Room 21's trip to Te Tuhi Art gallery

On Friday the 28 October Room 21 is going on a trip to Te Tuhi art gallery. This is part of our investigative studies. We will be going to a workshop called "Now loading" which will teach us about abstract art and show us how to make some.  We will also visit  an exhibition called "User friendly". It should be fun.

Responsibility

As you all know, this term's value is Responsibility. Room 21 has been talking about Responsibility.  Some examples that Room 21 came up with are; managing our selves, thinking about what you do, and making the right choices. Do you know what Responsibility is? We would love to hear about what you think about Responsibility.

Hockey

This week Room 21 has started hockey. We began on Thursday and have been learning lots since. We learned how to hold a hockey stick, dribble around cones and pass. At the end of each session we even  got to play a game. We look forward to going again because it was a fun and a unique experience.

Instructions booklet

Throughout the week Room 21 has been working on our wonderful handmade Instructions Booklet. They were made very easily, the materials were:
 A1 page
Scissors or a ruler
Marker or pen (optional)
Stapler

Method:
1. Fold your page in half, then fold it in half again.
2. Then rip the bottom delicately with a ruler or scissors so it is like a book.
3. Staple the side and  fill it with all your Instructions

See how easy it was and everyone in Room 21 enjoyed populating it. We filled it with Instructions on how to make a booklet, how to get to school, how to make pumpkin soup, how to plant a tree and how to make delicious  milkshakes.

Harold countinued

The last time Room 21 went to Harold Life Education,we learnt about the things which we should put in our body. We learnt that fruits and vegetables are very important and we should eat a lot. They are very important because they are rich in vitamins and minerals. We shouldn't eat a lot of fatty foods because they ruin our fitness. So next time you buy food, look at the ingredients and look out for too much fat.

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.
