Spaced Out!

The Apollo 11 Paintings

Watch this space for the movies which will give you a closer view of these magnificent paintings and a voiceover comment from each artist. We are looking forward to beginning to make our aliens next.

D.I.Y. Display Space

We have a great place to learn and be together in Room 16. There is lots of lovely light and and fresh air. There hasn't been much space for displaying all the wonderful work you do though. Thanks to Dad we now have four new display places. Here is a photo of Dad putting a few finishing touches on our display frames.

More Play Performances

At last the final two groups had the chance to perform their plays for Rooms 3 and 21. After that Room 3 performed the play The Hole in the King's Sock by Dot Meharry for us!

Pay it Forward

Our hearts and minds have been with the community of Greymouth. After all the support and kind wishes we received from others after the earthquake, the children were keen to send some love and support to the children in schools on the West Coast. The children made beautiful pictures and wrote thoughtful messages and we have sent the card to Paparoa Ranges School which is near Blackball.

Performance Season

We have been practising and performing plays in Room 16 recently. Some groups have performed to other classes and others are waiting for the opportunity to do so.  Here are some snap shots of the action.

This weekend is the BIG weekend!

Support Our Year Four Movie Makers.

If you go this website you will get the opportunity to look at the movies made by some Year Four children about why St Albans School is the best school. The movie that gets viewed the most often wins the competition.
When I watched the movies I noticed that Room 16 children were in many of the photos. Can you find yourself?

Taking our surveys on the road.

Finding out about Room 17's reading habits.

Surveys are fun to design and carry  out. The children had to design a question about reading and select 4 options for people to choose from. Next they had to make a prediction about what the results would be. They went to Room 17 to carry out the survey. When they got back to Room 16 they had to write statements about what they did discover. Some people's predictions were correct, but others got a surprise.
