Musical Words

We read the letter Robert Pirosh wrote about his LOVE of words. We listed our love of musical words and shared them with Mrs Hohaia: we love groovy, gifted, harsh smooth music words like wrinkly, sneaky, strumming, drifting, jazzy-wazzy drums, wavy, thunderous, synching, deep double bass, pattern, funky, low, stingy-wingy piano, ukulele, zippy, mind blowing, dreamy, shining voice, rockin' rhythms, irresistible, pumping piano, stringy guitar, and musicification !

We are making our own School Journals.

Generating ideas for our final fabulous sharing

Room 18 LOVES to share, so we are planning the best sharing ever.

The Eclipse

We have been viewing the eclipse, we have been watching it live in Northern Australia, we've googled facts about it, we've drawn diagrams and kept a diary of our thinking and our feelings. We have become umbraphiles!

Maxwell's Best and Worst of Athletics Day

I felt a bit nervous. My favourite sport was discuss because I was good at it. I had never even held a discuss before. Then one of the teachers said I was in the top 5 and I felt excited. I do want to go to cluster. My worst thing about athletics was when we had to sit down and do nothing in the 200m run.
