Vege Car

This is the amazing vege car designed by James MacDonald. He invented the vege car in 1993.

The company is called Macdiesel. The website is called www.macdiesel.co.nz.

James Nui MacDonald decided to drive up to Cape Reinga which is the end of NZ. Bluff was the start the trip. They had 8 stops along the way. I hope you enjoyed this wonderful vege car advertisement by Holley.

Under the Sea

This is a picture of Scott's amazing artwork about life "under the sea".

When we designed our artworks we thought about different things and sea creatures that we might find under the sea. Then we brainstormed the types of colours you would find under the sea.

The next step was to draw our pictures in pencil. Then we dyed them and lastly we outlined the pictures with black pen or vivid.

We hope you like Scott's fabulous artwork. There will be more to come from talented Room 5 artists soon.

Free Rice

An excellent website for practicing all areas of the curriculum is http://www.freerice.com/index.php

For every question correctly answered on this website the United Nations donates 10 grains of rice to starving families. It may not sound like a lot but it adds up, just check out the donations page.

Happy learning and feeding!

Wow What a Term!

On a personal note I would like to say a massive thank you to all the Room 5 students who have made my first term at Makarewa School an awesome one.
