Shake out day in Rom Kea!

We listened to the radio all morning waiting for the event to happen! We did so well! Room Kea no knows how to stay safe in the event of an earthquake.
What a great exercise for NZ to do!

How Can I Keep Myself Healthy and Safe

This week we have been learning about healthy eating. Room Kea made group decisions about what group our food belonged in.
There was a big conversation trying to convince many of the boys that chocolate biscuits were in fact a sometimes food and not a healthy choice like fruit.

INDIA

This term we have been learning about INDIA!
Our big question was -
'How would my life be the same of different if I lived in India?'

We have been focusing on the Indian slums, their Bolly Wood styled dance, traditional patterns, clothing and food.
Room 1 has found this very interesting with many of the children deciding that India is not a place they would like to live after learning about the slums.

Alice Holland has been creating and teaching us about rangoli patterns as she has been to India twice.

 

Reuben Patterson

Room One has been learning about a famous NZ artist called Reuben Patterson. We have been focussing on his amazing glitter  art work. After seeing a piece of his work on the "Arts Road Show bus'' we were interested in learning more.

Reuben Patterson

Reuben uses his Maori background as a focus for much of his work. The koru is throughout many of his glitter pieces. He has also gone onto printing his work on to clothing creating jackets and pants out of glitter fabric.

Here are some of our takes on his work!
