Speech Finales

  On Wednesday it was the speech finals. There were three people presenting in each year group. In our class we picked Souen and Liam TP. Souen's speech was about "how toilets can change your life" and Liam's was about "Why the English language is stupid". Out of the year six's Mia G won and she is going to the Eden Albert speech finals against other schools. I hope I can get in next year!     

Room Five Assembly

On Friday Room Five had an assembly. We did a play about stereotypes. In the play my part was I speak two languages and I had to say it in Chinese 我会说两种语言 Wǒ huì shuō liǎng zhǒng yǔyán. I was also part of the soccer part. We also did a dance called individual reality.   

Marae Trip

The other day we had a trip to the Marae. It was really fun! They taught us a few songs. At eleven o'clock we all went to the wharekai the eating place. We had scones, biscuits and Milo. Also the school councils did the hoki with the Marae members. The last part of the trip was the year 5 & 6 had to do the kapa haka. While we were doing it my shoe was half on. It was a really fun trip!     

Pacific Ocean Poster

Term 3 Week 3. This week we all researched on a ocean. There was Pacific Ocean, Indian Ocean, Arctic Ocean, Atlantic Ocean and Southern Ocean. I did Pacific Ocean because it sounded like it was very interesting. The deepest point of the ocean is 432,830, The animals that live in the pacific ocean is sea otters, Dugongs, Killer whales, manta rays and Humpback whales. The size of the Pacific ocean is 62.46 million miles and is the largest ocean. This was a really fun project and I can't wait to do it again.   

Pumanuwa

This term on every Monday we have something called Pūmanawa. Pūmanawa is when there are different activity like cartooning, digital technology, yoga and kitchen science. My first choice is digital technology, my second was cartooning and my third was kitchen science. What we have done so far in digital tech is brickfilm. Brickfilm is when you get Lego and keep on moving it once then take a photo. You just keep on doing that over and over again until you've finished. A really good tip is that you have to keep the camera really really still. I picked technology because I want to learn more about computers.

The other day our class did egg sitting. We had look after it for a whole week it's just like looking after a baby. The rule was we weren't allowed to leave our egg at home by itself. We had to make a home for our egg. my egg's home had two beds in it a pillow and lot's of paper towels. It was really fun.

The other day we were at Room 8 for a whole day. While we were there they did this experiment they got a jar and filled it up with water. Then they got the celery and cut it up into piece's. After they added the dye in the water and mixed it together. Now we put in the celery and then we had to want for about two hours. It was really fun.
