Camp

It was my first time at camp. I loved it.  We went over rope bridges. It was awesome! We swam in the river with the eels. There was a rope so we could swing off the rope into the river.  The eels were tickling my friend and me around our feet.   It was deep.  The best thing that we did was archery. We did lots of stuff, like walk around the Waihi gold mining hole. It took ages.  We went to the museum and we did an egg toss.

Perspective

Room One have been learning about perspective drawing. First we drew line drawings, then line and tone, and then A3 coloured versions.

We learned about eye level, horizon, vanishing points and parallel lines. Some of us learned about two point perspective and even three point perspective.

Teacher Shake

We made our Glenview Shake video a couple of weeks ago. A couple of us wanted to make a Harlem shake with our teachers. So we went to Mr Mangan and asked him if he would lead the dancing. He said he would if ALL the teachers would do it.
Me and Ethan wrote an email to all the teachers and Mr F sent it to them. Eventually everybody agreed to do it, even Mrs Thorburn who has a sore foot.
So this morning, after assembly, teachers did the Harlem Shake. Thank you teachers for goofing around in front of all the kids and some parents were watching too.

This is the Glenview school staff doing the Harlem Shake.
If you did not know it is our Principal at the start.

It All Adds Up

Today when we did maths we did Scale Mapping then after that we did Xtramath. While we were waiting to go on we got to do math games. I used the Time Dominoes and made my name, with them and they all added up. I cheated with the “a” because I made a gap in the “a” even. Look at it.
