Jump Jam














This term we have been doing Jump Jam. Today we get to dress up in whatever we want. At lunch time we are going to do Jump Jam for parents, teachers and family. After that we have a BBQ and parents can take their chidren home. People came dressed up as lots of different things you can see them in the photos.

This Week


This week, we are having a fancy dress up day,and a BBQ. I dressed up as PJ MAN! Everyone thought my costume was funny.

And we also made maori cloaks. And we had to use rubbings with pastels. Then we had to dye the pieces of paper in different colours. And we ripped the paper up and stuck them on. And the last thing we did was put the string thing on top.IT WAS AWESOME!!!


Cloaks




We made cloaks. Haikal and I are in different groups so we had different cloaks and colours. Daniel had a koru in the middle of it and Haikal had a diamond in the middle of it. We ended up with a really big cloak. It took us four days.

Jump Jam


Every day we do Jump Jam in the school library. It is heaps of fun. We do five different songs called witch doctor,morning,candy man,who let the dogs out and a Maori one. Each one has heaps of different moves. On the second of July we are performing for our parents and we will be dressed up in different clothes so we will look cool.

Cloaks




We have been learning about Maori cloaks this week.
For our cloak we used: brown paper, tape and glue and crepe paper they ended up like this:







We really enjoyed making cloaks and we hope we can make them again.

Maori cloaks.



This week we made cloaks. First we had to draw our designs on paper, we made rubbings on uneven surfaces,we took turns to do different jobs like ripping, glueing and sticking.It had a lot of colors, it looked so good. It was such fun.

The Enormous Crocodile




The room 1's made an enormous crocodile. It was green and slimy with pieces of green tissue-paper all over it. I liked it and so did all the other students in room 4. It is up on the library wall which I think is really cool. It looks awesome in the library.
