Art time

Ramare 28 Here-turi-koka

This week in Room 11 have been doing art prints with Mrs McNab from Aratoi (Art Gallery in Masterton). First of all we had to draw a composition of three kiwiana objects. Then we placed a clear piece of plastic over there art. Next, we had to get a really sharp nail and scratch over the lines of our kiwiana composition and scratch into the plastic. When they done that they went over to Room 15 to print them off.

Last week Georgia and Giorgia went to the boiler room to ask Mr Andrews, the school caretaker about how our school is heated in the winter time.

We talked to Mr Andrews about coal, the heating of the school and how he likes working with the boilers.
Giorgia took some photos of the boiler room and me trying to lift the the coal and I took one of her.The coal is very heavy and the cheapest way of heating the school.
Greytown school buys Pea coal because its the cheapest.
We asked Mr Andrews what is it like to work in the boiler room?
He said"it is cool but you have to be careful in there.

This term our focus is on Electricity. We have been making circuits and learning about the different sources of energy generation.

Over the last few week, students' have been making new discoveries around the topic of electricity, and have come up with questions about the topic.

They are now currently researching their questions, and finding out new information in their area of interest.

We have groups working on "Which electricity is the best in terms of cost and environmental impact" to "How much electricity is the school using and areas where we can save on power".

In week 10, the students will be sharing their keynote presentation on their findings to the Karaka Syndicate.

Room 11 will also be recording the progress of our inquries and other events happening in our classroom while reflecting on their new learning, daily on our class blog site.

Week 8 is Teacher-Student-Parent conferences, where the students will be able to discuss and showcase their learning from the last two terms.
