Chocolate cake

Last week with the help of two parents Kylie and Rachael, we made a chocolate cake. We all had a turn to mix the cake. Kylie and Rachael took all the Room 4 students over to smell the cake while it was cooking in the oven. It looked good when it came out of the oven.

Next day we iced the cake with chocolate icing and later we all had a piece. Everyone said it tasted yummy!

Mass activities

During week 8 Room 4 students took part in some activities about Mass. For one task they worked together in pairs to weigh some objects with blocks.

Who is Behind the Mask?

As a lead up to the Masked Parade we have been making different kinds of masks in Room 4 as part of our Art programme. We started with masquerade masks held by a stick which used to be used at balls in the old days. These are on display in our classroom.
Next we made animal masks (cats and dogs) out of paper plates. These are also hanging in our class and some sample photos are here for you to see. Can you guess who is behind the mask?
We are now working on the big masks for the Masked Parade. We have been learning about Peter Jackson as a Famous New Zealander and the Junior Syndicate are making masks that reflect his work. Ours are the 'Ents' which are the tree people. Watch this space!
