 Room 5  Recently the Ranfurly Shield,won by the Canterbury Rugby Football team, visited our school. The children were all very excited to be able to be up close and even able to touch it!! We are all hoping that our team can keep it till next season!!!!    In recent weeks Room 5 children have been learning about about wool and how to knit!   In these pictures Suzanne Baldwin showed the children how to spin the wool and how to use the "nilly noddy" to wind the wool into hanks ready for washing. Here are the children working very hard to master the art of knitting. They all had to concentrate very hard to make their peggy square.   The children had wonderful help from four Mums - Helen Blanchett, Erin Gilmour, Deb Greene and Shiona Morrison.Thank you ladies!!   The Peggy squares are going to be made into cushions for our School library.     At the end of last term our school held Book Week. In Room 5 we studied the author Roald Dahl. We discussed his books,learned about his life and found out how he got his ideas for writing his wonderful children's books. On Friday we all dressed up as our favourite book character. Don't we all look great!!!    Room 5 children are using Media Blender on the laptops to design our special "taongas". When we are happy with our designs we will be painting them on our piece of class artwork to go into our International Garden.     Last week we held "Play Week" as part of our Reading programme. Everyone practised hard during the week and performed them on Friday for the rest of the Junior school. We all loved participating in "Play Week"    Room 5 children have been studying "growing things". They have grown wheat men and sunflowers. They listened to the story "Camille" and then pretended they were budding van Gogh's and painted their own sunflowers. Here they are very busy creating their masterpieces.
