No time for Show and Tell? Use an iPad !

Phoenix brought in something very unique to share with the class. We ran out of time so James and Phoenix worked together and used the iPad to record the show and tell story.

First Phoenix wrote down what he wanted to share. James helped him with the writing process.

Then James used the iPad to record Phoenix reading his script.
They also took pictures using the iPad to share the unique show and tell.
They also made a comic strip using the Comic APP.

Finally Andrea imported their footage and made an iMovie.

James and Phoenix's next step is to make their own iMovie.

Well done boys !

Now...do you want to see what the unique show and tell item was?

The Results are in....

Our homemade,handmade, recycled and well planned efforts paid off...and we placed a respectable 2ND place in the Scarecrow competition. St Joseph's, Grey Lynn came first and Westmere placed third.

We are really pleased to have won 2nd place as the scarecrows were all created by the children. 

The Scarecrows all come back to school next week and we will work with Dean and the Forest Team to place them around the school!

There are some cool photos on the classroom window if you would like to see them before their return!

Well done Room 14 !

Room 14 Scarecrows

Hi everybody! Do you want to hear about how room 14 designed their own fabulous...scarecrows that went to a competition and went to compete with other schools? Yes ?  I knew you would say that. Now first we had to split into 6 groups out of the whole class. When we were finally sorted into our groups we had to put our ideas together. Then we had to draw our ideas together. Once that was all pushed aside our group shared our hard work to the class. You don't know what's going to happen later in the story. Just that very second day people had already brought things in for making our big scarecrows. Day after day the pile got bigger until all of us were ready to start cracking. We used old clothes, silky materials, string and other stuff. It was cool to see how other people could use there imagination and be so creative. By Friday these awesome things were ready to go to the competition and hopefully win. They are now at the plant nursery, Gardenco Plant Market on Great North Road. You can pop down there and have a nosey and see all of ours, and other school's designs.

How to eat a Lolly !

WALT write and follow instructions.

Andrea gave us a wrapped lolly and we had to write accurate instructions in order for us to enjoy the end result - eating the lolly. If our instructions weren't in the right order then we might miss out on actually eating the lolly. Let's see if we were successful.

Here's a short movie one group made about their experience.

Enjoy !

Converting cms to mms...

We are learning to convert units of measurements.  We started with centimeters and worked with Andrea to learn how to convert them to millimeters. We then did some follow up measurements and then worked with a partner to come up with a strategy we can use on our own after we started to see patterns emerge.  Then we went back to Andrea to check our thinking and record our findings using the iPads. 


Here are Hannah, Felix, Emily and Amy sharing their thinking. 


Enjoy.

The Measuring Machine

Today when I got up, Dad said that since I am doing measuring as a topic I might want to bring this measuring device that measures meters so I can measure how long it takes to get from                                 home to school. So I packed my bag and so on, got the measuring machine and went of to school. I guessed it would take a long time to get to school  -so four thousand meters but it was 568.3 meters.                                     I am going to try to make it up to 1000 meters.

Thunder and lightning netball game.

On Monday the 14th of may, grey Lynn 4,the grey Lynn netball team, had a netball game against  west mere. My positions were wing attack, goal defence , goal keep and wing defence. First I was wing attack. After about ten minutes of the game everyone heard lightning and thunder. Then the alarm went. Everyone rushed for cover. Some people said that the game was over and some people from our team, including me said "I wish we could keep playing". Then to everyone's surprise we got back on. One  Westmere girl elbowed me in the face! Then we swapped again and again. After that we looked at the score board. We lost by 0 points. Then mum,who is the coach, announced who was player of the day. It was me! Mum gave me a bag of lollies and a certificate. Then I opened the lollies and handed them out. What a fantastic night!                                                                                                                                            By Amy.

Knock Down Tenpin Bowling

On Sunday me, Oska,Oliver and Kaya went to tenpin bowling. Once we got there dad paid and the person gave us our shoes and we got started. Kaya started. Oska went second. Oliver went third and I went last. On my first go I got a strike and on my second to last go was also a strike. I was amazed. After our 30 minute game we had chips. Dad gave us 6 tokens and two dollars. Oska went to Animal kasier. Well I did something sneaky. I went deal or no deal. I won 50 tickets. WOW! Since my luckier score I played again but I only won 23 tickets. Since I was greedy I went to one more game and lucky me, I won 50 tickets [I did not hijack it {I am to young}and I asked Oliver if he wanted to combine tickets and he said yes so I gave him my tickets and went to Oska. So we went to the ticket eater and me and Oliver had 143 tickets well Oska went bozom when he saw the number so we spend all our tickets and we went home.

The Wave Pool

On Friday we went to the pools with my  brothers Tama,Toru. It was a wave pool. After an hour the waves came on and it went really fast so we had to go on to a tub. A tub is like a donut that you can go down a slide it go really fast. One time I went down with the tub I fell off the tub and then my brother came down and kicked me. It was sore. When I got to the top of the slide, the diving board was open and I was the first one there. On my first jump I did a front flip into the pool and it was SORE! and my back was all red and we had to go up a really hard step it was all blue. My next bomb as big but my big brother went higher then mine, but the next bomb that I did it went high like my brothers. Then my brother went to the spa. When he got there I went to the spa too an I made a friend. He came from Rotorua and he is really good at doing bombs that go really high that the splash touches the roof. We had pizza then we had to go back into the pool and then the bombing was closed but the waves came on. I felt  happy because we had a great time at the pools.

Italian pizza.

On Friday  me and my family went to an Italian restaurant. My dad opened the door. I heard the rush of the noisiest sound I had heard in my day .Then I smelt pizza and pasta all together. Soon we were at a table ordering drinks.This is what I had for drink: one orange juice. My sister had an apple juice. For starters we had cheese on bread. We always have that.A few minutes later I had finished my juice and popped the last bread crust into my mouth. For mains I ordered a pizza. It was called Forest. While we were waiting I bit something and my wiggly tooth started to bleed. I said, "excuse me for a sec..." I rushed to the bathroom.I looked in the mirror. One two ...three!I had pulled my tooth nearly free.I tried again. One two three .It did not come out so I pulled a little bit harder and it came out.For a few seconds I just stood there doing nothing.Then I rushed out the door back to the table where  were I was siting.I told my mum and my dad and my sister my tooth came out.They said awesome!Soon we were going home.It was about 9 o clock.When we got home I was sooooo tired because I had a long day.
