A day in Room 20...

We haven't posted in a while so we thought we'd put on some photos and videos of some of the things we get up to on a typical day.

Reading - at the moment we are doing Literature Circles. Everyone is in a group who are reading a novel together. Our novels are 'Holes', 'Bridge to Terabithia', 'Charlie and the War Against the Grannies' and 'The Last Wild'. Each week they have an agreed amount to read, and a different task to complete to do with what they have read. Then at the end of the week they have a group meeting where they discuss what they've read and share what they created for their task. We're over halfway through our novels.

Maths - At the moment we are learning about statistics. Today one of our maths groups was learning how to display data in a stem and leaf graph and a histogram.

Art - Matariki

To celebrate the Maori new year coming up later this month, we are doing a very hands-on creativity challenge. Students have chosen between the 'Wearable Art' or 'Make It' options and are using Matariki as their inspiration. Students have chosen to learn how to weave flax stars, design their own hangi innovation, and we have lots of carefully thought out outfits under construction. Watch this space!

Anzac Presentations

Hey Everyone! It's Catherine, and today we were lucky enough to have some awesome Anzac presentations. Thanks to Oscar, Henry, Caitlin, and Taylor for sharing! Look at some cool photos:

Lunch time sports semi final

Yesterday we had our semi finals for non stop cricket room 20 were vs room 22. Room 22 were batting first they did quite well, then it was room 20 turn to bat. 3 of our best players got out first bowl. So the score was not good for room 20. So the score was 18 to room 20 and 35 to room 22. Good game room 22!!!

Strike!

Today we were treated to a fantastic performance by the well known percussion group, Strike.

We were blown away by their talent and we have some very inspired percussionists among us!

New Classroom Layout!

Room 20 was lucky enough to have a brand new Blue table, and to re design the classroom. Everyone came up with a new layout, and voted on the best one! We decided on Jim's Layout. Look at a couple photos of our New Classroom!
