Room 5's Identity Dragon - Learn-Create-Share Project

Room 5's Identify Dragon Projet

We've been learning about myths and legends.... we learnt about unicorns and other mythical creatures and all of a sudden we ended up here... Dragons, Dragons, Dragons! 

Are they real? Are they mythical? Why? How? Any evidence? So many questions!!!

Room 5 was extremely enthusiastic to explore this topic. We read a lot of stories, we watched some videos and we put our thinking hats on.... Well, if the dragons are not real, they are still VERY COOL! We created our own Dragon that is now looking after our classroom!

We used different art, creative and collaborative techniques to create our dragon:

• drawing on the topic
• paper mache
• other craft techniques that sometimes were re-invented by Rm 5's learners!
• collage
• creative narrative writing
• report writing
• instructional writing
• measurements and plan proposals
• problem-solving
• and many more!

Our incredible virtual ART exhibition!

Due to an unexpected Covid-19 situation, many countries and schools missed out on many great opportunities to experience great mass events! Many concerts have been cancelled around the glove, so GTS had to cancel our Cultural Festival 2020 and the Art Exhibition too... But GTS is not just an ordinary school - we decided to postpone our great events and, hopefully, we will have our Cultural Festival and Art Exhibition at the end of Term 4. Fingers crossed!

Meanwhile, we invite you to see some of our wonderful artworks online! Enjoy! Please click here.

Tamariki Korero 2020

Today we had a great chance to invite our whanau into our classroom and show them around. Many of us ran out of allocated 15 minutes time slots when talking about our learning in Room 5. All of our parents were impressed by our learning and progress. What a great event we had! It was like a big celebration!

Room 5's students - ALL of US - were very proud to talk about our learning, and we definitely impressed our whanau! So many laughs, smiles and positive comments! We are so lucky to have such supportive families! Ano te pai, Room 5!

We appreciate all the cultures at GTS, and today we were lucky to experience another great example of how many people from different cultural backgrounds came together to share food, positive thoughts and kind words! 

All GTS students, teachers, whanau and guests got together to spread the love and respect by helping and supporting each other after the long lockdown time!

It was a very special day at GTS!

Room 5's Post-Lockdown Prizegiving. We are the champions!

During the lockdown, we kept working and learning! We proved that we all are extremely keen, enthusiastic and smart learners who achieved a lot!

The lockdown couldn't stop us from learning about many interesting Anzac facts. We continued to learn and practise place value, number knowledge, alliterations, rhyming, spelling, smart blogging, positive commenting and heaps more! 

Today, it is our day to celebrate our learning success!!!

 

We are BACK after the Covid-19 Lockdown!!! We Love Room 5 and GTS!

Finally, after the long lockdown period, we got a chance to return to our wonderful school! We LOVE GTS! 

We missed our friends and teachers, we missed our Learn-Create-Share projects in Room 5. So, we decided to share our experiences and also create new outside games to play TOGETHER! 

We Love Playing Kahoot to have fun and learn at the same time!

The students L-O-V-E when we play Kahoot - what a great way to engage and make everyone participate!

Playing Kahoot motivates us to read fluently as we have turns reading the quiz questions and also we want to answer the questions faster than the others to get more points! 

Playing Kahoots, we learnt some new words and practised our Maths, Reading, Writing. We also discovered some of the Anzac facts and, thanks to our exciting Kahoot quizzes, we will remember these facts for long!
