Special Syndicate Assembly

Yesterday Room 6 led the junior syndicate assembly. We were a success! A few people were away so we had to quickly have new people to take their place, and everyone did really well.

Here we are sitting waiting to start with all of our work to share.

We showed everyone our singing and rapping of the song Team Ball Player Thing and our Zentangle art in the shape of the rugby world cup trophy. We reminded everyone to bring their books back to school from when they had been taken home and to make sure their rubbish was in the bin.

Miss Walters was especially proud of us for rapping the part in Team Ball Player Thing as we had practiced it at school and then kept practicing at home so we were heaps better and ready for assembly! Everyone in the syndicate sung along with us on the chorus and looked like they were enjoying themselves.

Musical Madness

Today Room 6 went to the music room again to practice Twinkle Twinkle Little Star as a round! We tried really hard and practised it a few times but one group always seemed to get mixed up!

We're going to practice it one more time next week, but we decided we would get some great practice by playing together as one big team and work hard so that it sounded great for our syndicate assembly on Monday! Have a listen below.





We're going to be working to put together an assembly for next week and we wanted to share a preview - we're also going to be singing a very special song that was only released 4 days ago! I wonder if you can guess what it is? Keep your eyes and ears open for more lovely music coming out of the windows and doors of Room 6!

Great Golfers!

Every Thursday morning for the rest of this term, Room 6 is having special PE lessons with Shannon to teach us how to play golf!

We are very lucky to have these lovely lessons and Miss Walters is going to take some photos and videos each week while we have our special lessons - perhaps we might find New Zealand's next golfing superstar in our class?

See if you can spot the important things to remember when you're learning to play golf from some of our photos!

Some of our favourite things were hitting the tennis ball with a golf club so they stuck to the sticky target. We got to shout 'SNAG' when the ball hit the yellow target that looked like a bullseye. We also rolled the ball into a yellow hoop! Then we use a sticky flag target and we had to try and roll the ball onto the sticky flag target and get 2 points!

Jazer's favourite part was the challenge where we had to get seven 'SNAG's and then do our best dance moves, push ups or star jumps. Peni even challenged Shannon to do five push ups and everyone laughed together!

Magnificent Music

Yesterday afternoon we went to the music room and practiced playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star! 

First we sang along in words while Miss Walters played it on the marimba and then we did it again singing the notes we would play on our xylophones. 

In case you were wondering the notes are:

CC GG AA G,

FF EE DD C,

GG FF EE D,

We practiced a few times and then Miss Walters filmed us using the tablet and sang the letters along to help us. We did really well for a first try and Miss Walters was very proud and impressed with us!
