Testing!

We have started testing to gather data for reporting back to whanau later this term and some interesting results have started to come through.
So far Room 14 has completed the IKAN test (Maths knowledge) and Basic Facts test.
IKAN results:
Arabella and Chris both scored a massive Stage 8 (the highest stage) jumping 2 Stage levels - they are expected to be at Stage 6!
Zyra, Eleanor, Kelsey, Jake and Scott jumped one Stage to reach Stage 6. The remainder of the class maintained their levels from the beginning of the year.
Basic Facts results:
Arabella jumped 3 sub-levels and scored 4A! Sophie and AJ improved 2 sub-levels and scored 3P.
Scott and Eleanor both moved up 1 sub-level, while Jaime-Lee, Tom, Jake, and Cody remained sitting comfortably on 4A.
At Year 6 the children are expected to be at Level 3, while at Year 8 they should be at Level 4, so for our Year 7's at this stage of the year, they should at least be sitting on 3A ready to move into 4B.
Remember that Basic Facts is a weekly homework activity that students so be doing, along with a minimum of 1 hour per week on Mathletics.

Screenprint imprints

I was inspired by the world wars and how we made friends and started to come together as one whole big family nearly.

I used the craft knife, which is a lot easier to do circles and because of the lighter colour, it made the imprint of the one that was before mine.

Screenprinting is real easy to do - you just need to think of a design and put a little bit of paint on the screen, then put your design under it and then go over it with a squeegee twice - once if possible, and you are ready to do another one.

I chose to screenprint because screenprinting is pretty cool and easy to do, and you can think of lots of designs to do and with the small amount of time, you can do heaps!

This is what happens when you learn a dance!

"MAMA DON'T ALLOW"

"MAMA DON'T ALLOW" by Flexitoon Puppets is a funny song about how your mum isn't letting you play music in the house. The puppets have re-released this song.
We are going to perform it at this Friday's assembly and watch out in the front, because I will be playing the guitar!
