My Animoto (juggling)

This term room12 is doing juggling.  We started with juggling two balls and before we move onto three we had to juggle sitting on the ground, sitting on a chair, standing up and walking around 1/3 of the basketball court and also try juggle with one hand.  I am still on juggling 2 but I hope to move on with three some time soon.

High Jump

At the start of term 4, for P.E room12 started to do high jump for athletics training. The thing I like about high jump is getting over the pole.  My goal is to try jump 1 metre.  Here is a photo of me doing high jump.

Long 'a' spelling patterns

At the end of term 3 the blends were doing the long 'a' spelling sound.  We had to do a gloster or a wordle.  This is my gloster of the long 'a' sound.

Production

On Wednesday the 12th and Thursday the 13th it was the school production.  The production theme was Colour my World and it was about all the colours in the world disappearing.  I was in the Air scene.

3 things I enjoyed were dancing, watching the bee movie and wearing a cool costume.
2 emotions I felt were nevous and excited on the first night because of all the people but normal on the second night because I had already done it the first night.
1 thing I found challanging was trying not to get pushed around in the wings.

Colour Poem

This is a splice video.  It is about colour poems that room 12 did in week 6.  We had to chose the three best colour poems and then put it on to splice.  This is my end result for my colour poem.

Maori Language Week

In week 2 room 12 celabrated Maori Language week and for one of our activities we had to teach room 5 and room 4 the Maori body song. We also had to make a body quiz.  Thos is how the song goes.

Mahunga, pakahiwi, puku, hope, wae wae              

Mahunga, pakahiwi, puku, hope, wae wae

Mahunga, pakahiwi, puku, hope, wae wae

Tarthinga, karu, iha, wana e!

My Discovery Speech on Easter Island

Welcome all.  This is my speech video of the discovery of Easter Island.  Two things I think I did well with are eye contact and a clear voice.
I think I need to work on moving around and more expression.

Room 12's Assembly

 

On Friday the 25th of May room12 shared our learning on remembrance.  The assembly was about three time travellers that found out that two mad scientist had made a time machine.  The time travellers travelled in the time machine on a journey to World War 2 and saw mini skits of what it was like. As you can see at the top of the page there are some pictures of the assembly.

Maths

In my learning log the recent thing I have learnt was my maths.  For maths we have been learning some strategies.  But the one strategy the group is learning is adding in groups of tens. e.g.
34+ __   = 81
44, 54, 64, 74, 84-3=81
 So I have 5 tens to to get to 84 and then -3 to get back to 81 and it =47
Here is a photo of my maths in my learning log.

Remembrance

For Remembrance in room 12 we have been doing heaps of activities about Anzac.  One of the activities that we did was the Gallipoli slang.  The Gallipoli slang was about a bunch of words muddled up on bit of paper and we had to put them together to what we think they were. We also had an activity about the Anzac's travelling to Gallipoli and finding countries and trying to work out how long it took for the ANZAC's to get to Gallipoli.  The activity I enjoyed the most was making wreaths.  We got into groups of four and made poppies and glued them on a paper plate.  If you want to see more come to room12.

Gym sport

On the 2nd of April room12 went to the hall to do gymnastics. There were two ladies from sport waikato that showed room12 how to do the gymnastics moves correctly. Since I already do gymnastics it was really basic for me. A few things we did were scorpion kicks, spring board jumps, bunny hops and more. If you want a few tips here are some: Stay tight, have fun and enjoy it. Hopefully those tips were helpful:) Look at me doing my gymnastics!

Roman Numerals

Hi there. If you look to the left you will see a poster on Roman Numerals. Emily and I decided together on what our poster was going to be about. First Emily and I had to do a draft in my maths book to know what we were doing and to know what patterns we were going to use. After the draft Emily and I went onto the good copy on an A3 size paper. The poster took Emily and I 3 days to complete. If you want to check your answers to these questions come to room12.

If x is 10 and I 1 what is 11?

If L is 50 what is 70?

What is 150 in Roman Numerals?

Swimmimg Sports

On Thursday the 8th of March it was the senior swimming sports at the town pools. At school the whole syndicate crammed into two buses then off we go to the pools with our bag, hats and heaps more. Finally the syndicate arrived at the pools. We all crammed into the changing rooms and all came out in one bit ready for our races. We all have house colours and the house colours are Ngata, Hillary, Rutherford and Baton.
