Welcome back to Term 3 my lovelies!! It was great to see all your smiling faces on Monday... sounds like you all had a great holiday!

I hope you are ready for an action packed term, we have so many awesome things ahead of us!! The production is The Wizard of NZ and we are going to start working on our scene with Room 11 in the next couple of weeks... it is going to be SO much fun!! I am really looking forward to seeing it all come together.

For Maths, we are learning about fractions, percentages and ratios... we have already learnt a few little tricks about how to remember important facts about these topics! DENOMINATORRRRRRR!!!! (Said in a low terminator like voice.) Hahah :P

For Literacy, we are studying fairytales... we will be reading tonnes of these and retelling the stories, as well as writing our own twisted versions! I can't wait to read your awesome work!

Don't forget to hand in your notices and money for the Kapiti College production of Annie next week... they need to be in soon.

Well, here's to another awesome term together!!

Keep on rockin'!!

Our Poetry

We have been writing poetry... here are some of our poems.


THINGS

Shoes are for running,
Plants are for sunning,
Plumbers are for plumbing,
Bees are for buzzing,
Room 16 is fun.

Pens are for drawing,
Wood is for sawing,
Bedtimes for yawning,
Cats are for clawing,
Room 16 is fun.

Words are for saying,
Games are for playing,
Water is for spraying,
Church is for praying,
Room 16 is fun.

Climbing up the Tree

Climbing up the tree
What is it that I see?
A family of bird
Flying past me.

Climbing up the tree
What is it that I hear?
A gust of wind is near.

Climbing up the tree
What is it that I smell
It is the bark smelling so swell.

Climbing up the tree
What is it that I feel?
I feel like a peel in the sun.

Climbing up the tree
What is it that I say?
“Wow what a great view up this way”.

By Maraea

Pinocchio is born for lying,
Room16 is fun!!!

Mouths are for eating,
Chairs are for seating,
Rooms are for meeting,
Poker is for cheating,
Room16 is fun!!!

Walking through the…

Walking through the park
What is it that I see?
A dog
running straight at me.

Walking through the park
What is it that I feel?
A cat
Trying to bite my heel

Walking through the park
What is it that I smell
Someone selling hot chocolate
That do not smell very well

Walking through the park
What is it that I hear
Billions of people
Screaming in my ear

Walking through the park
What do I say
“I will be back another way”

By Talosaga

Walking through my house

Walking through my house
What do I see?
I see a smelly bee
Looking at me

Walking through my house
What do I hear?
I hear a deer
Jumping though the air

Walking through my house
What do I smell?
I smell my brother from a dell
That’s how much he smells

Walking through my house
What do I feel?
I feel a seal
Sliding down my bed

Walking through my house
What do I say
I say thanks
It was a nice day

By Scott

Weekend Sport at Ngati Toa

Kia ora koutou e te whanau,

Kei te pehea koe? Kei te pai ahau.

Yesterday I went to visit some of the wonderful members of Room 16 playing their weekend sport down at Ngati Toa Domain. First up was the rugby and it was Nathan and Scotts team VS. Larry and Maraea's team. It was hard to know who to cheer for so I ended up just cheering for the players not the teams! It was a fantastic game, both teams played incredibly well and I was so proud of the players from my room.... Larry made some awesome tackles, Nato scored two tries, Maraea got right in amongst it all and battled for the ball and Scott made some impressive runs down the wing. Nathan and Scotts team won in the end but I think that all the players from our class were the best!! Oh and I saw Maggies team playing, but she was undercover with her head gear on and I didn't recognise her without her pony tail!

Then it was on to the girls netball. First up was Kaylyns team, the Plimmerton Steel... they played Titahi Bay who were a very good team. Sadly the Steel lost the game, but it was good to see the girls out there giving it their all. The next game was Plimmerton Magic. In the team from Room 16 was Lei, Jordyn and Macey. The team played really well with Jordyn shooting some awesome goals... all that practice is paying off Jordy!! The Magic won the game and everyone was very pleased with how well they played, especially considering it was only their second game for the season!

Well done to all the people I watched, it was so awesome to see you guys out there giving it your best shot! I'll try and get back out there in a few weeks time to see another game or two.

Remember- Keep that photo money rolling in, school photos are this Friday... make sure you've got your pretty pink bows for your hair all sorted! Especially you boys!! :P
