Term+1

= Reflecting on Term 1﻿ ﻿   = In Term one we looked at 'Our Learning Community' and how we are part of a wider community of learners, that are not only in our school but in Rotorua, New Zealand and the World. As learners we related pictures to how we see Learning, for example; A Surfer-Learning is a journey and sometimes we feel like we are riding a wave, while other times we feel like we are at the bottom waiting for it to crash on us.. In Room 6 we decided that it is the tortoise that will sometimes win the race as he slowly and surely makes his way towards the finish line, keeping his focus on the goal ahead of him. Our next focus was on creating a self-portrait and to do this our class studied 2 different artists with very different styles. We chose the artist we wanted to use for our portrait and got to work! We had some great artwork and these are just a few of the different pieces.

The next great event of the term was the 'Run-Bike-Run'. Enjoyed by most, endured by some but everyone gave it a go!!
