Being Friends in Room 10

As the year goes on it's easy to start to feel a little bit sick of each other. Today in Room 10 we decided to take a few minutes to appreciate all the great things about our awesome class mates.






We started by creating a beautiful card with our names on the front cover. We made them bright and eye catching! Then we all lined the desks and thought hard about the things we like about our classmates. We tried very hard to be descriptive because descriptive praise is so fun to hear.






We didn't have any trouble thinking of nice things to say. As the Kid President tell us "If you can't think of anything nice to say you aren't thinking very hard."

We had a great time! Te Whetu told Miss Park that it was "just like getting presents!"

Check back again soon!

A Wild Day...

Here's a piece of shared writing Room 10 about pyjama day...it was pretty wild!

Yippee time to get dressed for school in my pyjamas! On the way to school I saw lots of bright beautiful pjs. When I got to school just about everyone was wearing their jimjams! Miss Park was a fox! Miss Ovens was a scary dinosaur. Miss Cameron was dressed like a cow. Moooooo. There were lots of animals all chasing each other. Some people were dressed in the same pyjamas as each other like Rose and Amelia! Kyle and Ryan were too. Twins! Lots of people were wearing onesies.

When the teachers were in their onesies we couldn’t even tell who they were. When Miss Park stood up she couldn’t see her tail! Mr Melrose had his pyjama pants on. They were light and dark blue checkered with light and dark grey. He took a photo of Rose and Amelia.  

Oh my gosh! Was that a dinosaur?! Look at its face! Its ok it’s just Miss Ovens. Phew! Wait is she a dinosaur? Maybe she’s a crocodile? We will call her a crocosaur! Shouldn’t she be extinct by now? Especially with that sickly, slimy green colour from the swamp. Look at all those pointy, sharp teeth. They look like miniature saws. Yikes how many teeth has she got?! Wait, where’s her class? I hope she hasn’t eaten them! I hope she doesn’t eat us! Quick hide before she eats us! Is she chasing us? Run away!  Hang on, she’s wearing shoes. That’s not that scary.

Rose was a super cool ninja! Look out she might karate chop us! I hope she doesn’t have any swords. Woah, she just karate chopped the whole playground in half! Her hand must be REALLY sore now! Is it me or does that concrete look split in half to you? She just kicked a tree over! I wonder who she was trained by. Just joking, she hasn’t destroyed the school…yet. But she might be a ninja turtle.

There’s a wild fox in our class…a wild fox that can’t find its tail! She’s got orange fur like the boiling hot sun and a white belly. Speaking of her belly I think I can hear it rumbling! She must be hungry too!  I’m too young to die! Oh no, now she’s prowling around the playground. She might be scouring it for her next dinner. Look, that kid is running for her life! Oh no, she’s turned around and coming for me! Maybe it’s not a fox, maybe she’s an orange werewolf! Or maybe she’s a big giant cat. Either way, you should never trust a fox on pyjama day.


It looks like the ninja, the crocosaur and the fox are working together! Lucky it’s home time; I was so scared of getting eaten! Most terrifying school day ever!!!

PJs in School?!

You read that right! We got to support a great cause AND have lots of fun doing it! We wore our PJs to school and donated a gold coin each to KidsCan, which is a great charity for young people living with cancer. Luckily it was a beautiful day to wear your PJs! Check it out...




Stop by again soon!

Athletics!

Athletics is so much fun! We love trying all the different activities that go into Athletics. So far we have had a go at running, jumping, long jump, shot put, and discus. We have also chosen our relay team for the class competition. Here are some photos of us doing some Athletics so far this term.

Technology with Gap Filler

This term we have been learning about the Gap Filler organisation in Christchurch and how they fill in the gaps left behind by the earthquakes. We had a go at designing our own site to fill a gap at school. We were also lucky enough to be visited by one of the people who work at Gap Filler! Sally visited us to have a look at our site proposals and show us some more interesting information about Gap Filler. She even dressed up like a golfer and lent us a golf club, golf ball, astroturf and road cone to have a go at Gap Golf!

Springing into Spring!

What a successful week we had in Room 10 last week! We are leaping into the new season with lots of enthusiasm!

Harmony was one of the finalists from the area speech run offs (that included all the Year 3 and 4 students!) and she went through the speech night to compete with the other finalists. She got a certificate for her awesome performance and Room 10 is so proud of the effort she put in! Miss Park is proud of everyone in Room 10 because we all did a speech and that can be pretty scary but everyone did one!


But wait there's more! Cedrick also go Student of the Week! His mum and dad came along to assembly to see him get his certificate (as well as his cute little baby sister!) and it was another proud moment for Room 10! Here he is getting his certificate - 


And last but definately not least Todd and Teagan got certificates at assembly too!


What a great week we had!

Check back again soon!
