Court Jesters - slideshows
Today we were extremely privileged to have the Court Jesters come and work with us. We learnt about adding elements to create a clearer picture. We learnt that through playing some picture games where we added elements to our story to create a clearer picture. I learnt that even though we are only ten or eleven year old girls we can make an impact. We need to start one detail at a time.
We loved the 'I am a tree game'... we could make good and bad scenes. Looking deeper into this we realized we had to work as a team and rely on other people to make the bigger picture.
We were also encouraged to try out a new personality- it felt so strange to be the outgoing member of a group and take charge.
To work with the Court Jesters must have been a wonderful experience for you all- Emma. I loved working with the Court Jesters especially when I got to be personality type A- Violette
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree I loved switching personality types it was interesting to find-out how others felt. I also enjoyed the discussion about issues and making pictures on what they look like and tehn making a picture of what the resolution looks like...

ReplyDeleteSounds like another exciting day with the Court Jesters visiting Selwyn House this time. I wonder who will be next!
ReplyDeleteWhen the Court Jesters came I really liked it. I liked it when we made shapes with our movement.

It was very exiting and fun when the Court Jesters came to Selwyn House. I really liked the I am a tree game and the winking game. I can't wait to see what we will do next.

Hi Year 6
ReplyDeleteThe Court Jesters look so fun and cool!! I wish that they came when I did exhibition.
My group did something to do with the city after the earthquake and designs that could be good for the new city.

Hi Year 6,
ReplyDeleteYour blog is looking fantastic. You are having so many exciting experiences as you prepare for exhibition. I wonder if you are any closer to knowing what it is all about this year or are the teachers still teasing you and encouraging you to guess?
The Year 8s are enjoying reading your blog. Blogging is such a great way to make connections with people outside our school. I wonder if you might connect with other classes who are also preparing for exhibition.
Good luck, Year 6.

That looks like lots of fun!! I haven't done exhibition before so I don't really know what you do for it. I wish I could have a go at it. What is your next step?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment, Exhibition is where we show what we have learn`t over the past six years in junior school. We are given subjects to choose from and we do an exhibition on that subject for the time period of six weeks. We don`t know what the subjects are for sure but we think it has something to do with with the issues in our community. What we think our next step will be is to find out what our exhibition is actually about because right now we only know parts of the puzzle and are adding puzzle pieces to the mix every day

Working with the court jesters was very interesting and exciting. We got to switch personalities, it was really interesting finding out what everybody was feeling. I also liked when we talked about the issues in the world and then making shapes about them. Emily.Y
ReplyDeleteYesterday was really fun when the Court Jesters came to Selwyn House. they showed us lot of fun acting games my favorite one was I am a tree.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed the court jesters visit. It really gave me a little wondering about what exhibition was going to be about and changed my perspective of exhibition. I really liked the game, 'I am a tree', because you didn't know what the next person was going to do.
ReplyDeleteLooked like it was a great experience.

Hi Tracey,
DeleteExhibition is really fun! The experience so far has been amazing! Personally the four of us loved the Court Jesters because they were funny, amusing and most of all they taught us teamwork.
Kindest Regards,
Selwyn House Girls Year 6
Loved your letter to Sam Johnston. He was one of the many positive stories that came out of the earthquake events that seem a long time ago. It is fantastic that you get to meet such inspirational people.
