Self Portrait Art

Last week and some of this week Rimu have been working on self portraits but they are not usual self portraits. we had a photo of us and a draw version we cut them both up into strips and numbered them. And from the right to left on a sheet of paper glued them down then we folded them on the edges of the pieces. When you look one way you see the drawing and the other side you see the photo. It was trickier than I had expected, the drawing and finding the right pieces to glue down was really tricky. The easiest thing I would say was folding the piece of paper. Here is what mine turned out like.

Rimu goes Sailing

This week my class got an opportunity to go sailing because a school dropped out and we got to go for free.
for the morning we learnt how to use the boats we were using and there were things called the rudder and of course the sail. In the afternoon we went for a swim and went sailing on the water it was a bit tricky but it was fun. at 2 we got changed and went home here is a photo story of what we did.

2nd week of school

Hi, this is my second half week in my new class RIMU!! so far it has been going really well and I am really enjoying myself. My teachers are Mrs Spragg and Mrs Taylor. All of this short yet very long week, so far we have had to do swimming lessons as a class.
 Rimu is a 46 student classroom so eight went to swim with Te Mahure ( the class bellow us in year groups).  The water in the pool at our School was like you were stepping into a big huge pool of  ice, the dreaded water made you shiver and it was a relief when you were back in warmer clothes.  In the swimming lessons I was in the top group with some other people , we did Breaststroke, Freestyle  and backstroke.
As a class we have been doing activities such as learning new games and Tic Tac Toe work. Now onto the Tic Tac Toe, it is where on a google spreadsheet and there are a range of activities that we can do. For example you can decide to do, Reading, Writing and Maths and this is a Self Managing activity. I did ' who murdered billy gobler' and you had to use a calculator and you had to learn tactics and it was really tricky.
Last week Mrs Taylor taught our class called Indian Tag. It is not do do anything to do with indian culture or people.

Cybersmart

Every Wednesday morning a man is coming in and teaching us how to be Cybersmart. This week he was assigning us to make a slideshow or a video of the three vital ideas on how to treat a chromebook with respect.   Hope you enjoy:) Lauren, Grace and Chloe were also in the video.

Being a YMS HERO

Being a Yaldhurst hero means … Healthy individuals, enthusiastic learners, responsible citizens and open minded explorers. The past week we have been re learning what it means to be a YMS hero.
