VIRUAL ART??!!





Next Wednesday, the whole school are having an art day so we can spruce up the corridoors, classrooms and hall. We need to link our 2D art, to our inquiry theme.
Mrs Gurney was inspired by some images of virus cells on the internet, (strange!), so we are going to be creating our masterpieces in water colour. Don't panic, Mrs Gurney has taught us how to use pallet water colours so that the result is vibrant.
If our fortnightly muffin rewards start looking like viruses - we know Mrs Gurney has taken it a step too far - that's really integrating!

It's a Hoedown Throw Down!

Our current PE unit is Dance, so in Room Six, we are learning the Hoedown Throw Down by Miley Cyrus! Strange choice Mrs Gurney, we know, but it does fit into our Full Team Assembly Item for next week's assembly. Watch this space for a video of us during the performance. OR come and see us live in the Roslyn School Hall at 2:15 on Friday June 18th.

Wall Wisher - Our Pandemic Wonderings


The Six Mix have been Inquiring about Natural Disasters this Term. We've taken a look at the "normal" disasters which cause civil emergencies, and have built up a good bank of knowledge about them.
Our Inquiry took a new turn a few weeks ago, and we are now Inquiring into Pandemics.

We are developing a Deep Undersanding about how pandemics in the past, have shaped our understanding of and preparedness for a pandemic in the future.

Mrs Gurney learned about 'Wall Wisher' at an ICT Teacher Only Day on Tuesday, and we have posted some 'stickies' on our online wall.

Our next step is to sort, group and piroritise these for the next step in our Inquiry.

Enjoy reading our questions - some of which we need to change into open ended, Higher Order Thinking questions!
