Tie Dye T-Shirts with Room 23

 In  room 23 this term we have been focusing on colour in our Art Alive inquiry and how colour makes us feel. We have created lots of artwork using colour and have been inspired by famous artists such as Kandinsky, Monet, Andy Warhol and his pop art. Experimenting with pastels, paint, and dye we even tie-dyed our own t-shirts. 

Inquiry Writing

It is that time where we give the students a writing experience to write a recount on for E-asTTle test. We came up with an idea that was so much fun. The students were excited, we gave no clues away until the very moment they were about to start. This experience tied in well with our whole school inquiry of Art Alive. We colour, skills, teamwork and patients. The outcome was a piece of art to display in the classroom and a cool experience to write a recount.

Inquiring into Reading

Tongan Language Week in Room 23

Exercise at Level 3

 What do you do when it's pouring with rain outside and it's windy and cold? Well, here at Bubble School we exercise dance style with Mr Samuels and Mr Nua. A big shout out to these guys for just being here and helping support our Tamariki during this time.

                               

Back to School at Level 3

 So here we are again in Alert Level 3.  Bubble School has started with a safe learning environment for our students of essential workers. 

Today I decided to, with the 3 students I had today, to get Cody Rockey out and learn more about how these Robots work through coding. Thanks to Eve who taught us a few essential basic codes to get Cody Rocky moving.

                                

Manaiakalani Create Workshops

 Manaiakalani Schools in the Tamaki cluster got the opportunity to learn about things that you might have been wondering about. My first workshop was coding, this was difficult and a lot to take in for an afternoon. For someone that knows very little about coding, a step by step break down of how to make a code instead of trying to work out what the code was, would have been helpful to me. My second workshop was more coding but with robots. We used the program scratch to enter a code to make our robot talk and move. It was an interesting afternoon.

I need to find time to practise what we learned this afternoon. Thanks to all who planned and shared with us this afternoon.
