New Zealand Landscapes

On Thursday 5th September the Year 1 students went on a trip to North Head, Devonport. This term we have been learning about New Zealand landscapes and the natural and man-made features found within them. We got to explore the natural hills, rocks and beaches as well as the man-made tunnels, paths and trenches. We had a great time seeing and learning about new things!

Here is Nidhi exploring the canons with her friends.

Making Music

Elm Park School are lucky enough to have the best music teacher, Mrs D. This term we have been learning how to keep a beat and play some percussion instruments. All the children in Room 5 LOVE music! 

Here is Nidhi playing the lollipop drum. 

Junior School Assembly Performance

In Week 2 Room 5 were the presenters at the Junior School Assembly. We were lucky enough to wear traditional Tongan tapa and lei as we preformed a Tongan song called "Malimali Mai". Nidhi thought she looked just like Moana! Nidhi was also one of our presenters and had to talk into the microphone. She did a great job!

Portrait Art and Pirate Writing

This term Mrs Scott taught me how to draw a self portrait. First I sketched my portrait in my sketch book. After Mrs August enlarged this, I traced over the lines in vivid. Then I used water dissolvable pastels to add some colour and make my face look real. I added a pirate hat, some stitches and an eye patch to turn myself into a pirate!

"I am a pirate. I like to be on a boat".

Water Skills

This term we have been using the school swimming pool as part of our Water Skills unit. I am learning to be safe and confident in and around the water.

Welcome to Room 5

Welcome to my blog!
In 2019 I will be in Room 5 with Mrs August.
I can't wait to share my learning with you this year.

Sports

We are learning different ball skills.

Coach Cameron has been teaching us how to throw, catch and bounce a ball.

Here I am practising how to bounce a ball without stopping.

It is not easy but it is fun and by practising I know I will get better.
