Time Travel Nightmare

The Light       By Keisha Togo

One day I was camping in the middle of nowhere with my friends Jazelle, Claudia and Paiden. Just before we fell asleep we saw a bright light shining from between the trees. We walked towards the bright light and Jazelle tripped over a stick and hit the light and disappeared. So Paiden, Claudia and I took a deep breath and we jumped into the bright light.  All of a sudden we fell on a big gigantic bouncy thing it looked like a giant marshmallow. As we bounced to our feetit was like we had landed in a candy land. We saw Jazelle drinking from a chocolate lake. Paiden saw a huge lollipop and took a big lick, it was too big to bite it so she tried breaking it with another giant lollipop so she could eat a piece of it. Then Claudia started drinking from the chocolate lake with Jazelle...

At the library

Yesterday Room 10 went to the library. First we chose our own book to read for SSR during the week after morning tea. Then Edyn and Huriana scanned our books.  When we all had our books Miss McNair read us a book called The World according to Humphrey written by Betty G . Birney

Here's a picture of the book.

 

In Te Puna is a display of an old machine from the past.  Do you know what it could be?

If you know what this Machine is please let us know 

This display is set in the library

Life Education with Muriel and Harold the Giraffe

LIFE EDUCATION CARAVAN AT POMARIA

It was great seeing Harold the Giraffe and Muriel this term and we learned about 'unique' and how we are are unique from our family and friends.

Muriel taught us that everyone has different parts of our bodies have like a special pattern that make us different - like a barcode on library books or food packages.  Our special patterns are on our fingers, toes, in our eyes and on our tongues.

We are also unique because we are good at some things and the things we might be bad at or don't like doing then another person might be good at them but not so good at the things you are good at.

We learned about personalities and how we all look different and do things differently.  Our body shape and sizes are made up differently from other people too.

Harold wants all the children to drink plenty of water so we don't get dehydrated and he wants us to have breakfast in the morning to keep our brains working throughout the morning.

HAUORA means well-being, so we need to take care of our bodies and make sure we feed it the right foods, do plenty of exercise and clean our bodies and brush our teeth, in order to keep it healthy.

Learning the skills of golf with Coach Max

We have had the privilege and opportunity to learn golf skills with Coach Max.  We learned about 'respect' and 'courtesy' when we are learning with Coach Max and the learners of our class.
The first session of golf we learned how to stand, this is the rule left hand, right hand, feet together, left foot, right foot, bend knees and bum out - then swing your golf club.

This is our second lesson of golf with Coach Max.  We learned warned up by kicking a soccer ball around the golf club markers in the ground and then Coach Max allowed us to practice our standing and swinging.

Great to see the Pomaria Values being shown when Coach Max is talking.

Patiently waiting for instructions for warm up activity.

                                                          
The Professional Golfer - even Whaea Sandra gets to have a go at golf.

Our Awesome Wall Displays

This term our concept is 'knowing' - iho
We had to go home and talk to our parents and find information in regards to our pepeha.  A pepeha informs other people of where in New Zealand we come from.  This is very important to the Maori people because we are connecting back to our ancestors - our Turangawaewae (standing place)
We have published our pepeha and located our iwi or tribe on the New Zealand map.  You can see the string linking our pepeha to where our family comes from.

We did a portrait of our buddy in Room 10.  Then each class member wrote things about themselves and shared this with the class.  This activity was lots of fun.  Our wall is coming together quite well.  The learners in Room 10 put these up on the wall.  Didn't they do a fantastic job?

To celebrate our first week of school - Whaea Sandra helped us to make 'waffles'.  It was lots of fun because we got to make help mix the batter and then each person placed this in the waffle machine.  Edyn and Keisha cut up strawberries and then put blueberries and chocolate chips into a bowl.

Whaea Sandra placed waffles on plates in a pile and then put on the mix and drizzled it with maple syrup and a sprinkle of icing sugar.  It looked delicious.  We didn't have a camera to take photos so we will leave it to your imagination.  What a great start back to school.

Chinese New Year - we made dragons, these are so colourful.  We stuck these on our back window and door area.

First Week Back at School

Our first week back at school, we did some icebreaker activities and got to know each other better.

As a class we discussed the kaupapa in our classroom - it's a classroom treaty but we don't have it on the wall but we know what as seniors the things that we should and shouldn't be doing in our classroom.  We used our Pomaria Value 'respect' and how we respect each other and our classroom environment.  We also discussed the kaupapa we show outside the classroom as well.

On Friday we celebrated our first week back at school by making waffles.  We didn't have the camera to take photos but the were deelicious... Whaea Sandra piled up a few waffles on a plate and they were topped with our blueberry and strawberry mix, chocolate chippes, maple syrup and icing sugar.  We were given a spoon or a fork to gobble down our masterpiece.

                                         We are an awesome bunch of learners in Room 10
