Term 4 -Week 6

Room 9 has just started working with clay. We learnt the skill of joining clay pieces together by making coil pots. First we rolled some clay out flat and cut a circle for the base. Next we rolled the clay between our hands to make sauasages. We had to try and make our sausages even in diameter. Then we coiled them around the base. To join the coils together we roughed up the surface of the clay with a toothbrush and dipped our finger in water and ran it over the top. The clay then acted like a glue. We carefully joined out
coils together. When they were dry we pained them in a bright
colour. Take a look!

Term 4 - Week 5

Our Athletics Day was held on Friday. There were many events to compete in and we had lots of fun. It was Room 9's first carnival and everyone tried their very best. We can't wait to have another go next year!!

Term 4 - Week 4

This week Room 9 has been publishing on our Writing Blog. In class we read the story of the The Three Little Pigs. Room 9 was then asked to look at the story from the pigs perspective or the wolfs perspective. We then wrote a police interview to record what happened.

The kids would love you to make a comment about their writing.
To do this look for the writing link on the Room 9 blog. Click on your child's name, then at the bottom of their piece of writing click on "comments". Write your comment in the box and click on publish comment.

We look forward to reading your comments!

Term 4 – Week 3

This week was a busy week as we have been working hard on assessment tasks. We took some time out from our demanding schedule to do some artwork. Have a look at our fantastic geckos. We used a resist technique. First we used oil pastels to outline our gecko then we used ink to colour the body. The ink was resisted by the oil pastel – that’s how we managed to stay in the lines. They are really colourful so we have displayed them in the corridor outside our room for everyone to look at.
Have a look for yourself!
