Already, (only a couple of chapters in) we are hooked. Our quote of the day comes sums up this book perfectly - "Normal is a setting on a washing machine"!!! Source Unknown

Art Gallery Visit!!

On Monday, Room 6 headed down to the Art Gallery. We loved hearing about the paintings and installations and John tied it so beautifully into our Inquiry for the Term. We learnt about NZ birds, NZ buildings and culture. We created painting masterpieces incorporating New Zealand's rolling hills and a very well known structure. Can you guess what it is by looking at our paintings?

She's a Mod!!

As part of our Inquiry Unit this term we will be exploring a different NZ song each day. Today we listened to Ray Columbus and The Invader's, She's a Mod. Ray Columbus and the Invaders were the first New Zealand group to have a number one hit in Australia.
It was fascinating to see music before auto tuning, special effects, costuming and all the other extras we have these days. We discussed the inspiration of the Beetles in the style of this group.
