Drama Photos

In our third session of drama, we made 'photograph' poses to represent the beginning, middle and end of the story Giraffe's Can't Dance.

In the beginning, Gerald is left out while the other animals dance
In the middle, Gerald is talking to a cricket in the moonlight
At the end, Gerald is the star of the show while the other animals watch amazed.

Here are our photos.

Drama

We are lucky to have Megan and Grayson teaching us drama.
Today we were working on high and low shapes.
Here are a few pics.

 

Pepeha

Room 19 have been learning about introducing ourselves in Te Reo Maori with a short pepeha.
Alongside this we've been creating artworks of our maunga (mountain),
awa/moana (river/ocean) and waka.
We think they look amazing!
Here is a sneak peek!

Visiting Chinese Musicians

On Monday we were fortunate to have some Chinese musicians come and perform for us. There were nine performers with different Chinese instruments including:
 Xiao - a Chinese flute,
 Erhu - single string bowed instrument,
 Zither hit string instrument,
 Pipa - plucked stringed instrument (held on knee)
Guzheng - plucked horizontal instrument (horizontal on a stand)

Some Year 4 students danced to some of the songs.

 Harry: It was amazing to see how well those people played their instruments
