Graffiti Group

This group read a journal about Write 4 Gold, which is a competition for graffiti artists to showcase their talents.They looked at how they plan their work and share a message. After practising online, the group worked in pairs to produce a message about what we had learnt during our sessions on the Life Education bus. Here is some of their work...

Anna and Tori's message, which has been selected to be shown inside the Life Education bus, and will travel all over
New Zealand. Well done girls for your fantatsic message!



Lance spread his message on his own, and what a fantastic girrafe!



Alicia and Bries message, with a super drawing of Harold! Nice work girls!

Music group presents their song.

Hana, Brandon, Kyle, Mardi and Adam  read about Nelson musician William Fairbairn, who was recording his own music at the of 7 years old. The group decided to try create their own song. To make the challenege easier they picked a piece of music that they knew and changed the lyrics. The message they are trying to show is for Christchurch to stay strong, and know that people are there to help them. Well done guys, you have worked hard and produce an awesome song!

Room 2's Sounds of Joy

We saw the advertisment by Cabury Chocolate, Sounds of Joy. Room 2 decided we would record some sounds of joy in our classroom. We put all the sounds together using Audacity, then loaded this to slides from our Kiwi as Day last term to produce this short film.

Listen carefully and see if you can hear these sounds recorded:

The shaker - used in class to get our attention, Miss Bibby's number count down - thats she does to get us to stop, look and listen, students playing P.E in the hall, a kick of the soccer ball, friends laughing and joking around.

You can also go on the Cabury Website and share our Sound of Joy! The link is Room 2's Sounds of Joy
