Why The All Blacks Should Come to Room 19 by Olivia

Why The All Blacks Should Come to Room 19

In my opinion I think the All Blacks should come to our class because then they can tell us what it felt winning the rugby world cup, for all of New Zealand.

Firstly I want the All Blacks to come to our class because then they can teach us some rugby skills. For example passing, kicking and scoring a try. It will be cool if they could teach us some rugby skills so we know how to do some cool moves that they used to win the rugby world cup.

Secondly I think we should have the All Blacks over, at our class because we are huge fans and it would be cool to meet them. I think it would be cool meeting them because then we will get to know them better. For example what is their favorite rugby move is and what they like most about rugby.

Finally I think they should come over because then they can teach us how they keep fit. If they taught us we can use the tips for school events e.g. athletics and cross country.

Pictures from some of Room 19's Homework task.  They had to send a photo of themselves dressed up as an All Blacks Fan or rugby player.

NewZealand Shake Out

On the 15th of October it was NZ Shake Out. NZ Shake Out is when everyone in NZ practices the earthquake drill which is Drop Cover Hold. 1st you drop to the ground. 2nd you slide under a table or anything you can fit under. 3rd you hold onto your neck with one hand and hold on to the leg of the table with the other hand. We practice this drill because NZ wants us to be prepared if an earthquake actually hit NewZealand and so everyone knows what to do. Earthquakes are caused when the 2 plates (that hold the world) wobble or move. If everyone in NZ is doing it you do it as well. " Are YOU ready for an earthquake?" By Olivia

Making Poi - Maori Language Week

For Maori Language Week we have been practising Te Reo Maori in our daily conversations.  At the end of the week for art we made a poi.  It was the first time for many of the students and the first time to plait.  The class really enjoyed learning how to make a poi.  We hope to use them in a waiata soon.

The Mind Lab by Olivia

The Mind Lab

On the 28th of July Room19 and Room22 went to the NZ Mind Lab to learn about electrical circuits.

First Room 19 and Room 22 clampered onto the long school bus and sat down on the seats.

During the bus ride Amelia and I spotted some harakeke in our community.

When we arrived at the Mind Lab we walked through an entry which said "secret entry".
Inside there was a mat which we had to sit on so we could listen to see what we were doing and how to do it. If a boy needed to go toilet they would have to ballet dance to the toilet and if a girl wanted to go toilet they would have to moonwalk.

Then a man called D and a Lady called coco then split us up into our different classes.
Coco took us into a room with lots of computers and told us to sit down on the ground.

She then showed us what to do and how to do it. We had to figure out how we could connect the alligator clips to make all the light bulbs on the computer light up.

Next we had morning tea and some boys ballerina danced to the toilet and some girls moowalked to the toilet.
At the end of morning tea Coco came to pick us up and then we walked to the room with all the computers and listened to Coco tell us our next challenge. We had to try and make a drum kit using a dinosaur on the computer and some materials like tinfoil, play doh and paper with a picture on it.
I had to do it with a 4 person group and my group was Me, Sharika, Zoe and Kayla.
We used play doh, tin foil and a piece of paper which we drawed a square on and it worked!!

 Then we went around and we discovered if we could figure out how to do other people's drum kits.
At the end of the session we packed up, walked back, picked up our bags and waited in line.
On the way back to school I had a recap of everything I learnt on the trip.
My favourite part was when we made the Drum Kits.



Planting Day at Pourewa Reserve

All the Year 3 classes were part of the planting day at Pourewa Reserve to help restore it back to native bush.  It was an awesome day and experience for all the students. We had a very special welcome in Maori by the members of Ngati Whatua.

Students, teachers and parents from Meadowbank and some other local schools helped plant at least 1000 native trees.

We learned the Maori names of the trees/plants we were planting.  They are:

tarata (lemonwood), ti kouka (cabbage tree), kowhai and koromiko (shrub).

   

Student Blogs

Room 19 have started their own learning blogs.  If you look on the right hand side of the page you will see a list of names.  Please feel free to click on the blogs and read some of their posts.  They will be sharing published writing, examples of work across curriculum areas as well as sharing some personal events and milestones.

We love to read comments and any feedback about our work too!! Please drop by and comment!!
