Our Magazine Page

We (like the rest of the country) were greatly inspired by all that Team NZ did over in San Francisco and so we decided to give our page in the school magazine this year a yachting flavour to show our support - and because we reckon they so fantastically demonstrated our BDS/Room 16 values.  Click on the photo to enlarge.

Reusing Plastic

Here's some of the things we created for homework over the last 2 weeks of term - our design brief was to come up with a way we could reuse a bottle or other plastic item.  Click on each photo to enlarge.

Our Fashion Show

We had an amazing finale to our Wearable Arts Inquiry recently with some spectacular outfits designed and made by us (and some of our parents) lighting up the catwalk for our middle school fashion show.  Here's what we looked like on the night and remember we used recycled materials in our designs.  And check out the photos underneath this presentation to see what a bombsite the classroom became during the production process.

 

Mr Hayward surprised us all by allowing his room to look like this for the best part of a week - okay, so it wasn't quite this bad for all of that time.  And no we hadn't been robbed!
