Assembly Term 3

On the 15^th of August 2014 Room 7 had their assembly, our main focus was to inspire our audience with our mihi and to talk about global warming effects on Antarctica’s animals but especially our fluffy friends the Emperor Penguin. 

We performed a dance about staying alive and we were trying to reach out to the audience and tried to get them involved in as many ways as possible, our class also spent lots of time crafting origami beaks to use for the dance to make it more amusing. We also gave many example of how global warming is destroying habitats and killing animals. 

 

At the beginning of our assembly we performed a Māori song that was about Māori language vowels because our old student teacher Mrs Villiamu had a thing about music and how it can affect our daily lives, so we were inspired to use her style of music and perform a song that her, and our awesome teacher Mrs Stennard taught us. 

At the end of our fabulous assembly the netball certificates were handed out and our school was very proud to have one first place team, two second place teams and a fourth place team.   

Ki O Rahi Tournament

To end Matariki we had our Ki O Rahi tournament.  Four Teams faced off in a round robin tournament with the two finalists being the teams with the most accrued points.

Team Red; Talia, Ashleigh, Nikita, Patrick, Te Aute and Vaea played Team Blue; Hugo, Mrdina, Ethan, Jess, Fergus, Jeremiah and Alison in a hard fought and exctiting final.

At the end of full time the scores were tied at 2 all.

We played an extra minute each way to come up with a winner, in the last 30 seconds Team Blue scored the deciding point. Team Red were gracious in defeat and played a great game.

Science Roadshow

Science Roadshow 2014

On Friday the 27th of June year five and six got to go to the science road show at Royal Oak Intermediate. When we got there we watched a show called “Are we living?” We really enjoyed the show. After the show we could walk around and look at the different science experiments on display. At some of the displays, if you understood how it worked you could get a little card and go up to one of the teachers and explain how it worked to them and if they thought you understood they would clip your card and you could enter the draw.  Looking at the displays was really fun and most people liked the display where you chucked a little ping pong ball into a large funnel and then you pushed a huge lever down and the force [the air] pushed the ball out of the funnel.  After looking around we watched another show about our body.  We had a lot of fun.

Matariki

Matariki 2014

To celebrate Matariki room 7 had a fun.  We began with a round robin tournament playing Tapuwae,

Congratulations to Fergus, Hugo, Evie, Talia, Belle and Jeremiah who won the Tapuwae finals - can the repeat their amazing performance next term?

The round robin tournament playing ki O rahi was postponed until the beginning of next term due to bad weather.  Stay tuned to find out the winning team.

Assembly part 2

We did some research on what life was like in Jesus time.  We put our information together and drew our own conclusions.  We presented these in a play at assembly.
