Funky Time in Room 9

These past few weeks in Music we have been choosing a year out of a hat.
We then study the music of that year. Last time we picked 1984 and got to listen to a little bit of Michel Jackson and we saw a video you might have heard of. Thriller, in our opinion, is one of the cheesiest, most useless videos we’ve ever seen. It was thirteen minutes of our lives that we’ll never see again.
Here is a link, check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcIy1B71G4Y

But we want your opinion, so leave a comment and tell us what you think.

And in dedication to someone who we all find very special –

Madness at Thorndon

Last week we went to the Garden Centre and we now have a planted garden box, and some herbs in pots.We also have a hanging bird house that has been visited by tui and a model turtle we persuaded Jay to buy.We hope our garden will continue to thrive.

Last week we went to a a dance workshop. We learnt how to do maori dance moves with taiaha, which was a lot of fun, if more than a little confusing. This is something that you must only try if you heal from bruises quickly!

On Wednesday, a certain ruler of the country,commonly known as John Key, came to visit our school for World Maths Day.He walked in, got swamped by children,went up to Rm 6 ,graffited peoples paper and t shirts and left.

It has been a great week and we hope you have enjoyed reading our blog.
