Budding Musicians
Today we created music and sound effects to go with the story "We're Going on a Bear Hunt" We had fun finding out which instruments would make the best sound for the swishy swashy grass, the squelchy mud and the scary bear.
Then this afternoon we worked in groups to create our own sounds and beats. We practised writing these down using 'graphic notation'.
Check out the photos of our groups presenting to the class and the graphic notations they created.

Room 11's Flag Designs
For homework this week we designed a flag for New Zealand.
This morning in class we talked about our reasons for our flag designs.
We all voted for the designs we liked and ended up with three favourites.
Here they are and the reasons they were designed or chosen.
I chose this flag because I like the design with the stars on it and the flag on it.
From lochlan cockerell.
I chose a flag design that is called kore hearts. It has a river at the top.
By Poppy
Frank's design has a long white cloud, blue because we are surrounded by ocean and some features of the old flag.
Weekly Round Up Week 7
This week we thought we would share how we do our weekly round up.
Sometimes we write our ideas in our learning journals and other times we sit in groups and talk about our ideas.
Then we choose 6 people to wear the hats and ask the children to share their ideas.
We also have a 'Yeehaa' hat that we use at the end. Anyone can share something about their week that was great and we all say a big YEEEEHAAA!
