John the Baptist

Kia Ora,

in Room 8 we have been learning about who John the Baptist was and what his mission was. We learned that he was the last Prophet before Jesus and that he baptised people.

See below some of our inside out activities describing John the Baptist.

Musician Reid shares his guitar!

This afternoon in Room 9 for sharing time, Reid bought in his guitar. Reid was able to teach us all about the strings, their names, and the different sounds they make. We were also lucky enough to have him play some songs he has been learning to us.

Here are some other facts we found out:

• When Reid played each cord the tune changed from high to light from the top to bottom cords. 
• That the sheets of music look hard to read. 
• He used the same 3 fingers to change cords. 
• 1, 2 and 3 numbers on the music sheet represented which finger to use. 
• There are six strings on the guitar.

Joyful Virtue

This week our virtue focus was joyful. We created our own mini booklets filled with things that make us feel joyful. To come together and share our ideas we created our Room 9 poster of the books. There were some lovely ideas shared such as family, friends, flowers, smiles, laughter, and plenty more.
