Grease is the word!

Today room 8 and the seniors at Glenbrae School were fortunate enough to watch Auckland Girls' Grammar school's production of the musical Grease. Check out AJ's review of the show!

Grease is about a girl named Sandy from Australia who is an intelligent nerd. She likes a boy called Danny who is in a group of cool boys. A group of girls help Sandy to be with Danny.

My favourite part of the play was when they sang Grease Lightning because I liked the dancing. I liked that the actors all had a lot of confidence and they were talented. I would recommend this play to high school students as the story is set in high school. I'd tell them that it is about a nerd who wants to fit in. I would say that it is very funny and also very realistic.

Assembly!

This afternoon room 8 presented out first assembly of the year, in celebration of Matariki. We opened the assembly with the waiata 'harehuia', before we played the Matariki video that the year six students had created.

Well done to Tumanako, Anita, Francesca and Telesia who presented the assembly.


             

Exploring with paint

This afternoon, room 8 had an art lesson about colour. We have been learning about primary and secondary colours and the colour wheel. We learnt that some colours compliment each other, that there are warm and cool colours and that we can make the colours of the rainbow starting with red, yellow and blue.

After painting our colour wheels. We began to explore and created different combinations of colours. We made different shades and tones of our favourite colours, this was a lot of fun for us!

Interpreting Art

In room 8 we have been learning about creating art with a message. One of our tasks has been to interpret an image. Check out the image Anita selected by Banksy.
