Word Art

Over the last 2 weeks we have been writing positive words to describe each other.  We used these words to make some word art.  Here are some examples of what we created.

Student Blogs

Check out our individual student blogs.   The links are on the left side of this blog, just click on a name and go to their blog.

ASB Get Wise

We had a visitor from the 'ASB Get Wise' programme come and teach us about financial literacy.  We learned about the concept of earning, spending wisely and saving.
We played a game where our stick figures went on holiday to Fiji.  We needed to make decisions about how to pay for things like accomodation and tickets, choosing to either use cash or credit card.  We also needed to decide which deal would be the best. 
We found it quite stressful at times, but enjoyed it!  We learned to ask lots of questions and research the deals.

Midland Line Athletics 2018

Yesterday we had our Midland Line Athletics in Greymouth.  The children all gave it their best effort and produced some great results!

Pet Day 2018

           

 

We recently held our annual pet day.  Each child completes a pet project on one of their pets or a pet they would love to own.  On the day pets are brought along to be judged, and the students participate in workshops.  The winners of each category receive amazing prizes from our wonderful sponsors, thank you!

This is Mia's information report on her horse, which was part of her pet project.  She also completed an outstanding poster too.

Fair Go Ad Awards

In room 6 we participated in the Fair Go Ad Awards.  We chose a special place and designed a video about why the place is special to us.  We needed to make sure our message was clear, and it could only be 30 seconds long.  Here is an example from one of the groups.
Next time we need to make sure we plan the videos in detail before filming.

El Gregoe

Today we were privileged to have El Gregoe back at our school for another entertaining show.  He impressed us with his magic and ventriloquism.  El Gregoe's message to us all was to treat others how we wish to be treated. 

Spelling Relay

We got outside and enjoyed the sun!  In relay teams each member had to run down to the other end of the court and look at their spelling list.  Then they ran back and wrote the word down correctly before handing the pen over to the next runner.  The winning team had the most words recorded after 5 minutes.

Avatar Art

Year 6 have joined our class this term so we created some new artwork of our whole class.  We used 'Cartoonify' to make avatars of ourselves.  Using the avatars as a reference we enlarged the image onto A2 paper.  We used vivids for the outlines and painted them.  Do you recognise any of them?

24 Hour Time

In math we have been learning to convert between analogue, digital and 24 hour time.  Here is a slide show about 24 hour time.  Can you answer the questions or do you need a little help?

Posted Splashzone

Posted Splash Zone

In class we are reading a book named 'Posted' by John David Anderson. Here is my splash zone drawing. The Splash zone is in the olden days before special effects come to be, they got an animals bladder full of  animal blood and hid it under their clothes.  During a fighting scene it would be punctured. Here is my drawing.

Our Digestive System

We have been learning about our digestive systems after a visit from Harold.  Today we were able to dissect some of the organs from a pigs digestive system.  A pigs digestive system is very similar to a humans.

We are currently reading 'Frindle' by Andrew Clements.  In the book Nick changes the word for 'pen' to 'frindle'.  The whole 5th grade photo is taken with everyone saying 'Frindle' and holding a pen!

Welcome to 2018

Really looking forward to getting to know all the wonderful students in Room 6!  Keep up the hard work.
