The House Challenge

On Friday Fordell School had a house challenge. The challenge was had to make a shield for our house. We went in the Tin shed to get the instructions for it  and then we got into our house colours and started on our shields. Tawa was in room1, Kowhai was in room 2 and Miro was in room 3. We got a whole day to decorate our shields. When the houses were finished the seniors carried their shields to the Tin shed and then we had assembly.  Mr Walker pronounced the winner and sadly Tawa did not win but Kowhai was the winning house for the house challenge.

My Befunky

Today Room 2 and 1 went on the computer and went on Be funky. Be funky is a website where you can make effects on pictures. First we got a photo taken of us and then we went on Be funky and had fun looking at different styles. Next we chose four pictures of us that had effects
  and saved it. We then put them together and then saved it. We did this because this week we looked at Andy Warhol's art work. Back in the olden days they did not have computers so Andy Warhol took pictures of things and painted over the picture to give it effects.

The Musem


On Thursday Rom 2 went to the Wanganui Museum. We learnt about flight. We arrived at the Museum, sat down on the mat, we then went to a room full of birds and bird bones. We got a sheet that we had to fill in. After that we went up stairs and looked at butterflies and insects. I learnt that birds have two kinds of feathers. They have body feathers that keep them warm and flying feathers that make them fly. I learnt lots about flight and birds. I have had lots of fun and I hope I go there soon again.
