Stage One performance

This week a large portion of Room 5 students performed on Stage One in the choir as part of the Nelson Arts Festival. Check them out singing our school song Ki Runga Rawa - Aim High especially written by Kath Bee.

The Masked Parade

Yesterday the hours of hard work we had put into making our masks and practicing our dance moves all paid off. The final result of our Alice n Wonderland theme was amazing! From the cute little bunny rabbits of Kowhai, to the Cheshire Cats of Pohutakawa, Eat Me and Drink me from Te Pouahi, the shuffling cards from Totara and last but not least the Mad Hatters from Kahikatea. Seven Sharp from TV One were also at the Masked Parade. Check out our very own Charle being interviewed and Torfun from Totara.

Popping Party and MadHatters

In the last week of term we worked hard on two projects. We finally completed our masks for the Nelson Masked Parade. Our Madhatter hats look fabulous! We can't wait to see how the rest of our schools Alice in Wonderland theme comes together.

We also had a lot of fun writing popcorn poetry. Our poems were free verse poems which we all enjoyed writing. We think you should Pop on in to check them out!

Painting, pop-ups and planets!

It has been all go this week in Room 5. We have been working hard on several big projects. This week we spent a bit of time painting and completing the first steps for the annual Nelson Mask Parade. Our school wide theme is Alice in Wonderland and our syndicate are the Mad hatters. Our masks are beginning to take shape and we can't wait to have them completed.

We finished our pop-up book this week. Our book titled Room 5's voyage into space gone wrong is a faction. Brenda taught us that a faction is a mixture between fiction and faction. We all worked very hard typing up the text on the computer and then adding our pictures and 3D elements. Our book was launched to our parents on Friday with a round of applause. 

 On Friday afternoon we also presented our planet presentations. This was the result of a lot of hard work researching the information and then using it to create a google presentation. Sally was very impressed as we all presented them to an audience of over 40 people. You can check out our presentations on our blogs.

Popular Planets!!!

A few weeks ago Sally told us that we were studying planets.We got to work straight to work. First Sally put us in groups. Then Sally asked us to look up facts on the computer and in books. Next we
