The Real Art Roadshow

This week we had The Real Art Roadshow parked at school. The Real Art Roadshow is a collection of real New Zealand art that travels to schools throughout the country. The mobile art gallery unfolds to form a 80 square metre space and displays over 60 original artworks by some of New Zealand’s leading artists.  To find out more follow the link : http://www.realartroadshow.co.nz/index.html

Room 2 loved visiting the gallery and below are some pictures of the students viewing and sketching the art, and some of the amazing sketches Room 2 completed.

Room 2's TV appearance on Campbell Live!

On Friday the 5th of September, Room's 2 and 5 appeared on the 3 News show Campbell Live as part of the report on the KidsCan Lunchbox Day collection. Students were asked to bring a can of food to school to donate to the KidsCan charity and reporters filmed students from all over New Zealand who took part in the collection. Room 2 performed their waiata Whakaronogo Ake Au and Room 5 helped load the cans we collected into the van.

You can watch the report on the 3 News on Demand link below. Lower Moutere School is featured at 12.12 mins into the report.

Austin's Salt Crystals

On Monday Austin bought some salt crystals to share for news. Below is the explanation he gave to the class on how he made them.

I made these crystals. It took two weeks to make them. I used two cups the same size, water, table salt and some string. We put the string inside the water with salt in it. The water went up the string and left the salt on the string.

Discovery

Discovery time on Friday mornings continues to be one of Room 2's favourite activities. This term's focus is all about participating and contributing. Check out some of the great fun and learning we have been taking part in.

Amby the Ambulance

On Thursday the 28th of August, Amby the Ambulance and Kathryn from St John visited Room's 1, 2 and 3, and taught us some basic first aid skills. We had lots of fun and even practised our bandaging and making 111 calls during Discovery time on Friday.
