We Love To Blog - Film Festival 2019 Room 6

Room 6 decided to make a film about how important blogging is.  We chose to use the concept of an old New Zealand Lamb advert.  As a class we discussed what to include in our film and took votes when there were more than one option to ensure every student had a say in how the film would relate and be relevant to Room 6.

We had a lot of fun with this project and hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Kiwi sport - balancing

In kiwi sport, Room 6 are learning to balance with our teacher. We had fun doing the activities and giving them a go.

In our first few weeks of Kiwi Can we learnt about the different emotions we have and how we express them. 

  After a few weeks our next topic was Overcoming challenges. For our activity we were put into three groups and our challenge was to finish an obstacle course.

This term Room 6 has been taking swimming lessons at the YMCA Panmure Pools each Thursday. Here are some photos that we took during our swimming sessions.

Over time, a few outstanding students were able to start swimming in the bigger pool.

In our last session of swimming Room 6 had fun playing with the water and was able to float on our backs going down the length of the pool.

Everyone has learnt so much from our instructors and progressed each lesson.

Rugby World Cup.

Rugby World Cup

Last week friday Panmure bridge celebrated the start of the International Rugby World Cup event. Each classroom supported a individual team by coming to school dressed in their team's colours.

Room 6 supported Ikale Tahi the Tongan Team. Everyone came dressed in the colours red and white. 

During assembly we had a surprise visit from visitors that performed a pacific dance for us. Mr Wong also performed something special for us and explained a bit of history behind the instrument he was playing.

Cricket

Room 6 were lucky enough to have a session with the University Cricket Club.  

Here are some photos to show our learning.

 First we learnt about cricket and what
we were going to do.  Some of us had not heard of
cricket before so it was very exciting to learn
about something new.

 Then we learnt about running and stopping
the ball and getting it back to the
cones as fast as we could.

 Next we learnt how to catch a ball by 

linking our little fingers together.

Aryah and Emmy throwing and catching the ball.

Next we learnt how to hit the balls off the 

cones so we could run between the wickets.

Sweet-E and Jeremiah running between 

the wickets before they get run out.

Room 6 had so much fun learning and playing a new game.

Fathers Day

Father's Day

We have made Father's Day cards for our dads, 

grandpas, uncles and mums.  

We put a picture of ourselves on the front then used 

glitter to make a frame around the photo.  

Inside the card we wrote a short story about what 

we love about our dad.

 
Some of our stories are:

Isaac said he likes it when his uncle gives him fish.

Micalea likes it when her dad gives her lollies.

Aryah likes it when her dad pulls funny faces.

Devinah likes it when her mum takes her to the shops.

Marshmallow and noodle structures

Structures

Our inquiry STEAM topic for term 3 is Structures.  

We have been reading two books relating to structures - The Three Little Pigs and The Three Billy Goats Gruff.  As a class we have been  discussing how to make a structure strong enough to not be blown over or to not collapse once it was made.  For this experiment we used marshmallows and pasta noodles.  While making our structures there was lots of talking to each other about how to go about using the marshmallows and noodles without it breaking when joining them together.

Malama has designed a house shaped structure.

Jeremiah's structure is the Sky Tower.  He used marshmallows as the feet
of the structure so it could stand alone.
