The Great Big Hearing Check

 During our Week 5 Lockdown we decided to do an online hearing check. Why you ask? Well did you know that this March, if you check your hearing for FREE you can help raise awareness for hearing loss in New Zealand. The people at Triton Hearing will donate $1 to National Foundation for Deaf and Hard of Hearing every time someone completes the online hearing check.

We really enjoyed doing something so easy and donating to charity! You can read what some of us thought about the experience below by following the links.

St Pius X Samoan Siva for Samoan Language Week - By Moala

On last week Friday 29thy of May, 
St Pius X School plus parents and  Felise were there. 
We were doing a Samoan dance. The reason why we were doing a
 Samoan dance celebration was  because it was Samoan language week.

Father Felise was talking in Samoan. 
Then Mr.Tai came up with a fluffy thing,
 he also was holding a sword.
We all moved to the other side so 
the girls in the other group could dance. 
Everyone was clapping when they were done.

The next group came up and did their dance.
 Once they were done with their dance everyone
 was clapping when they were finished. 
Finally it was the last group the people who were sitting was clapping to the beat the people who were standing was making lot's of noise. 
The people who were standing was making the sound "chihoo!".

 My thoughts of the celebration was a smart and excellent idea. I felt happy and exited

The Most Sacred Heart of Jesus - By Amihuti

Today in class we learned about the Sacred heart of Jesus. I learned that Jesus made the 12 promises through St Margret Mary. Here is my Activity.

The feast of the sacred heart of Jesus symbolises the heart of Jesus. The feast of the Sacred Heart, of Jesus originates from Roman nun. In St  Margaret Mary’s visions Jesus was talking to her, and made the promises through her. Jesus made 12 promises that he said that he will provide or help us with. In my school we celebrate the feast, of the sacred heart of Jesus. By going to church and harmonising praising  Jesus and reading the word of the lord. St  Margaret Mary was born 22 July 1647. St Margaret Mary died 17 October 1690.

Andy Warhol - By Stella

This term for art we are researching Andy Warhol and the origins
of “Pop Art” and his use of repetition. Pop art is a type of art called
pop art, and it began in the 1950s. Pop art is a style of art based on
simple things like bold images of everyday items, such as soup
cans, painted in bright colours!!! Today in class, we began our
portraits. The first thing we did was take a picture from our heat to
our solder. The next thing we did was repeat the image 6 times. I
liked this Andy Warhol art because I am learning a new task which I
think is really interesting. After all, we are making a copy of his
creation. It was easy because you just had to copy and paste your
picture 6 times and write how you made it.

I am looking forward to next week because we will get to colour our
self-portrait.

It's Movie Time!

It's almost time for our movies to be played on the big screen and today Room 5 had a play around with making some of our own movie posters. The key is not to give too much away but keep both the pictures and the words interesting to captivate an audience. This was a quick one thrown together to help get some ideas flowing. How do you think we did? What do you think our movie is about?

Have a look at some other posters from Room 5 and see if you can pick our movie theme!
