Shared Lunch

Thank you to everyone who supplied food for the shared lunch on Friday, there was loads of yummy food to eat and I felt very full afterwards!! The children got their class treat from me, lots of chocolates to eat!!!
I think Kassidi had a lovely last day and we all wish her well at her new school and house. Keep in touch Kassidi.
The blog is really up and running now as I pass on more responsibility onto the children. They are learning how to download all the picture and voice files and saving them on the computer. They are learning how to make movies and to upload everything onto the blog.
I think you will agree that the children are doing a fantastic job of contributing and making this blog their own.
Parents and relatives, please comment on the children's comments, tell them what you think about their learning, tell them what you would like to see on the blog. It's our opportunity to share with you what we do in the classroom everyday!
Thanks then.
Miss Edwards

How we learn maths

Everyday we take out our little whitebords and pens. Miss Edwards calls out maths questions and we all have to answer them by writing the answers on the boards and holding them up.

Glenbrook Trip

On Thursday 22 April 2010 syndicate 3 went to the Glenbrook train station, on this fascinating train trip I enjoyed riding on ww644 which is the name of the engine, I enjoyed this because we had the opportunity to go on a very bumpy train ride, and to be the very first school to ride all the way to Waiuku in the last 42 years!
By Hannah

Glenbrook Trip

Our Trip to Glenbrook Train Station. I enjoyed the steam train because it was cool how we where the first school group in 42 years to be taken all the way to Waiuku train station. One thing I learned was never to stick your head out the window, it hurts if the window falls on your head !!!!! By Samuel

Our Train Reports

On Monday last week we started doing our train report. We had to write about trains of the present, past and the future. In our class we have our own train books and we had to write about something interesting in the books we had picked and and I was writting about bullet trains and we watched a train on youtube on the internet Exclorer. It was a bullet train, it was fast and then we watched the fastest bullet train, it could go over 500kph. It went fast when it went past the people and it was so fast we watched it over and over again, it was so cool and fast. I like our train topic because we get to learn about all the trains all over world. Trains are exciting, I know some of the kinds of trains steam trains, bullet trains, trains pulled hores and maglove trains. There are more names and there are trains that go in an underground cave for minutes and sometimes for a little while. Bullet train's are the fastest trains on earth there only in Japan. There is a big train in Glenbrook railway station, it's a girl and, it's called Diana and she's got a sister but I cant remember her name. My mum's friend Puna's boy know's her name.

I wonder who acted Thomas the Tank Engine, James, Percy, and Gordon?

Lunch Time Rugby

At lunch time every Monday and Wednesday a group of year 5 and 6 and I go onto the field and Mrs Perrot teaches us how to play tackle rugby.

What it feels like to be the class star student!!

Today I was the star student presented by Hannah. It feels good to be star student because we get to have golden time on the compter, sit on the a chair at the end of school or in the morning when your techer is doing the roll. We also get free time on mathletices.

by Katie

Today my maths group did some maths. We did some sums in our maths books.

Some people get to choose a person to be the star student for the day and we can do mathletics for 10 minutes while the others do lots of handwriting and writing.

By Jade

I am showing you how to write a post!

Hi room 15, this is what you need to do if I ask you to go onto the blog and write about something that has happened in the classroom lately.

Today I have been teaching Hannah, William and Shameel how to make videos and upload photos to present us on our blog.

Now let's have a look at our blog and see how this looks.
Miss E

Hi room 15. Well I see that 14 of you have voted for the class treat and chocolate lollies are winning!!! The rest of you need to vote if you want your favourite to win!!!

Today has been a good day in the classroom. I was really pleased with the way you all worked on the class report about trains. There was lots of really good group work going on and most of you were on task and working hard. I was espcially pleased with those children who found out intersting facts and retold them in their own words: Jonty, Jacob, Samuel, Charis, Hannah, William were just a few of those children!!! We will have to put the report on our blog so your grown ups can see it!!

Maths was good as well. Group 4 - your column subtraction is fantastic, I am really impressed with how quickly you are picking that up - well done.

I enjoyed listening to your news today - Sam you always make the class laugh!!

Okay, that's all for now. Keep voting, only one day left!! See you tomorrow.
Miss Edwards

Art project on Thursday

The suprise!

Today room 15 & 16 had a vistor. It was Geronimo Stilton! It was very exciting everyone got a hug, shake and a stamp that has his signature. Mostly everyone knew who he was and where he lives. Lots of people had some facts about him like his relatives names, where he works etc. Most people tried to figure out who it really was but that doesen't matter.

By Shameel

Room 15 went to the book fair today.

Today room 15 went to the school book fair to look at the books. We all got a wish list to write all the books we liked or wanted, there weren't many cheap prices except the rubbers which were only $2.00. I enjoyed looking at the all amazing books, my favourite book was The Kingdom Of Fantasy. We had at least 15 minutes there, it was fun!

By Joseph

Can you guess what these pictues are of? I will give you a week to guess!!!

Some of the children recorded their poems on the easispeak.

Spellings - each child was given a new spelling sheet to work on after we did a spelling test last week. They have highlighted or circled the words they got wrong in their test. They need to keep learning these words so they an past this list. They may also have the next list to work on.

They glued these sheets into their homework books, well those that had their homework books in class today did.

Can you help your child learn these words with daily practise. Ask them to look at the word, say the word, cover the word, write the word then check the word. This is called: look, say, cover, write, check. You can then get them to write in the words into sentences so they are learning them in context as well.

Thank you
Miss Edwards

Hello room 15. Sorry the blog has not been updated but I have been a bit sick so have not had time to do anything with it. The poem slideshow did not work, sorry to Lyric and Cameron. I will have another go and doing that this week.
Thank you for your comments about what you would like to see on the blog. I especially liked Hannah's idea. This week I will pick some children to write onto the blog like I am doing.
Anyway, I need to call the roll now!!!
Miss Edwards.

Well done room 15!!!

I am really impressed with all your comments, especially those that are coming from you at home. I am especially pleased that I have one parent comment on here already!!! (Thanks Dion's mum).
However, there are lots of spelling mistakes and errors in your writing. I told you that you needed to check this before you sent me a post. I am not perfect though and I make mistakes, therefore, there will be 100 team points to each person who can tell me I have made a mistake!!
(That is for the kids and not the parents!!)
In a while I will not publish anything that you have not checked for mistakes. At the moment I am just pleased that you are adding posts so it is all good for now.
I am loving the ideas you are coming up with. Remember this is new to me as well so we are learning together.
I have put lots of new stuff on here today and I will add more depending on what you tell me you want and what I think we need.
Great work!!!

Our new blog page!!

Hi room 15. We are going to start using the blog before we go onto using our Wiki. So what you need to do is click on the word 'comment' at the bottom of this writing. Type in here what you would like to see on our class blog. Give me some ideas about how you think it is looking. What pages can we add? What sort of work would you like to go on here?

The post will be emailed to me and I will read it first. I will then publish it onto our main page, if it is appropriate and you have checked your spelling mistakes and punctuation etc.

We will start to publish work from the classroom onto our blog. That way your grown ups can log on and and see what we are doing. You can give the blog address to relatives that live overseas as well, how exciting for them to be able to see what we are doing!

So get blogging, send me a comment and let's get this blog up and running!!

100 house points to the first person to send me a comment!!! Your growns ups can comment as well. Just remember to write your name so I know who has sent me a message!
