Weekly Update

Ramere 28 Pipiri

Hello and welcome to the second to last blog of this term.  This week there has been quite a bit happening such as -We won free pizza from the PTA, we had a welcoming ceremony today and there was a sausage sizzle on Wednesday.

The food topics

This week Room 5 won a pizza party from the PTA.  We won it because we returned all the money for the spelling bee first.  On Wednesday there was a sausage sizzle.  The sausages were delicious and since the Hillary Hub were away doing something room 5 had to put the sausages in the baskets and give them to the classes.

Whats been going on in the school

Today we had a welcome ceremony to welcome all the new people in our school.  We all lined up outside and sang E te Ariki then we all went inside the hall and did some prayers.  After that we had a really long morning tea.  We also had a spelling bee a couple of weeks ago.  It was good and I got all my words right.

Whats been going on in the Batten team

In the Batten team we have been doing financial literacy.  My group is doing Ice-cream and smoothies.  The ice-cream flavours are crunchie bar (hokey pokey) and strawberry.  For the smoothies flavours it is going to be a DIY type of thing, where you get a list and you write down what fruits you want and whether or not you want juice, milk or yogurt (you can have the all).  We also had community time and I was on with Emila and Katelyn.  Community time is where the Batten team comes together in a classroom and the people who are on do the slide.  There is a prayer a song and time for the teachers to talk.

Whats been going on in room 5

In room 5 we have had R.E.  It has been about the holy spirit and the different symbol and what they mean.  We have been doing a slide about oil.  I never knew that oil was a symbol of the Holy Spirit until now.  We have also been doing this new game about science and the earth.  You can win cool prizes for your class so room 5 spent some time playing the game and getting points.

Thank you for reading.  Come back next week when it's finally the last week of term.

Sparkly update

 

Hello!  Today is sparkle day! Sparkle day is about being kind and putting a sparkle in someone's day.  This is a link to room 5's favourite song(well not everyone likes it but I do :D) Video

We have also been doing new prayers.  It's mainly about colouring while listening to God.  I really enjoy doing the new prayers and I can't wait to do it next year.

Winter sports was good we tied with Thorington Golden.  It was a really good game and I enjoyed it.  I can't wait to see who we play against next week.

Production is coming up soon to and the sign up sheets were out on Tuesday.  I chose to do a main role for the production.  I don't know what happens now but I'm really excited to audition for the production.

I have Saturday netball on tomorrow as well.  I really hope that I'm a defence player because that's my favourite position.

In R.E. we have been learning about the holy spirit and the different symbols of the holy spirit.  This is my R.E. slideshow ------->

Thank you very much for reading my blog see you next week. Isla

Weekly update

Friday 14 June

Sorry for the long wait.  I haven't been posting lately because of chapter chat.  This week has been pretty so so but it was kind of fun.

This week I have enjoyed financial literacy.  Financial literacy is something we're doing for inquiry right now.  So we pick groups (I'm with Simon and Isaac) and we decided that we are going to make smoothies candles and bath bombs.

One thing I need to work on is my narratives.  I really enjoy writing narratives but I'm finding this quite hard.  I like to write random stories about crazy things but I'm finding it difficult because now I have to think about what's going to happen.

An interesting thing I've learnt is 7 aside netball.  On Thursday my team had a bye for winter sports.  We weren't the only team with a bye though, one of the year 7 netball teams had a bye as well.  So my team got random positions and we learnt how to play 7 aside netball.  I was goal defence.  I really like goal defence because it is the exact same as normal defence.  I really hope that I'm goal defence next year for winter sport and Saturday netball.

I also really liked the visit from Middleton Grange.  I saw the orchestra and the jazz band.  It was really loud but really cool and I really enjoyed it.  The orchestra was good but the jazz band was my favourite by far.

Thank you for reading my blog.
