=Welcome to Room 7's WIKI!=

**Term 3 Discovery**
**Garden to Table will take place week 1, 4, 7 and week 10, so please contact us if you can help out.** **We are all very excited about "hosting the world" for the Rugby World Cup - Go the All Blacks! (and the England team too!)**
 * So far this term we have been embroiled in writing relational speeches that will convey a message to our audience. Through the topic of discovery we are hoping to explore famous inventions and their impact on our lives today. In science and technology, we have begun our journey into creating a natural product that is friendly to the environment and our health. This product and our documented process, will be displayed in week 9 at the Science and Technology Exhibition. **

**Term 2 - Creativity**
This Term has been about exploring and thinking creatively! In Reading and Writing we have discovered ancient and modern Myths and Legends, the class have written their own myths and we used Pandora's Box as the basis of our mask making and dance. The masks are very effective and the clas have really embraced the topic of Creativity well. Many thanks again to all the parents who were able to help out when Melanie,the mask making guru,joined us a couple of weeks ago. The masks are displayed below and the dramatised story of Pandora' s Box will be recorded and posted on the Wiki shortly.

Over the last 2 weeks we have been working on forming good relationships, nurturing new friendships and creating a stimulating and thought provoking learning environment. Highlights have been establishing a strong Class Treaty and celebrating the Chinese New Year!

Can you remember 3 ways in which the Chinese New Year is similar to Christmas?

Our main topic is SUSTAINABILITY - we will be investigating sustainability through water sources. Please think about how you can conserve water at home and think about any improvements we could make at school!

My mask is pale with dark black paint over my eyes. It has 1 red strip of paint going down through the face. It has a strip of gold material over the mouth. It has a black cape over the head just like a hoody. It has red dots under the eyes that is meaning bleeding from the eyes. Pandora opens the box that she is not meant to and all these horrible things pop out and sting her. But then hope comes out and kills death. For our actions we glide,sway,twirl,fall,crawl,stomp,march and walk. I enjoyed the performace as we got to act out our parts and put our masks to use. I had fun dancing and fighting with Elliot. It was clever to see everyone in their masks and lots of fun.
