Term Two Reflection by Faafetai

Multimedia/ICT:
This term I have learnt how to make an IMovie by myself.

I have been making a Pop Art face and and making some animations.

What I haven’t done so well in Multimedia is not putting my work on my IMovie.

Next term I will improve putting my work on my IMovie.

Maths:
This term I have learnt my strategies with my teacher and decades with tens.

I have been good at counting back in tens and adding tens.

What I haven't done so well in Maths is not adding ones but I add the tens.

What I will improve next term is to write in my Maths book properly and not rush.

Reading:
This term I have learnt how to read books and complete my work in time.

I have been going up to the next level of my reading age and doing well with my reading comprehension.

The thing that I have not done so well in reading this term is not finishing off my work don’t do the answers of my reading sheet.

Next term I will improve my reading by finishing off my work and making sure I listen to my teacher when we are working together.

Miss Ouano's Birthday by Rave

Not Long after free time our teacher said to me and my friend “Could you Please go and get the GIANT Cupcake out of my car? ". Me and my friend replied “Okay”, so then we went to the carpark. When we got there we found her car and we saw the GIANT Cupcake! It had blue icing with hearts and stars sprinkles. 

When we got back to class we had a shared lunch. There were lots of chips and biscuits on the table, it was filled with goodies! In our class there are 30 children, so everybody had to bring some food. Some people bought biscuits and chips, I bought Jelly and Biscuits.

When me and my friend finished putting the goodies on the table we sat down and gave out the plates and napkins. After we finished handing out our teacher Miss Ouano cut the GIANT cupcake and asked us to come up to the table. She handed out some pieces to people. Meanwhile other people were lining up to get some food from the goodie table.

People lined up one by one and chose their food. After they went up to the table, more and more people went to go get their food. My class sat down on the mat and ate. We could go get more food if we wanted to and we could get more cake. After we ate there was a big mess so some people stayed and help my teacher clean up.

I hope next term we can have another shared lunch and bring more food. I hope it will be my teachers birthday again and we can have another GIANT Cupcake! It was yummy!

Gallery of Fine Art by Siutaka

This morning we went to the art gallery. I saw lots of cool art. I felt excited because it was my first time going in the art gallery, all of the art was excellent! When I got to the front of the hall I saw more fantastic art.

I saw my classmates artwork, it looked fantastic. I saw lots of good art work in the hall, there were lots of different types.                                                                        
                                                                                    My favorite

art work was by Taniela from room 15, he did lots of good bright colors in his painting.

I felt happy that I went to the art gallery because it was my first time. I hope we go there again and see all the beautiful artwork.

Youth Town by Korobeau

Did you know last week When I got to school I was so excited because Room 14 was going to Youth Town? When the second bell went I ran to class to go to the hall. At the hall we got into our groups and hopped on the bus.

When we got there all of us were happy to get in. Miss Ouano lead us to the room that we make clay ornaments in. The instructor was showing us how to make the ornaments then we started with the clay.

We were happy with our work that we made when were were all done. Then time was up, we all said bye because it was time to move on and get ready for the next thing. We got ready to swim.


I thought Youth Town was cool and exciting because we got to make clay and to swim in a heated pool. I hope next time we get to go there again!

My Pop Art Movie By Christian

I made a Pop Art animation of myself. I used the same colours just like Andy Warhol did.  I hope you enjoy my movie.

Spider Facts by Peh So

I have made a presentation all about spiders for my reading. I used my journal and a website to find information for my presentation. I hope you like it.

The Evil Tohunga by Damien

The seven whales went out to find food for them.

The evil Tohunga wanted them to get some news.

One of the whales was resting all day.

Seven whales turned into mountains.

Swimming by Lesieli

Filled with anticipation, we walked to the pools. I was really thrilled that we went cause I am kind of like a water freak. Like most people say 'First one in last one out'. I am always the first one in and I am always the last on out.  

Starring longley at the pool I wanted to dive in. "Slip in now girls” the Instructor said. My Feet slipped into the pool like a dolphin’s tail. Lying on my back my feet were kicking, the water was warm and relaxing around my body. As we slipped into the pool I dived like a dolphin. Coming up from the water our eyes were stinging red. We blinked away the burn.

In my group we did big strokes and kicking underwater it was really exhausting. Then we had to do three laps of the pool without stopping. If we did stop they cant mark us off. We went one by one without no stopping and when we finished our legs were numb. It was really weird because it felt like we didn’t have any legs.

My final feelings on swimming is that I need to get better at doing 'frog legs'. When i get better it will be Superb! I still need to get better at things and learn new skills. By the end of the year I will be a good swimmer.

My Dinosaur by Cowan

Last Tuesday we drew a dinosaur. It is a Tyrannosaurus.

It was cool drawing the Tyrannosaurus but I found it hard.

I helped to paint the background.

Andy Warhol's Style of Art by Nikki

Did you know a man called Andy warhol was a very good artist. He made a film about a man that was sleeping for six hours, that's why it was called 'SLEEP. Andy warhol did Pop Art and he did it in America where all the popular people lived. Andy painted Marilyn monroe who was an actress in movies. Andy also did pop art of the famous boxer Muhammed Ali.

The main reason why Andy Warhol is famous is because he was on of the first people to do POP ART. No one can do better pop art then him.Andy warhol’s POP ART is very famous and nearly everyone  knows how famous his art is. He takes photographs of celebrities and then he does pop art over it. If you do not know what POP ART is, pop art is when Andy Warhol does art of popular brands, popular people, and popular food and drinks.



Warhol’s art looks real and when he was doing his art he was using bold outlines and bright colours. In Andy Warhol’s art he inverted his colors. Andy Warhol used Silk Screening for some of his artwork. When Andy Warhol was doing his art he was doing it with concentration that's why his art looks real. His art is wonderful because when he did his pictures of Marilyn Monroe he made her eyes sparkle.



I like that Andy Warhol uses bold outlines and he uses detail. I think that Andy warhol would have loved creating art!

Andy Warhol's Pop Art by Jonson

There was an american artist, and his name was and Andy Warhol. He calls his art pop art.

He also painted and screen printed over photos of celebrities (famous people) like Marilyn Monroe and Mohammed Ali.

Andy Warhol  is so famous. His style of art is pop art. Pop art means popular art. Andy Warhol is so popular he draws things popular, like celebrities.

Did you know that Andy got shot three times by angry lady in 1968? He still survived. Warhol always draws simple strong shapes and then he screen prints it. He uses bright colours for his paintings. He made very popular paintings every time he painted. He uses a screen printer when he does his prints.

Overall, I think that was amazing what Andy Warhol has done in his life. He has done an excellent job. Andy Warhol is very popular, famous and so fantastic!

Paul's Last Day at Pt. England :(

Room 14 and Miss Ouano were very sad that it was Paul's Last day at Pt. England. Paul and his family are lucky enough to move across the ditch to Sydney, Australia!

Paul has been an outstanding member of our class! He is responsible, caring, always doing the right thing and always there to lend a helping hand!

We hope you enjoy your new school. We will miss you Paul! Love from Room 14! :)

No Camp for Me by Rebekah

Did you know that the year five and six had camp? I did not go to camp because I had chicken pox and that was not fun! I was all ready for camp, but then I got sick!  I missed out on all the fun and great activities. But it is OKAY!

I was very sad when camp started but it was alright staying at home. I do not like chicken pox ! If you had chicken pox when you were starting camp you will be very sad and disappointed too!

I did not get to sleep in a tent with my friends, but I think it was okay because they said that they were shivering and cold . I don't know if they like to sleep in a tent by themself because if they were sleeping by themself they would be very scared and afraid of the dark.

Do you like to sleep in a tent by yourself when you are having school camp? I don't think so. I would be so scared that I would get out of my tent and go to my friends tent and ask her if she can come and sleep with me. I did not want to get chicken pox when camp was starting but I had no choice. 

I wish that I could sleep in a tent when I am a year six. I really want to go to camp next year. I would be so excited and I would be very happy!

My Camp by Korobeau

Did you know that the year five and six boys and girls went to camp on Wednesday the fourteenth of March? We had lots of fun. We played a game called Get Lost, we also made dampers and smores.

When the bell rang, all of the teams lined up to do the first activity. My team played ping pong and rollerblading until morning tea.

After morning tea we played Top Team. We went against Miss Ouano's team. We had to chuck gumboots on the other teams castle! The funniest thing was the slingshot and the gumboot throw. We lost, but I had lots of fun.

On the last day of camp all of the teams went to swimarama. We were lucky to go on the Hydro Slide. It was so fun!

Overall, I really enjoyed kayaking the most. I enjoyed all of the other activities too. I wish it was a week long instead of three days. I still had fun.

My Birthday Treats by Rave

On a Friday Morning after assembly , Room fourteen were in for a scrumptious surprise.

My parents made some chocolate cupcakes with icing, filled with chocolate chips, vanilla and coconut. Theyalso made some fruit kebab's with marshmallows apples and bananas on a stick. “Mmmmm” I said. 

When I called out people to get their cupcake and fruit kebab, I had to call two boys
and two girls at time. When the boys and girls all got there cupcake and kebab, they could eat them. They were so delicious people wanted another cupcake and kebab!
There were leftovers, I gave the leftovers out on morning tea.

Room fourteen were feeling so excited and so happy because they were loving their cupcakes and the kebabs. I hope my next Birthday I can bring some more treats to school next year!

Room 14's Blindfold Experience!

Room fourteen were lucky enough to participate in a Blindfold Obstacle Course. This experience was to help us write a recount for our very important writing samples! 

There were a few bumps and falls, but overall Room fourteen had a lot of fun (including Miss Ouano). Please visit our individual blogs to see our amazing recounts about our exhilarating blindfold experience!
