Art Works Inspired By Paul Klee
Art Inspired By Paul Klee on PhotoPeach
WALT..
To use primary colours to mix shades of primary and tertiary colours.
Success Criteria
I have used secondary and tertiary colours to complete a portrait, in the surrealist style of Paul Klee.
We were given white, red, yellow and blue paint to create our pictures. It was difficult to get the correct shades we wanted.

Yesterday I went to Room 17 and made ninja stars. I made a star box as well . It was quite hard but it worked out in the end. Riley

Middles Cross Country, Picnic and Pool Fun Day
A Glimpse of Cross Country, Picnic and Pool on PhotoPeach
On the day of the cross country I felt very nervous . I had been training for it for a while now. The middle team walked to Kettle Park for the Cross Country. When we got there Mrs Wood had a talk to us. The year fours were last to run. I came fifth in my cross country race.
Afterwards we had a picnic at the park and walked to the salt water pool to have a swim. I got dressed a bit earlier than the others.
When we got back to the school the bell had just rung. What a big day! Blake

Senior Production
The Senior Production was on Friday the 9th. They sang Love, Love, Love, Count on Me and One Step Two Step. They used drums, boxes, tins and stools to create a fantastic drum beat. When they moved position to play class songs they used this and to me it looked like they were playing musical statues.
My brother George was also in the performance. he was in the front row. When they sang Count on Me he used a microphone with another boy called Nick. We all saw it after lunch and it was amazing.
Have you ever been in a performance. Well this is one not to miss! Samantha
On Friday the 9th of December the seniors had there stupendous production. They had an entrance song on the marimbas. I thought it was cool. No one told me Manawa was playing the entrance song on the Sopranos, though I was amazed with it. The seniors did lots of songs and pieces. My legs hurt from the long walk we had done to get to the PAC Centre. I did not know what my brothers piece of music was called but it was amazing. Some people thought it was just good but I corrected them saying “no it was amazing I actually thought it was STUPENDOUS!!!”. My favourite part was room 13’s marimba part because my brother was in it with Mr Hunter. They did some fantastic songs. One step two steps was my favourite. At the end the year 6’s did a play saying goodbye. I thought people were about to cry but I wasn’t going to because I knew I would see most of my brothers friends again. I knew I would see Jack and my brother again most of all because Jack is my brothers best friend, so I didn’t have to worry as much as other people.

The senior production was great. My favourite
performance of the lot was the high five performance. Me and Riley were setting beside each other. Riley had a really cool toy with him. The production took until home time. When the screen said room 12 performs Scooby doo they were lying, but I didn’t mind. I just kept on watching the show. The seniors must have of put a lot of practice into the production. Jonathan
YAY! When I am a senior I’ll do the senior production as well! Last Friday the middles and juniors went to watch the senior production. Mrs Faithful said that we could go for lunch. And Then we had a play and the hand bell rang so we all lined up on our class number. Our class strolled to the PAC Centre. Then we sat down and we all went quiet because the production was about to start. The music started to play. The seniors played the marimbas Mrs Caldwell she helped the seniors keep the right time. My favourite part was when they sang Count on Me. They did a fantastic job on their production. They had lots of music and lots of singing. Emily

Talking to England, Cheshire
Monday morning Rm 8 Skyped Sylvie! We asked her some questions and we found out...
She is in Cheshire England. It is Sunday at 8pm while it was 9am Monday here 13 hours ahead of her. Money in England is called Pounds. To get from Austria where she had been skiing she had to take two buses, 4 trains and a 2hr flight - image how long that would take. We looked at the atlas and saw that it is quite a distance.
We also saw an amazing decorated Christmas tree and meet Amber her grandmothers beautiful white fluffy cat.
We signed off saying Merry Christmas and see you in the New Year. Jemma

Sylvie in Austria
We enjoyed hearing from Sylvie Via Skype - she has posted this on our wiki page.
SNOW IN AUSTRIA
When I was in Austria, the
snow didn’t come for 4 days! But we didn’t go skiing until Thursday because the
ski fields aren’t open till then. We stayed at a guest house called Hotel
Sursilva and it was on the side of a mountain in a little village called Lech.
On Monday morning, mum woke me up and shouted ‘ The snow has come! Look out the
window.’ So I looked out the window and mum was right… the roofs of houses were
covered with snow, the ground had snow about 2
