New Pool Celebration

Yesterday we had a celebration for our new pool  We got to swim, go on the water slide, two bouncy castles, and we also got free sausages.

The new pool  has a spot for the little kids and touldlers. When we first got it we could hardly even breathe because it was that cold! We warmed up a bit after we swam.

swimming in the new pool

On Tuesday we had our opening of our new pool. It was so much fun we had a sausage two bouncy castles and a new water slide from the left over money from the pool.We also had a swim in the new pool. I ( Jamie h) got to jump in the pool first with 14 other people  from the school because early on in the year we did the swimmathon and did a lot of laps. Room ten got to go in the pool first out of all the classes in the school the next day. It was a bit chilly but we got used to it after a while.

Power animals

For about a week we have been learning about KIDS SKILL'S.We all have a skill to learn.Mine is to remember my opinion is different from others and Lily's is to let others have their way.We all have names for them.Mine is the Tiger skill Lily's is Shadow cat terra spin. We also have power animals. Mine is a black pegagus and Lily's is plusal and minal.They all have to be fantasy. We all have to think of our power animal when things are hard. When we think of our power animal  when things are tough we have little seenteces that they say to us. I would like mine to say ''I believe you can do it because I can see it in your eyes." Now you know all about Room10's power animals.

Kia Kaha

Kia Kaha Last Tuesday Constable Garland came to room 10 to teach us about bullying. First we looked at a photo and we had to think about there differences. It was quite challenging because Constable Garland told us that they all came from different countries so we couldn't say they came from the same place. That photo was in black and white then he gave us the same photo but in colour so that made it a bit more easy. After we did the photo stuff we started to talk about bullys. Then on Wednesday we did Kia Kaha with Mrs Coffey we drew pictures of what we thought a bully looked like. Most people drew pictures of big guys with bulkey strong muscles in a dark alley with dodgey tatoos and tatty clothes body armor and knocked out teeth(i did ) but we were the ones who were wrong.You don't get bullys like that at schools a bully could be a adorably cute little girl who if you tell on them they say "ME I would never ever do such a thing like that" and then put on a sweet smile for the teacher it could be anyone! But when we did our pictures about 65 or 70% of the people in our class did a boy/man I think they did because its normally the guy who get in the fights using violence and bad words, ending up geting black eyes, scody bruises and lots of blood dripping out of their mouth and nose but thats just in the movies (eg) Indiana Jones.Anyway back to the bullying.Mrs Coffey made this kia kaha box, if we see or get in a situation of bullying we get a special piece of paper and write what happened and it will help us not bottling up our feelings.What I meen by bottling up means when something happens and you don't tell anyone about it you will evnetually fell sick and explode like the fizzie in the bottle and everything will just come out of your mouth so when something happens you need to tell someone about it because you don't want to feel sick. We also learnt that there is always a bystander,a victim and a bully.For a bystander to help stop the bullying or sort it out they could start a conversation and say why? and how come?.With the bully they should take some timeout to feel angry and calm down because tough people are false.Then the last person on the list is the victim should be assertive and say something that will take the heat off.(maybe a fib).

Room 10 Camp Marahau

Here are some of our brief thoughts on the highlights and challenges for us on camp last week.

Room 10 Maths Group - Geometry

We have been learning about Geometry - Transformation, and using mathematical language such as reflect, translate, rotate, lines of symmetry and the order of rotation. We then made a modern twist on a tapa cloth design. We didn't use traditional pacifica designs, we could choose whatever designs we wanted, but we had to show rotation reflection and translation in our design. We were then starting to show some negative and positive space, but unfortunately we ran out of time to finish these this term.

Maths and Chocolate Cake

Create your own video slideshow at animoto.com.
At the start of this term, the Room 10 Maths Group was learning about measurement, capacity, volume, and mass. We were learning about non-standard units for measurement as well as standard units such as litres and millilitres, grams and kilograms. To put our knowledge into practical use, in small groups, we made some play-dough and also a chocolate cake. Here are some pictures of us making play-dough and chocolate cakes.

Mid Winter Swim

This happened a few months ago, but I have only just got around to embedding it into our blog!!! It looked like a great day and I wish I had been able to be there too. We are using Voicethread as a way of orally communicating our ideas, and we are learning to speak clearly so that we can easily be understood.

Genuis cafe

At the Genius Cafe there was two days on one of the days students taught students and on the second day students taught teachers.There were ipads with about nine or more pages of games there were ipad ones and ipad twos. There was Storybird I made a story called One Stormy Night where a polar lost his way to the fancy fish mongers restaurant. Then there was a video called saely or something like that where he was a robot and he had some cool as moves.

Room10's suter art gallery vist.

Yesterday 15 September.Room 10 went for a vist to the Suter Art Gallery to learn about the rugby world cup players.We played a game where you had to pick one of the players and look at it hard then turn around and your group that you were in had to ask you questions about that player, Like what team he was in what colour his top was and all sorts of things. We got to make rosettes and put them on players that had lost their game

Learn math in an easy way

In room 10 we have a math class for only year 6'S. In room 10 we have been looking at fractions and decimal points. We have two groups that learn about fractions but ones harder than the other. In my group we have learnt to work out muckey fractions like 5 over 2. We divide the bottem number into the to the top number and see how many times it goes into the number.So the anwser is 2 and 1 fith. In our class most people get what we learnt.

science project

Hi this is our project it is called cookies are yum  our question was how much chocolate chips in 58g of cookie. We predicted Griffins but Cookie time came first .To get the chips away from the cookie we put them in water and sieved it.

hockey

In school we are doing the science fair. Our title was ALL EYES ON HOCKEY. For our question we did what hockey ball is the easiest to see?
Are prediction was completely different than the result. Our prediction was the white hockey ball.
It came 2nd on the school field and it came 3rd on the sand turf. The orange came 1st.

Lily and Jenifer's science project.

Lily and I had wondered about what to do for our science project for days.Then we found one that suited us. Mrs Coffey said doing one on dried cat food would be a really good idea.
So we started planning our project of how we will find our answer to what cat food is most preferred by a cat?
In the end we had our science project all worked out. We needed to test the cat food by a cat testing it and we would know if she liked it by how much she ate.
In the end we found out that Whiskas was most liked.

Our science investigation

Our class is doing  science investigations.Our investigation is what activity will make your heart beat faster running,walking and star jumps.We found out that star jumps made your heart beat faster.

facebook problems

We are deciding whether or not facebook is safe.
                                                          
Good things.                                                                                                                                                                                                    
You can chat.                                                
You can play games.                 
You can load pictures and videos.  lose in games.
You can talk to people far away   
You can put smiley faces.
You can poke people.
You can throw food at people.

Bad things.
 people can pretened to be your friend.
They can say bad words.  
They can hack in to your computer.
lose in games.
people can see what you post.

Over all
Facebook is an Awesome place
to be. Remember to lock the settings of what you want to  hide.

Cyber Saftey

 Don't go on websites you don't know.If somthing goes wrong show an adult and then exit out of it.
Respect intellectual property.
Protect yourself and others.
Click on hector to hide bad things and then show a teacher.
So remember be SAFE!
I understand that I must not at time use the internet,email,mobil phone or any ICT equpment to be mean,rude,offensive, or to bully,harass, or in any way harm anyone else or the school itself, even if it's meant as a joke.I must have a letter from home and permission from school before I bring any ICT equipment\device from home.
Don't go on websites you're not allowed to have a go on especially facebook 'twiter'youtube'and adult websites with out teachers permision.
You need a adult aound  to know what to do if you get stuck on  websites that you  get mean  message that you do not like.So know you know what to do to keep safe.

Argument about Facebook!!!!

We think that Facebook is good because you can catch up with friends and family .Also you can play really fun games like ZOMBE LANE and CAT and DOG plus FARM VILLE.But we think it s not so good because people under 13 that go on can get hurt inside from online bulling that can turn into off line bulling.
We think it is not good to be on facebook lots of people get hurt.

Mihi

Kia Ora...

We have been learning about mihi and how it is used to greet people and tell them important things about the speaker. We have also been learning to think about things, people, places and ideas that are important to us and about symbols we could use to represent them for our visual mihi.
