As a reading activity, our class studied the war ongoing between Israel and Gaza.

This Google Drawing is about Banksy, and his artwork about two children. I explain why this artwork is relevant to the war.

Pirouettes and Pointed toes! Ballet in a Box…the Royal New Zealand Ballet (RNZB), performed for schools in Auckland last week giving a glimpse into Classical and Contemporary Ballet. Costuming, lighting and of course the dancing was impeccable. The shear strength and stamina of the dancers left even our rugby boys flabbergasted! It did help that students were fortunate enough to have workshops prior to the actual ballet where they were put through the steps and jumps of one of the dances in the program. A real life experience of how hard and challenging only one piece of the dance was.

We were not allowed to take photos or film the performance, however, St Patricks performance was videoed. What started as a group of 3 senior boys entertaining their younger children became a whole school event entertaining the whole lobby and other schools.

Through Mitey we have been working on ‘Em’s Backpack.’ As part of this we looked at the people in Em’s life, their connections and relationship with her. If we met them what questions would we ask about them? How do they know Em and what is going on in their lives that may flow on to Em? Using the perspective of one of these connections a letter was written to guide and help Em. Check out our Blogs to read more letters to Em. Do you think they might be helpful?
