Our Fit for Life Inquiry

Below are some photos of our final fitness circuit!

Over the past six weeks, Room 6 has chosen the inquiry topic 'Fit for Life'. This topic is about why having a fit and healthy lifestyle can benefit us in life.We thought that when you are leading this lifestyle, although challenging, can give us a happy and full life. We came up with these questions that we would like to think about:
How do you become fit? And
What does being fit look like to you?
In class we thought about these and came up with some answers. Come into class too see our thoughts about this inquiry topic.

Market/Games day

What an amazing job our students did with fundraising for Christchurch students...We raised over $1000!!! There are photos to come soon of our special day on Friday...

Week 5 More of our work...

One day I was just sitting with my friend watching tv. I was busting to go to the toilet but Iwas watching a really good show, so I was going to go in the break.

"Okay, heres the break, I'll go now"... oh, now it's the news bulletin. "I will just watch this" I say to my friend Sally. "Breaking news, there is a murderer loose in the area". "Bam! Do you want a new toothbrush?" "Boring" I say and skip to the loo.

"Agghhh... HELP!!!" I hear coming from outside the toilet. Who is that? It sounds like Sally. I better go and help her but I'm still on the toilet... I better hurry and then sprint to her. I finish and sprint off to the living room towards where the noise had come from. "OH NO!" Where is Sally? She is gone.. what am I going to do?

I sit down and think about could have happened in the two minutes I was in the loo. It's a bit crazy when you come to think of it. Then it just hit me (literally hit me). I mean I fell off my chair and whacked my head on the coffee table. "Ouch!". While I am now holding a bag of frozen peas to my head I start to think again about where Sally could be. Then I start to wonder is it... could it be... the murderer on the news?! I hear another scream, this time from the hallway! I run to the hall and find Sally sitting there with a rug around her mouth. Just as I go towards her to take the rug out of her mouth the murderer appears! I run down the stairs but I trip and land awkwardly. Above me is a dark figure... the next thing I know Sally and I are heading into an abandoned building... OH NO!!!  to be continued...

Week 5 Room 6 work

Skating

As the wind rushes against my face I smell feet. BANG!

Im at roller skating and I have just collided with another boy. The boy helps me up and I keep on skating. I look around the skating rink and I can see my mum, sister, Joel, Lisa and my mums friend. Joel and I are having heaps of races and we keep on falling over ourselves as well as other’s falling over in front of us which makes us also fall over more, we end up laughing heaps!

We skate for about 1 and a half hours. Then all of a sudden my mums friend Leonie falls over and breaks her ankle. So now we begin the trip to the hospital. As we all walk into the hospital the overwhelming scent of microshield lotion hits our nostrils. I can sense the fear I see on Leonie’s face as she makes her way to triage. I see all the doctors looking at her leg. And I hear the doctors around her talking frantically. I hope that Leonie is okay as we all had a fabulous day and don’t want to spoil it! ...

This is our hundertwasser artwork 

Term 4 - Week 3

This is an updated work of art based on Hundertwasser. We are getting very excited seeing these pictures come to life. We will share with you another one when the pastel is finished.

Term 4 - Week 3

We have been working hard to learn our Mihi's to share with you. A mihi is a welcome or introduction of ourselves and our families. We share about where we were born, where we live, what our mountain is, our river and our land. We hope you enjoy watching our Mihi's and learning about who we are.

Term 4 - Week 2 (Freischund Hundertwasser)

Hundertwasser toilet block in Kawa Kawa

Hundertwasser in New Zealand 1988

This term we have been focusing our art on the famous artist Freischund Hundertwasser. We have to paint a Hundertwasser village and make a collage of one of his buildings. Here are some facts about Frieschund Hundertwasser:
-  He was fascinated by spirals and called straight lines the 'Devil's Tools'.
- His name means Peace-Kingdom Hundred-Water.

Rebekah's draft of a Hundertwasser Village

He was born in Austria but decided he would rather reside in the beautiful landscapes of Aotearoa. He is famous for designing the toilet block in Kawa Kawa in the North Island. Attached is a photo of those famous toilets. Also we wanted to share with you one draft of the Hundertwasser village. Enjoy.

Term 4 - Week 2 Blog

This term our class was chosen to be reading mentors for our Buddy class (Room 12). Each of us have been given a student to read with and listen to. Our job is to Pause, prompt and praise as we listen to them read. Sarah from the RTLB came in to train us up to be great mentors. We have been having a great time being good role models.
