 Reading Slideshows 

By Joyce

Students have been reading novels in class and answered several different questions to create a slideshow about the book they were reading. These two girls are committed to their learning and have finished their work quickly.  Click on their names to link to their work.  They have both researched extra information on themes that are in the book Crown Park by Des Hunt,
a great New Zealand writer.


More slideshows will be shown on students independent blogs when Room 9 start to blog for
themselves. We have been working on Limelight by Tania Roxborough and Store Trek by Kate Foxlee

Poems about Camp

Muriwai Camp Acrostic Poems 

Acrostic poems are a great way to get all kinds of feelings, thoughts, experiences and opinions down for others to read. Using the different experiences we had we wrote poems about that topic. 

Anti- Bullying Week.

Anti- Bullying Week.

Caroline used a classic
stop symbol and cut some
of the lettering

Sadie used strong colour
and large font

Back in May we did lots of work around Anti-bullying. We designed t-shirts for our walls throughout the school. Here are some examples from Room 9. We thought about grabbing the viewer's attention with different elements like colour, font colour and size, illustrations, symbols or signs and phrases etc.

       

Benson used 3 colours all
with important meaning 

Charlotte used quotes from
Dr Seuss  that were relevant
to the message

We also read a book by Tim Tipene called Bullies and Warriors

Dora had an excellent set of responses to the book
