Seniors

Room 6 and 9 have created Mathematical Dances. They used mathematical concepts like Number Reaction, Directions, Reflection, Rotation and 2D shapes. Can you tell which groups planned well and practised effectively? It makes all the difference!

Everyone

Next week all classes will begin dance. We will be exploring maths through the use of dance. The juniors will be focusing on shapes and the seniors focus will be on rotation, reflection, symmetry and directions.

Ukulele Group

We will have a lunchtime practise this Thursday at 12.30 in room 11 to prepare for this week's assembly. See you there!

Ukulele Group

Pakuranga Heights is just over the bridge. It is good to listen to other groups playing. What do you think?

Choir

Check out this local school choir. They are having a bit of fun with their song. Here is another school who sang in the National UK choral competition.

Everyone

Choir performed yesterday. For their first performance they did okay but have some things to work on. What do you think the choir could do to improve their performance? Have a listen to Isleworth School Choir who performed at the Cultural Festival in Christchurch, New Zealand on the 12th of September, 2011

Everyone

Have a look at this video. Check out the rhythms. What do you think?

Ukulele Group

We started learning "My Heart Will Go On" from the Titanic. Some of us are learning to play solo using Aldrine's tutorial.

After you all left I found more of a break down. Check out my class site and click on Aldrine's name to find it.

Choir

Choir will be performing at assembly tomorrow. Remember to let your parents know, they might be able to come and watch!

Seniors

Hope you have all remembered to let me know who is in your group and what music you need. Next week we begin creating our own clapping games to go with the music you have chosen.
