Assembly Item Week 9

This term for ART we have been learning about perspective photography.  How to create optical illusions in photos.
WE are presenting some of them at assembly on Friday and will print out our best ones before the end of the term.
Here are some examples:

ANZAC biscuits

MYtime

In Room 1 every Wednesday we have MYtime - this is a time where Room 1 students get to learn what they want to learn about.  They plan out how to spend their time, there is a outcome at the end and they monitor how they are going against the outcome.
This term we have outcomes like: learning to code, sewing a dress from scratch, baking, building a model car from recycled materials, becoming better soccer players, improved basketball skills and photography to name a few.
We will share our outcomes in our blogs later on this term.

TO MINE OR NOT TO MINE? WHAT IS YOUR OPINION?

Last Friday the Senior Syndicate spend the day in Waihi exploring into mining.  We spend time at the Newmont Education centre with Phillip panning for gold, making slide shows, finding facts and learning about underground mining.
We also went on a bus tour with Murray learning about tailing, the future of the mine and looking down at the open pit mine.
Our third activity was at the new Gold Discovery Centre where some students experienced drilling, entered the ghost theatre and spent time at the different displays around the centre.

CHOCOLATE TIME AGAIN!
