Dance Preview...

Room 30 have been working so hard to show their learning around the big idea 'Connected?' in the form of dance this term. There has been a lot of teamwork, collaboration, problem solving and self-management - not to mention the amazing dance movements that have been created.

We share next week...but here is a little sneak peek.

Auckland Art Gallery - Last visit

The final visit by the Auckland Art Gallery and Judy Darragh allowed for the final sharing of the Creative Learning Centre design and also for Room 30 students to create some sculptures that will be used as part of the space.

It has been a fantastic and memorable journey and we certainly look forward to the grand opening of this amazing new installation.

Room 30 SPCA Day

Room 30 pulled out all the stops for their SPCA day today. We had a range of activities ranging from a movie room, obstacle course, face painting, disco, and Dominate hair product for sale.

All students did an amazing job and ran their activities with such a high level of organisation and maturity we could have easily forgotten that they were Year 4!!

We raised a total of $473.10 for the SPCA. What a great effort!

Anzac Day

While Andrew has been away our relieving teacher Sana has helped us continue on our amazing learning journeys.

We celebrated Anzac Day by thinking of the men and women that helped our country be a place in which we are free to be who we are, express ourselves freely and if we set our minds to it - be whatever we want to be.

The Art Gallery Project

Room 30 have been privileged this term to work with the Auckland Art Gallery and renowned New Zealand artist Judy Darragh. The project involves Room 30 working with these amazing experts to assist and help plan for a new Creative Learning Centre at the gallery for later this year.

The aim for this project is to involve the students in all phases of the process; from generating ideas, analysing potential problems and solutions, to evaluating the final designs. This is the first time that young people have been involved, so we are very privileged to be taking part in this collaborative venture.

The video below is taken from the 3 working sessions we have had. The next visit will be in May to discuss and critique the design options. What a great learning experience!

CIB Sharing

Room 30 has been learning about animals and topics that apply to animals and have done some fact finding research.

This involved identifying what we already knew or thought we knew and adding new found facts to our knowledge. To share we had a choice of video, sound recordings, slide shows, drama and posters.

We had our presentations and showed our facts in a creative way. Here is one example of a slideshow:
