Corrugated applique fish.

Room3 has been learning about sustainability so we have been making applique fish to hang underneath the netting which represents the river.To make the fish we had to get a piece of corrugated cardboard and draw a fish shape on the smooth side.We cut out our fish shape and made sure we have the corrugated on the right side.  Lastly we painted the backround of the fish with a light colour of our choice.The next day it was dry so we disign a patten on the fish.  I drew 3 triangles on one side and 3 twirly lines on the other side.The triangles represent the fins and and the twirly lines represent the gills.  After we completing this activity we had to sew the to sides of the fish together but we have to leave some space so we could stuff the fish with newspaper. We sewed it all up and then we hung the fish using a long string.

The Singing Stars

Hooray! The day has arrived. The singing pop stars have come to broadlands school so they can audition. Everybody was vocative to hear the singers magnificent  voice. We were all thrilled to hear their beautiful, sweet voices that sweapt us off our feet.  Before they auitioned they had to sing a song of their choice to room 3. Everybody was clapping. We thought that they all will make it in for a part in our school production. Whaea Margo and Mrs Sutherland are the judges and are going to pick the finalist.

Flooding In our classroom

Flooding in our classroom!

On Monday 28^th of May 2012.

Room 3 had an enormous flood in our classroom. When our teacher Whaea Margo stepped into our soggy, soaking, squishy, wet carpet she could smell the disgusting, vulgar stink in the air.

 Everybody was moaning because it smelted like something had died under our classroom. It could have been Mr Taylor because he has been away from school for a term. WE HOPE NOT!

Because of this strange stink in the air, from the carpet, Room 3 had to work in the learning centre which meant that all the other classes had to miss out changing their library books this week. HOW SAD!

 Today it still smells like rotten toe-jams, and we hope to be back in our cosy warm and beautiful classroom SOON. Hopefully the disgusting horrible smell will vanish away.

Claymation

Room 3 is learning about Sustainability. We had to make a storyboard about what our message was going to be and this helped us to sequence our ideas as well. This was awesome. Once we did the storyboard we created clay figures and filmed or took pictures of then to make a movie of them.  Piper and I chose to use a clayamation program.
Here is a picture of our clay figures.

Decorating pumice

This week room 3 had a beautiful teacher in our classroom called Mrs Sutherland.   We were learning about pumice. First we painted it light blue so the design on our rock will show. After we let it dry, we painted a fern design on our awesome pumice. We were all proud of our artwork because it looks great.
