The Moon by Sienna

The Moon

The first men on the moon were two Americans. Their names were… Neil Armstrong and Edwin Aldrin (Buzz is his nickname).

Did You Know:
The moon is big but, is only about quarter the size of earth. The moon is made out of rock, minerals and dust. It looks small but, is big. It has HUGE and tiny craters on its surface.

Fun Fact:
Some people believe that their is a man in the moon. But, they also say the moon is made out of cheese! With both of those, they are just myths.

The moon is an interesting thing to learn and explore about.

Giraffes Can't Dance

We enjoyed the story Giraffes Can't Dance by Giles Andreae. It taught us to understand that we can all do things that others don't expect us to We can have a growth mindset and give everything a go even if we don't achieve it yet. Our artwork was inspired by the book's illustrator, Guy Parker Rees.

TeTuhi Art Trip

This week we visited Te Tuhi to make etching artworks representing New Zealand. Salome gave us instructions to make an artwork using the letters of our sentence, AOTEAROA A SPECIAL PLACE  TO LIVE. Our finished works are displayed in our classroom.

Sienna's Buzzy Description of our Class

Buzzy Room 18

Room 18 is like a bunch of bees producing rich golden honey, then repeating
our hard work again. It gets easier and easier as we go because our Queen
Bee (Mrs Morris) and her helper bee (Mrs Medland)  helps us produce it. In our
busy hive we have 16 busy girl bees and 14 busy boy bees.

I am Sienna and I have lots of friends. They are: Jade, Jessica, Kaya, Caprice,
Toia, Sophia, Sammy, Alice, Cassie, Sonia, Jing, Emily, Natasha and Bella.

My favourite subjects at school are: Reading, Writing, Art, Handwriting and
Word study.

Every day we hand out CFBG cards (CFBG cards also means Caught For
Being Good). We also have News, Reading, SSR and so much more.

At our School we have GEMS (which means Growth, Empathy, Mana and
Self-belief).

Our class is the best and the busiest class in this school! We are a class that
loves to share and that will continue to do so.
