Black and Yellow Day

Today we had black and yellow day, our school colours, to celebrate the beginning of the rugby world cup. We made a long banner for the parade. Check out our classroom window for a rugby world cup message. Four of our class made a large CNS world cup jersey. We think they did an awesome job especially with the patterning that they used.

Mini Market

This morming we had a mini market with room 2. We recieved $10 investment money and could buy materials to create a product to sell at our mini market. We used a classification grid to work out which product we should choose to make. The teachers gave us 20 minutes to make our product. After that we advertised it to the whole group and then headed to our stalls. We had to return the original investment $10 dollars. We all recieved $3 spending money and the market began. Lots of products were bought and lots of stalls sold out. Some of us made a profit and some groups made a loss. The most sucessful group made $14 profit. It was a fun morning.

Don Binney Paintings

Here are our paintings that we completed at the end of last term. I think you did an amazing job Room 1. They look fantastic. You have followed Don Binney's style well to create wonderful pieces of art.
