LOOMING AROUND.

Room 5 and their Year 8 Buddies didn't let the pouring rain dampen their spirits on Friday. Inside Room 5 it was a hive of activity, with tutorials being given all around on Looming ( little rubber bands)
Older children teaching younger children and younger children teaching older children!  
It was fantastic fun.


Thank you Mrs Kitto, for these great photos :)

CREATING TOTEM POLES WITH CLASSROOM MATERIALS.


Along with our Room 6 friends we are going to create totem poles made out of recycled cans. These will enhance our school environment. In Room 5 we are at the planning stage of the project and have been discovering a little about the history of totem poles and the different reasons people create them. Here are some totem poles we have made in our classroom using classroom materials.
