Have you ever wondered about your future? By Nikki

I recommend "When I grow up" by Room 4 from Tamaki Primary. I like this, because the boy dreams of what he wanted to become and it was really interesting. I liked the music and how they were dancing to it and it was really entertaining. You should definitely watch this movie.

A bit of a journey through Tamaki and time by Manase

The movie makers  take us on a  bit of a journey through Tamaki and time.We see local people dancing  at schools and at different places you might know. The music has a really good beat and is pumping. I liked  the song, because it was a good choice by the film makers.

Why School is Important by Yom

I would like to share this video "School is Cool" by Room 7 with everyone because it tells younger people that school is a good place to learn new things and build up your vocabulary. This video shows all the cool learning they do at school . The whole class, even the teacher, sang a song and finally  the boy who thought school was boring was persuaded to like school more.

Watch this and learn something

We have been learning about the difference between personal and private information online. We have been learning to decide what personal information is safe to share online.

• Personal information is information that we want people to know about us, even people that we don't know. For example: name of a pet, school subjects, favourite T.V shows, favourite food or hobbies.
• Private information is information that we won't share unless we've checked with our parents and teacher. For example: date of birth, credit cards, birth date, passwords or full name.
• We know that if we are not sure, it's always private.

We have shared our personal profiles on our Room7 blogs. Please visit our blog and click on the label 'personal profile'.

Masks

♥ Masks can be used for protection, decoration, parties, costumes, and to show nationality. You can wear your mask for shows and festivals.

You can make your very own mask by using crafts and tools, the tools that you can use are, paint, brush, Tupperware, white glue, clear glue, news papers, and a piece of any coloured balloon. You blow your balloon until it’s big enough to fit it on your face, place your balloon at the top of the Tupperware, it’s better if the tail is at the bottom and the head is at the top. The faster way rip your newspapers into pieces, paste a glue and stick on your at the balloon and stick it on. After you’ve wrapped the whole balloon, wrap another
6-10 layers to make it thick then wait until it’s dry.
And after it’s dried paste a coloured paper until it’s covered the whole balloon .It will dry in a few moments. Then saw it half .Fold a paper into three then twirl it until at the middle of your mask and do same thing at the other side stick your nose at the middle of your mask and apply some bandages shape all over the sides, make your lips by rolling your paper and bend whatever you want to fit your style. The eyebrows are the easy one, roll a thin ♥ripped paper, and stick it at the top of your mask where the eye brows are placed.

The final are the paint and crafts, paint your main colour on your mask and paint some designed like butterfly, cat, joker, heart, polka dot, and other shape that you can use. The crafts that you may use are feathers, glitter, crystal, jiggly eyes, cut out shapes and stickers. You will need a PVA glue to stick the crafts. Now your mask is ready to wear or display.♥
