Wentworth has talent!

Today we were treated to a special performance by one of our Year 4 friends.  

She showed us the Hulusi - a Chinese instrument, also known as the Cucurbit Flute.

We were fascinated by the different tones the flute could make and we even thought that it reminded us of the sounds of Bagpipe music.

Listen to this excellent rendition of 'Mary had a Little Lamb' - we even joined in for a little 'sing-along'.

Laptop fun!

Computational Thinking as a curriculum subject encompasses learning in areas such as ICT, Programming, E-safety and Digital Media.

This week we deviated from our Bee Bot work to focus on getting to grips with the fundamentals of a laptop.  We loved exploring the magical powers of the 'Backspace', 'Caps Lock' and 'Enter' functions on our keyboard.  

   

We will continue to navigate our way around a laptop ensuing that we are able to open, use and close 'Word' documents independently.

Karearea can RUN!

The weather was kind as our Karearea lined up for the start of our annual cross-country event.

Each member of the Year 1 class set themselves a goal and worked hard towards reaching this target during training sessions, in preparation for the big day!

It was a fun event......

almost as much fun as the ice-block we had at the end of the race!

Have a look at some of our Karearea class in full 'flight'!

The warm-up

On your marks, Get set, GO!

All finished!  Well done Karearea!

Hei Tiki

Welcome to Term 3.

We have had an extremely busy start to our new term and we are very excited about the School Production that will be taking place in the final week of Term 3.

During Week 2 we began our introduction to Sculpture and our focus has been on the Hei Tiki.  

We are beginning to understand the significance of the Tiki and we are designing our own Hei Tiki.  

Have a look at our designs!
