Published Poems

Yesterday we revisited parts of speech - but did so through poetry. It also was a chance to make sure that we are still  thinking carefully about word choice and creating descriptive sentences.
It was a great reaction this morning to see so many Room 11 students head over to the wall to read their own poems and those of their class mates!

More on Measuring

Today we learnt some new words associated with measurement!  From "mouthful" to "jiffy", "googal" and "Warhol" - we came across a huge range of words we didn't know where actually units of measure.
Then we looked at how we could use ourselves as a unit  measurement:

Maths - Learning to measure.

With our unit on Measurement the class have had an opportunity to "measure" in a variety of ways and use a range of measuring equipment!
We had a "Mini-Olympics" that involved a 10m straw sprint, a paper plane pole vault, balloon shotput, counter long and high jump and the last event was a skewer javelin throw!

For the record Mavi, Dylan and Bryn took out first place!!

In Search Of Beauty!

This week Room 11 has been discussing and researching our thoughts on the meaning of "Beauty". We definitely have some strong opinions on what is NOT beautiful.
We have looked into some fashion trends that really don't look that great to us, as well as finding out how differing cultures have a quite differing views on beauty. The videos we watched on foot binding in China and African scarification rituals made a big impact!
At the moment we are trying to come up with our own idea - the Perfect man or woman!

Today I asked Room 11 to send a "good luck" message to my daughter - competing in the Crossfit Games in Los Angeles. What a great looking group they are!!

Room 11 the machine!

Movers and Shakers

YEAH!! We finally finished our Term 2 mural ... on the last day of the term. It is amazing what you find when you have a clean up :)

Can you write a legend?

The challenge for Room 11 this week was to write a legend that described an imaginary constellation. It was a bit like a dot to dot!! What pictures can you see in the stars?

Watching the MIS sport exchange.

On Friday 6 students from Room 11 were involved in playing, or helping, with the Masterton Intermediate School sport exchange. Several others had hosted billets overnight.
Those of us not actively involved had the opportunity to watch some of the games - Rugby, Netball or Football. I took a group of students to Guthrie Park to watch the Girls and Boys football matches.

A new Maths Site

"Fun Friday" saw us exploring a new Maths Site. When asked "How is this Maths?" we went to our Maths wall and worked out that we were:

• Solving problems
• Accepting challenges (some games were hard/some easy!)
• Having think time
• Using technology
• Asking for help
• Asking Questions
• Communicating
• Sharing ideas 
• Making connections  and so on!!
