We ran our Senior School assembly today...

...and did a fantastic job!  So much more confidence since our production!  Big ups to Room 9 for presenting your parts with confident voices and looking up at the audience occasionally!

A super shout out to our Techies - Amber and Jack who set up our sound system and laptop.  Amber made sure our video and projections were timed perfectly and Jack's job was to ensure the volume of the mic and video were ear friendly!

Our newsreport crew - Holly, Jack and Amber through a video clip, introduced Room 9's learning "news report" style and set the tone for our assembly as a reporter/interviewee situation.

Our gymnastics experts Emma H, Maya, Kobe, Toby and Nathan C deserve a special mention for showcasing their skills:
forwards rolls, forward straddle rolls, dive rolls, backwards rolls, backwards straddle rolls, handstands into forward rolls, back handsprings, back flips and a round off into a back hand spring!  Just to be specific!

Ka mau te wehi Room 9!

Wearable Arts

Last Friday 3 classes took a trip to the museum to check out the Wearable Arts Exhibition.  While we couldn't take photos of the costumes, we were able to take photos of the fabulous head pieces we made to show off under UV light.

Through this activity we learned there are many different techniques we can use to change a plain piece of paper (+ sellotape & scissors) into a funky piece of wearable art!

Also having seen the costume exhibition and delving more into what the inspiration was for some of them, I think we are ready to see where our collective creative minds will take us.

The UV glow moment!

Exercises to Energise

The words on the page start to blur, our eyes narrow and our eyelids droop, slowly, slowly they close... until we find ourselves staring at the inside of our eyelids...  Wake up!  Time for an Energiser!

Here's an example of an energizer that Jack and Joel got us right into:
