Suter Gallery - Maui Exhibition

On Thursday last week Room 3 went to the Suter Art Gallery. We sat down in the centre of the room while Esther explained a bit about the exhibition. next we were sent off into groups and talked about the art works. Our group talked about the monkey. It looked like it belonged at a temple. The parents wrote all of our ideas on a piece of paper. Esther stopped all the groups and everybody reported back and said their ideas. Then we got to do some art work of our own. The parents got silver building paper some scissors and a vivid pen and we copied shell shapes. then we went back to school. It was so exciting, I like going to the Suter!

Tutus on tour

Last Thursday some Nelson Central children went to see the ballet. It was called Tutus on tour. They were on tiptoes all the time! There were lots of girls dancing with boys. What a lot of dancers. There was break-dancing too! Some people had already been to see Tutus on tour but some had not. It was great fun and we were glad we went. We enjoyed it alot.

Rights and Responsibilities

A few weeks ago we made classroom rules. Some people had great ideas. First we talked about our rights and our responsibilities too. We decided that while we are at school we have a right to go to school, not to be disturbed, to work and concentrate, to listen, to be safe and have fun, to have friends and to have privacy
We also have a responsibility to be at school on time, to not disturb others, to ignore others and stay on task, to let people listen, to keep safe, to look after each other, to look after our things and our school and to touch only our own things.

Ballet

(Thanks to Sally and Helen for use of their photos!)
On Thursday some of Room 3 went to see the ballet. We went in a bus to a special performance just for children. It was not only ballet it was other dances too. A man did two back flips without stopping. There were some boys doing ballet with the girls. It was funny because it looked like some girls were fighting over one boy! They all looked really pretty.
I am really pleased I went to the ballet because it was great.

Drama

Jo is our drama teacher and on the first day we had to say “I am the ruler of the Universe” It was embarrassing. She chose two winners - one girl and one boy and the winners were Logan and Isabella.

On the second day we had to say “abracadabra” and also pretended we had won Lotto.

On day three we played shipwreck we had to go to port, starboard, scrubbing the decks, climbing the riggings, bombs ahead, man over board, captain’s drunk, shark and life boats. We always have fun at drama!
