Bad Hair Day & Chagall Art
Friday was Bad Hair Day at Yaldhurst. Students came along with the craziest hair ever seen in a school. We looked pretty cool!
Because it was Friday we also did some art. We looked at Chagall and his artwork. He created some pretty interesting artwork. It was all based around cool and warm colours. Our teacher showed us a slideshow. It had lots of pictures of Chagall's. We talked about what we saw in the pictures. We then went away and used crayon to create our own picture. We chose whether our picture was going to use warm colours or cool colours.

Christchurch Schools Music Festival
On Wednesday night Mrs Tebbett and I had the pleasure of taking the senior choir to the Horncastle Homes Arena for the Christchurch Schools Music Festival. Our wonderful 9 students sang alongside 1400 other children. It was incredible and the students did a really wonderful job. Well done team!

Recount Writing
Totara is busy learning about recounts at the moment as we have an e-asTTle assessment coming up. We have written a recount, looked at the e-asTTle exemplars, talked about our stories and where they might go and Mrs S has also suggested what our next steps will be for our recounts.
Today we had the Rimu (Year 7/8) students come in and work with us and our recounts. We each shared our recounts and then gave feedback, Two stars and a wish. Totara students did the same for the Rimu students. Their stories were very impressive. You can read them on their class blog here.
After we had all shared our work, we spent time working on an area to improve. Some of us looked at paragraphing, some improving a sentence or changing a word. Tomorrow we are going to work on re-writing our story using these improvements. We can't wait!

While we were all busy doing this. William was outside helping Lisa in the sandpit. You can read about his sandpit adventure here.
