AFL Skills

Today Saint Kilda taught Rosebank school middle team and senior team. The senior team learnt how to do the Drop Punt. We enjoyed learning AFL skills and meeting the Saint Kilda team. We were so lucky to have the team teaching us because they are only going to 3 schools in Auckland!

Selfie! Say cheese!!

Looking good!!

Saint Kilda team! Can you guess the players?

Once again thank you Saint Kilda for making this day special!

What makes you, you?

We have been learning about how DNA makes up who we are. We then had a debate about what makes you, you....your DNA or the environment that you are in.
See our presentation for our opinions.
Do you agree or disagree?

This was the book they were reading. Potty Animals.

It was really funny and they used lots of expression.

Fact of the day

You are 1% shorter in the evening than in the morning. Isn't that amazing?

Imagine by John Lennon

We have been looking at songs, the meaning of the lyrics and the choices made by the musicians.
Here are some of our summative statements about John Lennon's song 'Imagine'

Adam
The world needs to be as one and have peace so we are all equal and there is gonna be no war.

Losa
This song to me means that people around the world should not fight about little things but have peace.

Sage
my statement is that if there was nothing no religion, no war there would be peace the world would be better than it is today.

Kevin
This song to me means that to make no more war and don't make this world fall apart so it will bring peace .

Patrick
I think that this song is about making peace for everybody around us because if there was war, countries, people and religion will be gone and there will be nothing.Heaven is gone and hell is just taking over this world.

Bradley
My statement is if people don't fight the world will live as one and will make peace.

Sammi

Marcus
I think this song makes peace around everybody because if we had peace back in the days  we they all would not have wars and things like that and still now are in in the world

Tylah-My opinion of this song is that peace and freedom is what we need to make our environment the same as others.  We need to live as one and hopefully join myself and others on our journey to stop our countries fighting and killing.

My opinion of this song is that if you imagine that there is no limits it might happen.

Mary
My opinion about this song is that it makes me feel calm and this song stops me from being anxious.The song is perfect for everyone to sing even if you're a bad singer. The song is so simple. It brings out my emotions.

Do you act the same offline as you do online?

Do you believe everything you see?

Heilala's opinion

Tiana and Mary's opinion

We have realised that what we see on magazines and in the media is not always what it seems to be.
Our class has been looking critically at photos of stars and celebrities and asking questions about some of these images.
We learned about photo-shopping and whitewashing.

Here are some of our opinions about this.

What do you think about this in our media???
