Self Portraits

Sandra Silberzweig

We watched a presentation about Sandra Silverzswig art. She is a contemporary artist who lives in Canada. She has a condition called Synesthesia which means she sees things in lots of colours and sees sounds as colour and tastes words and feels things on her skin when she smells different things. We love her art and decided to do our portraits. Some of used the glue technique and some of us just went straight to pastel work. It was really interesting to see how we say things.

                 

School Kit Writing

We took part in a School Kit sponsored by The Warehouse. We had an amazing time writing poems and looking at the maps. We have had to wait over lockdown and them some to receive our parcel from our partner school but are really impressed with the work we sent and the interesting  place and street names they found in NZ

ANZAC SERVICE

During Lockdown four of us worked on Hangouts with the teacher and we had an ANZAC service. The Englebrestein family lived near the school so they made some wreaths from egg cartons (the teacher put the task out on one of her planning sheets ) and went down and laid some wreaths and their mum filmed it. This was our first time working live stream and we made many mistakes (listen to the singing of the national anthem) but we are very proud of ourselves.

KINDNESS

We have been thinking about how important it is to show kindness to everyone and have been trying to do this.

We were able to do any sort of creative presentation on paper or the computer about kindness. We also wrote a script and put together a live stream assembly about kindness.
 Kindness Assembly Have a look it is really interesting. We did lots of writing filming and editing.

Superheros

SUPERHEROS

We identified our strengths and how we coped with lockdown, coming back to school and the changes that had to be made for us all to feel safe. We then had to make a presentation about our strengths using the words we had found and described ourselves with.

When this was done we then redesigned ourselves as A SUPERHERO who would save the world from COVID 19 with our strengths. We planned our coloured a paper copy of ourselves and then made a digital copy to match it as closely as we could.

After we had done this we had to write a narrative or a newspaper report about how we saved the world using our strengths.

COVID 19 Experience

Our COVID 19 Experiences

We have done a lot of work, sharing and talking about our experiences in lockdown. For many of us, the daily hangout was really important as it was a time to socialise as well as catch up with teacher instructions, do some puzzles and quizzes together. The teacher started by doing the quizzes and puzzles but some students asked to do it so it became a shared activity for some of due to work together on hangouts and build it for the next day.

School Kit Resilience

Resilience

We have worked with the School kit and learnt a lot about ourselves and our resilience. This is a

picture of the charging station where we can go to RESET ourselves if we need to. we started this before lockdown but it has been super helpful since as we have dealt with a new sort of school environment.
