Tenting Inventing

At maths time we had to invent a 3D tent with paper. We had to make a template and measure the angles to fit it all . There were all sorts of different kind of tents designed.

Jubilee

Today we have been talking about the jubilee and had to create a stretchy about a New Zealand disaster between 1996- 2005. We also had to draw and fold the paper to present our facts. By Caitlyn

As camp for the senior syndicate is coming up in a week Room 10 is designing tents. Some people finished early like Genzui in the photo but some people are still drawing. "For me the hardest part was drawing in 3-D," said Jayden. In the end, the lesson proved a success.

Secret Sentence

Today with Mr Mac and Mrs Knight, we learnt a new game called Secret Sentence. The teachers had to choose a secret sentence and the children had to guess words and punctuation. It sounds easy but it's actually really hard! It took lots of guesses to figure out the sentence. Look below to see the photo of our hard work guessing the sentence. Hope you like this game and we would recommend it to the Senior school.

Brain Education!

We have been learning about the brain and today we discussed brain injuries. We talked about how a brain injury can effect us in our daily lives.

 We tried doing up buttons without a hand or without sight.

 We have been drawing and creating neurons.

 We also completed some activities in our brain booklets.

 We have coloured in brain templates to create a brain hat.

 We also attempted to write with our non-dominant hand and without sight. 

Technology Lesson

Today after lunch we had a technology lesson with Mrs Shin and we had to create a new piece of technology by combining two already manufactured items. It was really fun and ALL the people in room 10 enjoyed it. Here is a photo of what I did.That was what we did on the afternoon of Tuesday the 9th of August 2016 THE END By Rory F

Pipe Cleaner Tower Challenge Lol

Miss Shin gave us a challenge to do in groups of 3 and 4. Miss Shin gave us 4 pipe cleaners each and a tennis ball. It was very difficult because the tennis ball was so so heavy and it was difficult because no one from any group could hold the tennis ball or the pipe cleaner straight up by its self at the beginning. The other group's ideas were great it was so so fun that our class would really love to do it again.

Hail!

This is all the hail found by Rory, around room 10. We were all so excited to see the amount of hail that had fallen today. Most of the hail rocks are all the same size and some were really big. The photo shows how much hail Rory collected! That looks like quite a lot don't you think?

Maori Language Week!

In Room 10 we have been learning about how to display the weather in Maori. It has been very exciting and in the photo you can see William, Senna and Rory all engrossed about their learning.

Risk Game

Risk Game

Taking Risks

Room 10 embarked on a challenge today that combines developing key competencies, PE and Statistics. The goal was to throw three paper balls into a hoop successfully and the risk factor was to decide how far away to throw them from. The further away the more points you could earn.... But if you miss then you get no points! After creating levels of difficulty and measuring out the intervals, the students made their choices and then tested their risk factor. Round two will be interesting when they can strategise to beat another team. Round three will be tallying the data to decide which interval has the best reward vs risk.

In The Library

1st June 2016 Every Wednesday, we go to the library to borrow books and after that we read with a buddy or on our own. Here is a photo of Anna and Jasmine who has left Sunnybrae reading together. We like going to the library and get lost in a book and use our imagination. The library is a place filled with different styles of writing by different authors. Do you like going to the library? Well we know that our class Room 10 loves going to libraries!

Playing Hockey!

30th May 2016 Today we played hockey! First of all we warmed up by dribbling and tapping the ball to the end and ran back. Then we played numbers. Mrs Knight called out a number and that number of people at the front of the line had to run around the first cone which marked their opponent's goal, and had to run and get the ball and hit it through their goal (cones.) We had a draw of 4 all. Hockey isn't about winning, it's about trying your best and having fun!
