Heart Jam

After practising our routine for several weeks all the children throughout the school were ready to share in the performance to the tune 'I can hear the sound of your heart beating'. We met up with our buddies and sketched hearts on our section of the courts before joining in the aerobics routine together. Dressed in red we made a colourful sight.
Donating $729 to the Heart Foundation we have helped children who have been born with heart defects. Well done everybody.

Art by Room 29

Room 29 used the following poems as inspiration for the artwork shown in the video on this blog.
Firstly they sketched their pictures, having read the poems. Secondly, they went over the outlines with a sharpie. Finally, they used powdered paint dye to colour their pictures. Room 29 hope you enjoy viewing their work.

The Sunshine
The sun rises over the horizon
it is Tamanui-te-ra
a blazing furnace,
godlike,
to warm
my chilled skin -
Ah! I am warm.

The sun shines
to ripen the fuits of summer
Oh! What life
joy will blossom
and drive
away sorrow
that is within me -
Ah! I am warm.

The Rainbow
The sky is misty
the sun shines
a rainbow is seen
it is a god.
Light misty rains fall
the sun shines
a rainbow is seen
it is a go.

Red, orange,
yellow, green, blue
indigo, violet -
these are the colours of the rainbow
