Green Week

Green week- A gift for Mother Earth.

During week 8, Room 19 students had the opportunity to learn more about 3 different ways in which they could make a difference to our community and our beautiful planet.

Some students decided to learn more about the difference and the effects of tagging versus a mural. They learnt to appreciate the power of a mural and began designing a personal mural that represented them. They had to think about what images to include, the message they wanted their audience to get from their art and most importantly, consider the impact of art on their community as opposed to tagging. 

Mural in the making.

The other learning choice was to discover more about the PLASTIC BOTTLE. The learnt about how the plastic bottle is made and also some creative ways in which we could re use it again and again before we actually recycled it.

Gumball machine- Project that is still in the making!!!

Trash 2 Treasure. There is an old expression "one mans trash is another mans treasure".  Well here is just one of the many great ideas or ways in which we can turn trash into treasure.

Yussra used GOOS (Good On One Side) paper to make flowers for her parents. 

Speech time!!!

Some students like to give speeches, for some, just the thought of speaking in front of an audience is scary. It is never easy to stand confidently and share your ideas with others as they all look at you. But, it is something that definitely gets easier the more you do it. So, I would like to say that I am very PROUD of all of the students in Room 19 for having the courage to deliver their wonderful speeches in front of their peers (29 other people).

For our Kauri team speech final competition I only selected 4 students from our class. I selected the following students based on this criteria; topic, content was persuasive, excellent eye contact, they spoke at a good pace and their main points were developed well. Grace delivered a fantastic speech about bullying, Annalisse shared very valid and persuasive reasons about why we should not keep dolphins or whales in captivity, Nahlah who is very passionate about felines gave us very good reasons as to why we should adopt a cat and Melinda provided us with great  ideas about why our school should have a tuck shop.

We, the members of Room 19 were very proud of all of these AMAZING young learners you see in the photo below. The results are as follows;

Nahlah received 3rd place along with another student and Annalisse came 1st place and will be representing our school in the upcoming Inter-school competition.
