Choir.

Choir, Drama and Music!

I wanted to join the choir because I like to sing and because it's so fun. Most of my friends joined in with me and we practiced the words together.Learning the words were sometimes boring but at least we got to perform in front of heaps of people. I made my parents proud that night. Here are the songs we performed at the town hall on our big choir night! Just simply press the link below. Hope you enjoy. Thanks!!!!

Maths.

This statistical investigation was a complete success. We got to sell the popcorn at our school gala and we made an amazing profit for our school. The profit went towards the school so that we could buy a school van for inter school sport day transportation.

Statements:

The most popular popcorn flavour was the smoky bbq flavour because 29 people loved it.

The least popular flavour were butter and chicken and only 4 people liked it.

The difference between the most popular flavour and the least popular flavour was 25%.

Density Lesson. Science.

Density: means the measure of how solid something is.

For Example:

• A desk
• The ground
• ect.

Prediction #1-No.1:

• When the oil is in the jar of water there could be bubbles floating around at the top.
• The water and the oil could mix together and the oil will end at the top of the jar.

Observation # 1-No.1 :

• As soon as the oil mixed with the water there were bubbles.
• The bubbles floated to the top of the jar, then the oil just stayed at the top of the jar and is now settled in it’s normal position.
• The oil is in one lane on the top of the jar.
• There are small tiny bubbles inside the oil lane.

Observation #2-No.2:

• The straw is sucking in the oil and water and letting it out when it is out of the jar.
• There are small bubbles everywhere.
• It looks like a tornado when you spin the straw really fast and hard.
• There is an oil layer and a bubble layer.
• The oil layer has gone bigger.
• There is no more clear water.
• The oil has turned into millions of bubbles.
• The oil looks a little bit clear but has a lot of bubbles in it.

Prediction #3-No.3:

• The food colouring might reach the water and change the waters colour or just mix with the oil and change the oil’s colour.
• The food colouring might sink to the bottom.
• The food colouring might make another layer.

Observation #3-No.3:

• the food colouring is mixing with the oil.
• The drops are dropping down from the oil layer.
• It is going to reach the water.
• It has reached it’s destination.
• The colouring is spreading out.
• When you mix it up it looks like jelly.
• It looks like a tornado when you spin it.

P.E this year!

Physical Education!

Basketball:

I am proud of basketball because the last time I played basketball I did not know how to play the actual game but now that I have been trained at school I know what to do! Now it is my third favourite  sport also because I like spinning the on my finger and passing it to my buddies.

The things that I can do now that I couldn’t do before are shooting the ball from a long distance, how to bounce the ball through my two legs and do passing tricks like putting the ball up on your head then fake passing it then shoot for a goal. I can now also do now is side stepping and dribbling the ball at the same time!  I got the best instructor/coach, teacher for basketball ever!!!!!!!

Room 15 Jigsaw Art

Self Assessment Form

Please make a copy before you begin!

1.I have used enlargement skills to create a jigsaw artwork with our class: Yes I reckon that my piece of the puzzle is creative, big and colourful!!!!!!!!!

2. I have used a range of pastel techniques:

I have definitely used most of the techniques and thats my favourite part!

3. I have looked closely at the colours on the small piece and used the same colours on the enlargement: I think that I have done most of my colour enlargement!

4. I have blended the pastels using different colours:

I blended some purple with the blue to make it look like the right texture. I love it.

5. What I would do differently next time:

I would lighten the colours a bit and blend/swipe my colours to make a perfect piece.

6. Other comments (what I like best and why, what I don’t like and why):

I loved my art techniques, the one with the orange stripes spread out on the yellow background. This is my positive, I have no negatives.

I LOVE MY ART WORK!!!!!!!!

Miss Lewis’ Comments (leave this space for Miss Lewis to complete):

I agree with you Fa’asua, you have done a great job. Your blending using shades of orange and yellow looks really effective and you have created depth.
