Taking care of planet Earth

Isn't nature amazing? So as we were talking about taking care of planet Earth... we watered our classroom plants and as the liquid settled on some of the leaves, this thirsty little fella flew in for a drink of water. 🌵💦🐝💕

This beautiful BUMBLE BEE was here in our classroom to have a drink, but it’s important to note that bumble bees are built to pollinate.

In New Zealand bumble bees were imported to pollinate some crops. Many species of bumble bee have longer tongues than honey bees, so they can pollinate flowers with longer petals. Also, bumble bees are very hairy and so they are perfect for picking up and transferring pollen.

Why do you think it’s important for us to take care of bumble bees?

Room 6 at Senior Dance Evening 2019

At our Dance Evening, we took you on a dancing journey around the globe.

Room 6 children performed a fusion of Asian dance.

We began with a celebratory Bhangra folk dance from the Punjab region of

India and Pakistan.

And we continued with a K-Pop dance from South Korea.

K-Pop has been influenced by many styles from around the world and has developed as a unique dance style.

Here we give you a glimpse of the K-Pop Dance that we performed.

Abstract Folk Art by Room 6

What do you think of our artwork? We love the way these turned out. We were inspired by the Abstract Folk Art of Karla Gerard and created patterned landscapes with houses. We followed Cassie Stephens tutorial online.

The media we used were oil pastels, watered down paint, cardboard for the houses and puffy paint. We learned about the seven elements of art and focussed on line, shape, texture, and colour. Aren't they beautiful?
