Sea Dog" was launched. It's a true story about a dog that was washed overboard in the sea near French Pass. Room 5 were lucky to get a visit from Robyn, who wrote and illustrated the book.

"I think Robyn is very skilled at drawing," said Josh.
"I think Robyn has probably been practising nearly all her life, because she's so good," said Sam.
"I really enjoyed reading the book and looking at the illustrations," said Hannah.
"I liked the end papers because they show Herbert's journey," said Evie.
"I think Robyn takes a lot of care with her work," said Thomas.
"It was amazing how Robyn drew that picture of Herbert and the dolphin for us to keep, in three minutes," said Ella.

George's First Day at Nelson Central School

We are going to create a new blog so Room 5 in Nelson can leave postings about George's adventures. We will invite Room 5 in Cambodia to tell us what Wiki has been doing too.

Rooms 5 & 6 have been getting together this week to0 do team building activities so we are all ready to get along well together on camp. Yesterday we pretended that the adventure playground was full of flesh eating fish and we had to get our teams across from one side to the other using only two little mats. Today we worked with a partner on the blindfold walk.

You will see George, having fun in the photos. Later on we will research monkeys so we can learn more about George's family.

I found this blingy thing for blogs in the holidays and I thought that this could be a fun thing to do on our blogs when we have finished making movies and camp shows. I tried to make her look and sound a bit like me. Hope you like her.
