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.

The Blog Squad.      

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.

   

Arguments...

Recently we wrote arguments about the Pros and Cons of going to school.  Some argued that children should NOT go to school because it's more fun at home but most agreed we should go to school because we can learn more there,

Clean & Green

In Term 3 we will study the environment and what we need to do [or not do!] to help plants survive.

Year 5 Garden group

Two weeks ago we made some delicious hot chips from the potatoes we grew in our garden.
Next we are going to have some raw carrot and celery from our garden. We will eat it with with humus. YUMMY!

Art...

Last week we created some amazing landscapes using lots of different brush strokes.
We only used green, blue, brown, yellow and white colours on black paper. They looked cool - come to Room 21 to see them.
