Pool Crazyness

What would you do if you went to your friend's house for a visit, but when you got there your friend went mental? During the holidays I went to play at my friend's house.  At first everything was cool.  We played some card games and then we started playing pool.  Half way through the game, my friend started acting crazy, he flicked one of the balls into the air and it almost broke the tv.  Then the game came to an end!

I didn't know what to do, but I felt happy because I wanted to see what would happen next.  It was exciting because I thought he would get a big growling.  I was also feeling a bit awkward because I didn't want to get in trouble too.

In this case, what would you have done?  What do you think I did next?

Welcome Back to School

I hope the holidays were restful and that you've returned reinvigorated!  This week we will be launching into Volleyball.  What are your favourite things about playing volleyball??  Do you have some room for improvement?  How do you think you can overcome these difficulties? Let's get going!

Dexter's Deep Sea Discovery

WOW! The last day of term and we all went to tAPAC.  We were all lucky enough to receive free tickets to enjoy Dexter's Deep Sea Discovery. We had the theater to ourselves, we got up close and personal with the actors and we shared it all with our buddies in rooms 14 and 18.

Collaborating with Room 20

Our projects and presentations have been completed and we checked for understanding using Kahoot. The Room 20 students got to use Kahoot to answer 9 questions all about Matariki and their work with their Room 15 teacher.
Collaborating with Room 20 gave us a chance to be teachers.  It takes some different skills to be an effective teacher and knowing the ways in which we learn is an important step in this process.  

Room 15's Georgia O'Keefe Art Gallery

The pieces of work were ready to go. Everyone had carefully studied the steps and processes used by Georgia O'Keeffe and then you applied what you'd observed to the creation of your own pieces. You studied the minute details, you transformed that small keyhole observation to a canvas, to a print and to a stiff board. You used pencils, pastels, paints, tissue and glue. You observed, contemplated, discussed, made, revised, and executed. Last night, Caleb, Sara, Dorian R and Dorian P, Tania, Ishita and Wynstan stepped up and into the role of host. They greeted people and then walked them through our gallery explaining the steps and processes. They shared some information about the artist, Georgia O'Keeffe and told tales about our creations. They represented you all very well and received many compliments for the fine job they each did. Well done to you all!

The Great New Windsor Art Exhibition

Today was the day! We finally had the opportunity to walk around and admire all the art created by our peers.  What a wonderful display of all the creative abilities which exist here at NWS. If you've got the chance please drop in for a look - 3:15 - 7:15 tomorrow night!! Come along you won't regret it!
