Yesterday... Today? Tomorrow!

      

  Dear Room 4, 

We have had a special assembly yesterday afternoon with a War Veteran John Desley, our Principal Malcolm sharing an ANZAC Day reading, and DP David sharing a The Ode. Hopefully you all now have a better understanding of ANZAC Day and it is a public holiday for us. 

However, a tragedy had happened yesterday over the other side of the world - a bomb attack at the Boston Marathon. There were many injuries and some deaths. 

I would like to know what your thoughts are on both matters and remember to be respectful and use your words wisely.

Mandarin - Chinese Opera

Dear Room 4,

We have been learning one of the Asian language Mandarin since the beginning of the term and this week we were learning about the Chinese Opera and the masks. The history of Chinese Opera was much longer than the history of New Zealand and there is a wide range of masks and costumes that Chinese people use for telling stories on the stage.

Many colours are used in any given Chinese opera masks, but the dominant colours indicate the specific characteristics. Here is the question for you all regarding the masks: what do these colours indicate: Red, blue, yellow and black?

Good luck!
Lily

Happy Easter!

Dear all,

Hope you all have had a lovely Easter break! See you on Wednesday (Day 2)!
