Respect Comics

Our virtue for this term is Respect, so we made comics to show situations involving respect on Comic Life. a program on the Mac. The teacher let us choose groups, gave us a camera and we acted out the role play and took pictures. When we had taken enough pictures we came back in and uploaded the pictures into Comic life. Then we put speech bubbles in and gave it colour. 

Here are some of the ones people in our class have done:
                  This one is done by Jessica, Kara and Josh.
                 This one is done by Kodi, Darrian and Matt.
And this one is done by Caitlin, Sally and Milena.

The Wonderful Room 18 Thingamee's!

In Room 18 we have been making Thingamee's. These are our mascots for the year. First we drafted them in our books and then we made them out of plastecine and got the ideas from our books.

Ourselves as Super Heroes!

                                                                       Super Heroes                     In class we have started an art project called Super Heroes where we have to design a Super Hero that relates to us. We have to design it to look like us in some way,and it has to have one 'super power' and we also have to name them. 

We think that our whole class is having fun with this project and as you can see here are some pictures of our Super Heroes. We hope you like them!

There are also pictures of our four fish which are in our classroom. Their names are Ginger,Mullet, Boris and one other fat fish that we have not named yet. We hope you enjoy the pictures we have taken for you to see.

machines that we used.

This is Tane drilling 

his money box.

This week at Woodwork we made a money box. We started off with a rectangular piece of Pinus Radiata timber, then we used the hole saw to cut a hole in the middle of the 

timber, then we sanded the rough hole with yellow and silver sand paper. Mr Swain cut the timber into the shape we wanted it, then we sanded the shape. To cut the money hole we used the horizontal boiling machine and Mr Swain cut some glass to put some glass on our money box.

Technology Challenge!

Room 18's co-operative challenge was to make a rain coat out of five plastic bags, a pair of scissors and two metres of cellotape. They had twenty minutes to do this, in groups of five. The raincoat had to be modeled on a student, be durable and keep them dry obviously! These are the results! Some are thorough, some are creative and some are downright crazy. Spot the feline theme raincoat!
