My Holidays

In the holiday me and my family all went out to the movies. We all watched Cars three, the movie, then we all went back home. After we got back home my dad said, " hop up and come out with your sister and come with me and your brother. We can go back to the movies so we can watch Despicable Me Three. " By Mere

Evie and Ila's Matariki Project

Me and Ila have been working on a Matariki project for a 

week.

Our whole class has been doing a Matariki  project.

We had to change our idea at least five times.

We searched our question on Kid Rex. Our question was, "Why is Matariki the Maori New Year?" and found out out the answer.

We decided to do a slide show using google slides. 

Our finished project was looking really good !!!

Sofia and Poppy's Matariki Blog

In inquiry we have been lining  about Matarki. First we have  been thinking about some facts. Matarki  is the main star and the other
stars are her sisters. 

We had 2 questions:  they are,  how old is Matarki and  how do the stars shine brighter then all the  others>

There is a learning website called Kid Rex. Kid Rex sometimes  really helps you find answers for your work.

We created a padlet to show our learning. Click the link to see the padlet.

Olive's Poem on her gifts of being a friend.

Olive wrote a lyrical poem about what she has to offer as a friend. She even wrote a solution to the issue of trading special things in the classroom. 

What can you offer as a friend?

Do you know your worth?

Today Stella wrote a poem about what she has to offer someone...have a read and now, that if Stella is your friend, she offers many gifts that come from the heart. 

Sheldon Wants to be your friend!

Problem Solving in Room 10

Today we tried to solve one of the world's biggest problems!

Do you know what it is?

"WHY DO PEOPLE STRUGGLE TO DO THE RIGHT THING?"

Something was up in Room 10. Some people were happy, some people were sad and some people had no idea what was going on...but Andrea knew, but she didn't tell us. She said we were going to have to figure it out and she would give us some inferring hints if needed. We were going to be detectives into human behaviour! 

We got into triads and talked with each other about the question. All of our answers are on the padlet. 

We eventually got to the problem in the world and especially Room 10. 

People were trading things in class in order for people to like them. 

Andrea said she could just make a rule - NO TRADING - which she kind of did, but that we also need to know OUR WORTH first. Our worth does not come from people wanting our stuff... our worth comes from what's inside each of us.  We have ore to offer each other and it cannot be found in any shop! 

Now we are all writing stories about...What can I offer? 

Torin said he can offer friendship and Ava said she can include people at morning tea and lunch. Amelia said she has kindness to offer. 

What do you have to offer? (P.S. It's not a smiggle rubber...)

Write what you have to offer in the comments below and together we can make the world (and Grey Lynn School) a better and happier place.

Love Room 10

Poppy's Matariki Padlet

We learnt how to create a padlet yesterday and Poppy was so inspired that she rushed home to create one of her own to support her inquiry into Matariki.

Sick

On Monday. I could not go to school because I was sick. On Sunday I vomited. When I was in bed on Sunday I was not feeling good. Funny thing I was thinking about I could not walk, but when I got up I could walk but my head was going left and right, left and right. I went to the my mum's room and cuddled up. Then I saw my brother on the tablet. If you do not know what a tablet is it is an ipad, but I was not going to the kitchen to go on the tablet, I was going to get the ipad so I got the ipad and went to the fridge and got a water bottle and drank and drank.
