A musical afternoon

Three musicians from the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra brought their instruments and enthusiasm for music to Team 4 yesterday afternoon to play a selection of music from around the world.  The trio played Irish and gypsy dance music as well as some classical music from Germany.  Greg sang, played the guitar and the flute while Paul played the cello. Yulia, who comes from Russia originally, played the violin.  Some of the music was so relaxing that it made us feel sleepy while the energy of the dance music made us want us to tap and clap along.

Many thanks to the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra and their sponsors for arranging this fantastic visit.

My fourth marine environment activity - by Valessa

Hi I am back and I wanted to post this activity because I want to share what I learnt about by reading.

Kī o Rahi

It was finally time to play the full game of Kī o Rahi yesterday after learning and practising different parts of the game with our Kiwisport coaches, Alan and Puti, throughout the term.  It was so much fun putting all the elements together as we worked together in our teams. We all had a chance to be both taniwha and kīoma.  What an amazing opportunity!

Shading shapes

We are learning how to use pencil to create form through shading. We started by sketching a circle and added shading so that it transformed into a three-dimensional sphere. We added a cast shadow.

Makea sketched three shapes, using the pencil to show darker and lighter shades.

Year 5&6 Camp 2018

Last week it was time for Point England School's 28th Annual Year 5&6 camp. The event really can  be called a camp as our accommodation was a tent city on the school field!  During the day we took part in all sorts of amazing activities, experiencing new things and making new friends.   Such fun!
