PRODUCTION SONGS

Today, each child was sent home with a copy of the words for our production songs.  Please practise as much as you can!  Thank you.

THE LORAX

Mrs McCulley read us the story of 'The Lorax' and we talked about how important it was to look after our environment. We then created amazing pieces of artwork!

DUNEDIN SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

Today members of the Dunedin Symphony Orchestra visited our school.  They took us on a musical journey through the centuries and taught us about lots of different instruments.  We especially enjoyed when they played the theme song for 'The Simpsons'.

SAMARA & EMILY'S AMAZING LADDER BRIDGE

For their optional extra for homework, Samara and Emily made a powerpoint about the amazing ladder bridge they built.  Thanks for sharing girls!

PERFORMING PLAYS

As part of our reading programme, we have been practising and performing plays.  Yesterday afternoon we shared our plays with the class.  Our plays were very entertaining!  Great work Room 11!

SCHOOL PRODUCTION - SPORTS GROUP

For the children that are part of the Sports Group in our School Production, here is the video clip of the dance that we are learning. Remember you only need to learn the moves to the first 2 minutes and 8 seconds. Have fun practising!

BAKE SALE FOR THE CHIMPANZEES

Tarrah has been showing compassion this week and is concerned about chimpanzees and how their natural habitat is being destroyed.  Tarrah, along with Lexi and Milly are going to hold a 'Bake Sale' for the children of Room 11 on Monday at morning tea time.  All of their baking will be 10c to $2.  All of the money they make will be donated to help the chimpanzees.

AMANDA'S LEARNING COMMITMENT

Amanda has an amazing strength in music.  She talked to us about learning to play the violin and played several songs with her sister.  Well done, Amanda!  Thank you for playing for us!
