Filming of Little Red Rocking Hood!

We have been busy filming 'Little Red Rocking Hood' and it hasn't been as easy as first thought. We've had a big learning curve with using a blue screen. Even "blue" and not "yellow" lighting is needed as well as a wrinkle-free screen.
We nearly had it right today but have discovered that you can't wear any shades of gray, purple, green, or pink with the blue screen unless you want an invisible body!!

Te Papa Visit

We had a trip into Te Papa today and got to see members of the NZSO perform for us. It was a fantastic time! We had already been on the "LEARNZ" field trip with the Christchurch Symphony Orchestra so knew what to expect, but nothing beats a live performance!

Market Day Term 3

We had another sensational Market Day, raising over $1000- and all for our Year 6 camp at the end of the year. Our class was looking at improving and refining our stalls this time round, using the SOLO taxonomy as a guide. (click on the chart to enlarge)

Tawa Goes To Town

We had a special guest at school today.
Mrs Murray, from Tawa College, came over to help us with our songs for the music festival. We only have 29 days to go until the big night! (See the side bar for more info)

Rakau

We have been having fun making our own rakau sticks and learning to use Te Rakau for the stick song 'E papa Waiari'.

Violin and Viola

Mrs Brieseman brought her violin and viola along to school today. We all got a go at playing the viola and violin. The viola is heavier and bigger than the violin.
Now we know the difference between the violin and viola. And of course the viola is the best instrument in the whole wide world!
