Room 5's blog

We have had a teacher come to our school to teach us about photogrophy.  We went in to Room13 and went on to a green screen and took photos acting like we were on space and then stuck a background on and one on Mount Everest.

Niagara Falls are the most powerful water fall in the Northen Hemisphere, the water falls 6,000,000 cubic feet every minute down 176 feet of clay and rock.

The Niagara Falls are a voliminus waterfall of the NIagara river, straddling the international border of the canadian province of Ontario and the U.S state of New York.

This term we have been looking into historic world events and how they have changed our society today.

Tama and Jamie put together an i Movie to illustrate some excellent pieces of descriptive language that were found throughout our recount writing.

It celebrates our writing in Term 2 and pays tribute to all those whose lives were effected by these tragedies.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick note explaining the reading homework for the remainder of the term.

Students in Room 5 have started a new reading programme where they are reading a novel/chapter book. Each Day 2, 4 and 6 on our timetable we will be discussing and responding to the chapters students have read. Therefore, It is crucial that students read up to the target chapters. There is some class time available for them to read but it would be helpful to them to read at home too.

The books must be returned at the end of the term.

Thanks,

Steph Bunny

Welcome back everyone!

Homework has commenced this term and the first task is due back Monday (wk 2) 26th April.

Task: Locate 20 countries AND capital cities from a list of 50 on to the world map provided. They may use an atlas to assist them use colour to highlight each countries.

At the end of last term we really enjoyed a class Homework Auction for those who completed homework assigned to them. This will continue in Term 2 so encourage your kids to collect as many dollars as they can by completing their homework.

The students have all made great starts to their statistics projects. Everyone has constructed a plan as to how they intend to progress through their investigation.

I have decided to give students an extra weekend to complete their work. The new due date will be Monday 22nd March (Week 8)

By Wednesday the 17th (Week 7) I hope to see DRAFT work from all students presented to me in class. This should include collected data and graphed results.

The general plan to completing the investigation is as follows:

Well done to Room 5 non-stop cricketers for winning the interclass competition. We edged out Room 8 by only 7 runs. What an effort by all who participated.

Room 5 students have been asked to come up with a statistical investigation for their homework. This will marked as part of classroom assessment so it is necessary that they complete it.

Most of the work will take place out of school, however students will be given some guidance in class, particularly to start them off and to help present their findings.

Attached are some ideas for an investigation if your child is stuck.

Room 5 H/W Week 4

Hi Room 5,

Congratulations to the non-stop cricketers for beating Room 6 in the quarter finals. So proud of you!!! Sorry I couldn't be there to see you, not feeling the greatest at the moment. I can't wait for the semi finals. Let me know who you are playing.

Mrs B :)

P.S Our team finished our race in the weekend, beating our last year's time by 1 hour. The whole race took 13 hours and 47 seconds
