Rm 9 Art with Mrs King

One afternoon Mrs King said that we will do some creative art. She also showed us some creative art for some inspiration. Then she gave us a piece of paper. First we started to think for ideas. Mrs King gave us some suggestions. I did one of Mrs King's suggestions which was a hidden face. It turned out not that bad and I really am very happy with it. By Hannah

Tennis Time!

I am very glad the rain didn't start until after we had started Tennis today! After being stuck inside for all of this week so far it was fantastic to get outside and have a run around. 
We had a 45 minute lesson with Gareth and we learned about having a rally. Tomorrow will be great because we will be learning to play the game. It had better not rain.

Soap carving

Yesterday we did soap carving with Mr Kaukau he is Maori. He told us a story about his family and how they had to remember stuff and that they didn't have books. After his story we did soap carving. It was cool because only the year 6 got to do it, but at lunch time Luseta got to make one. I think that was not fair for the other year 5 people. When I was doing my carving mine looked weird, but there was more carving to do so I did it. Then the teachers and staff members had to cut the outside of it. But it still looked weird then Mr Kaukau cut a bit off it and it looked way better. I stuck paua shells on my fish hook. We said our Mihi and he started crying and he said it was tears of joy. At fthe end of the lesson we didn't get to take them home yet because he had to spray varnish on it to make it not soapy. By Tamatea

Soap carving.

Last week Miles matua Kau Kau came in room nine to tech the year sixes how to soap carve.So the bell rang and the year sixes where ready to learn how to soap carve.When we sat on our seats in front of us where tolls to use to carve the soap an there where brushes to clean of the little bits off the soap.So we thought that we where going to start right away but he was talking about why the boys have to protect the girls.it was boring but it was important to know that your parents are important to you.
