Year 5-8 Wearable Arts Rehearsal

This afternoon Room 4 was lucky enough to be invited to the dress rehearsal of Muritai School's 2009 wearable arts show titled "A night at the museum". After we watched the show the children returned to class to discuss what they thought about it and how it made them feel. There was a range of responses from several children expressing that it made them feel good, happy, excited, and / or scared. It took awhile for them to work out that some of the costumes actually had people inside them that they couldn't see! They identified that the music, costumes and lights changed how they were feeling at the time.

Skipping

Every morning we go out into the quad to practise our skipping. Most of us found this really hard at the start because we didn't know when to jump, or how to avoid hitting ourselves with the skipping rope. Now most of us can do ten skips in a row without tripping over the rope! We are really happy now that we find it easy. Here are some pictures of us skipping on a sunny morning.

ICT

Each week our buddies from Room 7 visit us in Room 4. We have just started school and really enjoy visits from the 'older' children.

Today, Room 7 helped us during ICT time. They taught us how to use a mouse properly, and how to draw a picture using KidPix. We were very excited when we realised we could make the computer draw and write things. It was lots of fun drawing our own pictures. There was lots of laughter!

Art Expo

Years 1 - 4 students at Muritai School recently held an art exhibition displaying various pieces of work they have be working on during term 3. Room 4 spent some time looking at these various pieces of work and then had to choose their favourite and give an explanation as to why they thought it was a good piece of work. Their critiques were recorded on the videos posted below.
