Are we acting in a sustainable manner at school?

 

Some of the class had some understanding of what it means to be sustainable. They explained their ideas to the class. We then watched the top two videos and read some articles in school journals to expand our learning further. We're going to create an acrostic poem with our understanding of sustainability.

Sunflower buddy planting - Room 9 and 4

ROOM 9 & 4 SUNFLOWERS!

On Friday Rm 9 & 4 planted sunflowers! We went to the nursery with our buddies in groups of 5. First the room 9 students put a rubber glove on one hand and scooped up soil into both pots. Then the room 9 student poked a hole in the soil with their rubber glove hand and the room 4 buddy chose 2 seeds and put them in the holes and covered them up. After that we wrote our names on the tape and stuck it on our pot and placed them outside room nine. We had an awesome time planting our sun flowers and can't wait to see them grow! Thank you to Willow, Violette and her family for donating the sunflower seeds.

Keith Haring Style Art

KIETH HARING ART

THIS TERM ROOM 9 HAVE BEEN WORKING ON SOME "KEITH HARING" ART. WE ALL ENJOYED DOING OUR ART WORK AND WE HOPE YOU LIKE THEM TOO. IF YOU WANT YOU SHOULD TRY MAKING YOUR OWN "KEITH HARING" ART. BE CREATIVE AND USE YOUR OWN STYLE. DON'T BE AFRAID TO BE DIFFERENT. IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO KEITH HARING ART USE WATER COLOUR, DYE AND A VIVID PEN.

WRITTEN BY ALYSSA LAMB AND OLIVIA COOK

In Term 3 we started doing some Keith Haring art which is Pop Art. First we did a draft of the picture we wanted to do. Next we drew the final on a A4 piece of paper (we had to do movement lines for affect). After that we either dyed or water coloured inside our paintings and then we did the same for the background. Finally we went around all our lines in vivid.

Hope you like them! Written by Oliver.
