A fantastic Term 1

Room 19 is located in the computer suite and is made up of 27 awesome students.

We have had a terrific start to 2017 with an exciting first term!!

We have done so many cool things it's hard to know where to begin...

ART

We have been looking at palm trees painted by Paul Gauguin and during our day in the art room, we made our own designs. Using paint brushes and sponges we create our own palm trees with different textures and styles. It was fun seeing how just a tiny dab of paint on a sponge could make a beautiful cloud or a grassy hill.

 

PACIFICA SHOWCASE

Each year level chose a different Pacific island to study. The Year 4 team chose French Polynesia aka. Tahiti! We learnt a lot about Tahiti including the importance of the tattoos they wear and stories from Tahiti.

But the most fun came preparing for the Pacifica Showcase. We spent a few weeks practicing songs and dances from Tahiti to share with our friends and family. Then came the time that we got to make our own grass skirts to wear on the day. It was so much fun getting to tie the strands of the skirt together and watch an amazing piece of clothing come together. Needless to say, when the time came to perform we looked and sounded incredible.
