For Topic, we wanted to teach people about places in the world or the location of mountains or volcanoes. We did this by making games that teach you about places. Here are some finished ones above!

Rocking Recorder

This term we have been doing a lot of recorder work. We have learnt the notes A,B,C,High D,Low D,E,F#,G. We have had lots of fun learning these notes and hope to learn more.

We have played in four assemblies and played a variety of songs that appealed to our audience. I know that my brother really liked one of the songs, the one called Apache, because he kept singing - in fact he's still singing it!

Mr Taylor is a pro recorder player so he teaches us heaps of songs and notes. Here is a picture and a video of us playing.

Walk about for art

YAY!!! Finally it was Wednesday, the day we had been waiting for. The painting and printing group were really excited because they finally got to do art outside instead of in the classroom. They sketched four different landscapes of the wharf, the estuary and the Smokehouse and the old Cool Store.







As a bonus we got to see Hamish, the white heron, who you do not see very often.

Here are some examples of the landscapes we drew. Don't they look awesome.
