Temper like an erupting volcano

Alyssa wrote a story board from the inquiry in Term 3 on Natural Disasters. The WALT was to create a short narrative on a natural disaster. Aiesha and Hope helped film. They wanted to create a video similar to Room 9's on 'What causes an earthquake. The girls filmed short frames and I had to work out how to make it into a movie. I think we all did really well!

Partner Yoga

Room 8 learnt how to work together in an activity called ‘Partner Yoga’. Partner yoga is like doing normal yoga but with someone else. It was really awesome and fun.

Did you know that Room 8 was struggling a lot because some of these yoga poses were very hard to do?  Like what Dane and Kahukura are doing.

Minefield

My minefield experience.

Before our writing assessment Room 8 played a game called ‘Minefield’. In this game you need to buddy up. The game is simple, all you needed to was dodge objects that were in your way; like desks , chairs and other classroom equipment. But the trick is you are blindfolded and your buddy need to instruct you! The main idea of this game is your listening and your teamwork. During my turn I was confused and I couldn’t hear my buddy due to the blindfold blocking my ears a
little. After a few attempts I finally crossed the minefield safely. By Jarrod

      THE GOLF COURSE

On a beautiful Saturday morning  Dad woke me up
and asked me if I want to play golf? Where´ I asked ´ an
adults golf course´ Yeah!´I replied I got in the shower, had
breakfast and we got in the car and went to Chamberlain
park golf course.

I was so excited!. There was a putting green that we
could practice our chips and putts. Before we started
our round of golf I met this kid Sam him and his Dad
wanted to team up. Dad and I said ´Yes´ we went to first tee
of the day.

I teed off and it was about 110 yards. When we got to
the 9th hole Sam and Mike left the golf course because
they only booked for nine holes but dad and I were booked
for 18 holes. It started raining and I was getting cold.
Dad had an umbrella. I still played. Not long after the
rain stopped we were already at the 18th hole.
Dad and I drove back home and we were both starving.

Overall it was a good game of golf I have never been the
that course so it was a bit of a surprise I wish we hired a
golf cart because it was a lot of walking with a trundler.

Earthquake House

WALT: Learning from each other, Learning with each other

AWESOME!!
On Wednesday it was tuakana teina day, tuakana teina means younger to older. Which means that a senior class has to buddy up with a junior class.

Firstly, Ms Fepuleai did the roll then she explained to us how our behaviour should look and sound like. She told us ways of how we were going to help our buddies from Room 3 keep up with our earthquake proof houses.

Secondly, we then had to walk down to Room 3 so we can start working on creating our earthquake proof houses. When we arrived in Room 3 we looked at a slide based on earthquakes, Ms Fepuleai wrote some of the rules we were going to be looking at while we were answering some of Miss Gormly's questions. We watched a video filled with different types of ideas of how we can make our basic house earthquake proof.

Thirdly,  we all went outside so Ms Fepuleai and Miss Gormly can put us into our groups. In my group was Savannah, Cheska, Tasi and myself. Our idea to make our basic house earthquake proof was to use four long rubber bands and nine red furry  bendy sticks ( Pipe Sticks ). After we finished making our basic house earthquake proof we had to go and tie it onto the playground then Miss Gormly tested it. 

In Conclusion, “ we had a FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC Time ”.

Three Commandments

      Boxing Pax feedback.

Walt learn how to box using the 3 commandments.
When I first went to boxing I thought we were going to punch some bags but I realised it was more of a discipline kinda way. So I thought to myself this might be fun. So I wanted to go and I was right it was fun in a way. First my gloves were sweaty and I wanted to quit but I did not give up and I learnt self discipline.
The three commandments
Respect
I will have respect to my coach, my peers and the sport of boxing
Discipline I will have discipline to turn up to every boxing session and give my 100%
Safety I will not cause harm to others and only practice boxing in a safe environment under the guidance of a coach.

I would love to do this again!

Don't eat the snow!

Magic Snow

What a surprise, we made magic snow! On Wednesday morning,
the students in Room 8 did a science experiment.

Firstly, Ms Bracey explained the history of magic snow.
The product of the magic snow is called polymer.
Polymer is mostly used by scientist.
WARNING, This product is not suitable for younger children,
under the age of 5.

Secondly,  after Ms Bracy explained, we followed her
instructions and got on with the experiment.
The materials we used was a packet of polymer,  
plastic cup that was transparent and ½ cup of cold water.

At last, we poured the packet of polymer into
the transparent plastic cup, then we poured the water into the same cup.
The polymer absorbed all the water, and made magical snow.
It grew so fast, that everyone squealed. It felt squishy and slimy.

Listening to chatterboxes

    

WALT:Using your listening skills.


How to make a Chatterbox.

I done this chatterbox with all Room 8 and a junior in the class. We were doing a chatterbox that looked like mountains all together. It was happening last Wednesday when the bell rang.
I was in the class with Room 8 students and with the teacher. We were doing this so we can get ideas from it for when we write our recount and I was excited about it.

Firstly, We were given a magazine, tore out a page and folded each corner into the center. When we folded the magazine there was lots of folding to do and there was lots of triangle´s to fold. We seem to be folding forever until we make a chatterbox.

Finally, We got to play with the chatterbox. When I made the chatterbox I straight away thought it looked like 4 mountains, volcanoes, stuck all together. When we finished it Ms Bracey said we can play with it until the end of the day or until we do more learning to do about fractions, maths, reading, inquiry, cybersmart.

Me, Myself and I

In New Zealand there was a boy that loved to explore. He is 11 yrs old.

The boy wants to be an explorer but he is still in primary school.

One day the boy was sick of being told that he’s too young and weak to be a explorer.

Then he went to Rangitoto because Rangitoto is a volcano.

The boy read a nonfiction story that there was crystals and gems in a volcano.

Suddenly Rangitoto erupted.

Auckland, I liked how you used future tense.

Auckland, I liked the way you spelt everything correctly.

I am a 10 year old kid that likes to explore, I love to go on
adventures around the world so I know what is happening, but I have enmity issues like a vomiting volcano. I go on mystery adventures
when the sun is out. I love to explore around any volcano like Mount
Ruapehu.

Alyssa, I really like the way you wrote a simile describing the  character

Falakika.

Spewing lava and molten rocks.

 Introduction. In New Zealand there was a boy that likes to develop facts about a volcano on a island called Rangitoto At the moment I was a scientist but he wished that he could go on a ferry to Rangitoto Island But he is scared of his boss.
But one day his boss told him to go home because he said he was sick but he lied.
Then the scientist went on a ferry to Rangitoto but the volcano started spewing out lava and massive rocks.
 Who? The character is me,myself and I.
What? The volcano started spewing out lava and massive rocks.
Where? It was at Rangitoto Island. When? It was to day.
Why? Because the temperature of the volcano was to high so it spewed out massive rocks and lava. Vaka, I really like the way you have remembered to do the three key elements in the introduction of a narrative and put in bold and to do the 5 W’s Rawiri
