Al-hayy's Dylan Elise Drum Show Recount

Last week the whole school went to the hall to see Dylan Elise and he was on the stage. He did tricks and it was cool. Then he was playing the drums. There was a screen of him playing the drums. Later he threw the drum sticks and then he put it on his arm and it was awesome. Later he played with the brushes and after he played the hi-hat. Then his sister came and her name was Hannah. She was playing a base guitar. Then the teachers were dancing.

More Fabulous Achievements in Room 6

Hannah takes great pride in the presentation of all her work. It looks awesome. Abby gets up and 5 a.m. to read and that might be why she is zooming up the reading rocket, so is Ashton. Joseph is a super responsible sports monitor and Jackson has been sharing his expert knowledge of comic life and patiently teaching others how to use it. Amelia got two certificates, one was for being the top ASB banker in our school and the other was for improvement in reading. Jack had two as well. One was for reading and the other was for his fantastic singing when we do the National Anthem in assembly. He is a proud kiwi. Keep up the awesome work room 6.

Teamwork!

We have been learning how to be eco-heroes and look after our planet. Room 6 has been looking closely at the amount of rubbish that is thrown away in the junior block and we have discovered that much of it can be recycled. So, we have to get the message out to the other classes. Here we are in groups planning how we can do this.

Cinderella Poetry Recital

This term we are enjoying lots of myths, fairytales and legends as part of our literacy topic. We have some poems that are based on well known fairy tales. The children have been practising using expression by recording them and then listening to their own voice before trying to improve upon their expression. While Miss Y was home sick she put some of the recordings to pictures. The children will be able to do this themselves soon.

Waiuku Primary Rugby World Cup Opening Ceremony

What a fantastic effort everyone put in to dressing up. Room 6 were given Scotland so there was blue and while everywhere and the odd bit of tartan thrown in. Very proud of Joseph as he made a fabulous Scotsman and ended up winning the overall junior prize and he scored himself a goody bag.

On Monday we wrote recounts about the ceremony. Here are some of them-

On Friday room 6 went to the hall to see the Rugby World Cup opening ceremony. Our class was dressed as Scotland. Scotland's colours are blue and white. Jack

Last week on Friday the whole school went to the hall for the opening ceremony of the Rugby World Cup. First we sang the National Anthem. Then we saw the year 0's. They looked fantastic. They dressed in red and white. After we saw the year 2's. They put stripes on themself and Hunter put them all over himself. He looked funny. Later we went. It was fun because we get to slap hands. It kept going round and round. Finally we sang songs and Tom ran aound three or four times. It was funny. Cheyenne

The Learning Trophy

We have so many awesome learners in Room 6. It is hard to pick just one but that's just what Miss Y had to do last week. Kairyn is new to our school this term but from the day he started he has stood out as a K4's kid. He always gets on with his work, completing tasks in time. He is very helpful, a good role model and a great friend. Well done. Awesome achievement.

Math's Week 8-12 August

This year Maths Week is better than ever, with new challenges, games, and awesome prizes.
The website is http://www.mathsweek.org.nz Our username is room6waiuku. The children know the password. I can't put it up on this blog. If they get asked for a level they need to select level 1 or sometimes it will say level 1/2 Some of the games are too hard to do. I recommend
the daily challenges, Balancing Act and Raining Money for a start.
