Parent Teacher Student interviews

On Wednesday 24th August we had the Parent, Teacher and Student interviews. Some of us were really nervous because we thought that the teacher would say something negative. Mr McAleer  discussed with our parents what our next learning steps would be. He also talked about behaviour, contributing to discussions and our progress with learning. Our parents were impressed with our learning. They told Mr McAleer about our behaviour at home, and our chores we don't do such as, not cleaning up our ROOMS!

Speeches

Room 21 has been doing speeches on a variety of topics; everything from 'Pollution' to 'My 10 favourite things' to 'My Mum' to 'Why we should exercise'. It was lots of hard work but we learnt to speak clearly, thoroughly research our topic and always keep our audience interested by using humour and interesting facts.

Swimming

On Tuesday, Room 21 all went swimming at the Papatoetoe Centennial pools. We all started piling up excited to jump in the pool and get started. We had to swim to the end and the people that made it, got split up into level five and six. All the great swimmers (Daniel, Allan and James) got into level 6. They all hope to learn from this and over the weeks we probably will succeed. If you haven't gone swimming yet, believe us you will enjoy it.

Blog Squad

We are the Room 21 'Blog Squad'. Our names are:- Alysha, Nandini, Daniel and Trent.
We update the blog for Room 21.
If you don't have a blog squad like us, then you should get one.

Body Systems

On the 3rd of August, Room 21 went to Harold the giraffe.
We were learning about the three body systems.
They are called the Respiratory, the Circulatory and the Digestive systems.
These are the breathing, circulation of the blood and the eating activities.
We had lots of fun and learned a lot.
