Making Music in Room 6

In Room 6 we have been making instruments from recycled rubbish.
Here are some of our instruments.

Cool instruments Room 6! Can they produce sound? You should bring them to Room 3 to show us. Good work!

Hi Room 6,
I really like the look of your musical instruments. What a great use of rubbish. Did any of them actually make musical sounds? AT Matakana School we made models out of rubbish in Term 2 as part of our Wastewise topic. It's great to see other schools reycling and reusing rubbish so creatively.

You were so creative, Room 6. Your instruments even made some great sounds. It is challenging to only use recycled materials, so well done!

Room 6 Tomarata School News/Notes/Comments

Hello Parents/Caregivers and families,

Hi everyone. The year is flying by...

It has been a very busy time for Room 6. We have farewelled Michelle Carmichael last week. She is a 3rd year teaching student from Auckland University. During the first 4 weeks of Term 3, Michelle had full control of the class and did a terrific job. The class adjusted well to her slightly different teaching style and routine and enabled her to learn and develop as a teacher.

We have a focus on Electricity this term - safety, generation, usage, sustainability and we will be looking and circuits and making are own circuits to insert into games the children will be developing.

Term 4 will have the theme of "Risk, Safety, and Response". We will look at a wide range of things from 1st Aid and Fire Safety to involving the students in assessing the risks different activities may pose at Camp.

Speaking of Camp, this will be held during the week 12-16 November at Marsden Point Christian Camp, One Tree Point. We are busy planning and preparing. Whilst some costs are still to be finalised, we have indicated in newsletters the cost will be approx $120 per student. Further details will follow in due course.

The enrolment process for the transition to Rodney College has begun. Interviews are coming up and testing for Year 8s will occur in Term 4.

Term 4 also sees Inter-school cross country and cricket. I am in the process of arranging some coaching sessions with Northland Cricket early in Term 4 - watch this space.

Show Day is the first Friday back after the October school holidays. All students in Room 6 are expected to participate and contribute - I would like to see either a lamb/calf, a garden, a pet, or sculpture from as many students as possible. All students will be required to make as many indoor exhibits as possible. It is much more fun for the students if they join in fully.

Take care.

GPM
