Zyra paints Aimee

This is my painting of Aimee and it was inspired by Paul Gauguin. Paul Gauguin's style is painting the people around him, and seeing as Aimee was sitting next to me I painted her.

We had to do a black outline of everything, and not apply too much detail and use bright colours.

My painting looks cool and pretty, but I forgot to put Aimee's glasses on her.

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.

New Uniform for the NZ Commonwealth Team

I made some clothes for the doll using paper. I coloured it in black with a silver fern logo- the silver fren pretty much represents NZ. I made it short sleeved, with mini shorts - that's the normal outfit. I made normal togs with a little logo.

Kids for Kids fantastic night!

Eleanor, Sophie, Arabella, Shay, Kelsey, Sian and Zyra had a spectacular time last night singing in the Kids for Kids concert at the Pukekohe Town Hall.
We were so proud of them as they captured the audience's attention and lit up the hall with excitment and spectacularly super sweet singing!
Tia, another Waiuku student performed 'Over the rainbow' like a professional.
It was so much fun for both the children and the audience.
