Step Up 3D

On Saturday I went to St Luke's and me and my brother and friend went to go and see Step up 3d.
We were 1 hour early so we played and kept going outside.
15 min later people started to come in and then the movie started.
The coolest person that danced I think was Moose and Robot.
At the end there was the final dance and it was the pirates vs samurai.
There were all about grown ups and there were also little kids that new how to do cool as tricks.
The pirates won $10000 so their home was not going to bust because they had $10000.

My Bunny

When I was turning 5 my dad said I could get a rabbit so I went crazy!. I first said where is it!  He said that I have to go and get the rabbit. I thought that I was getting him from the pet shop but I was getting him from the country. It took a while to get there but we made it. I thought it was rabbit heaven. I wanted a girl rabbit but they were too young to go home were so I had to pick a boy. I picked the one that I liked the most and took it home. When we got home I forgot I even had to name it so I thought of a simple name -Max.

Nudge and Tweet

We have classroom pets. We have 5 fish and 2 birds. The fish are numbered as Andrea says their days are numbered with her as their caregiver ! haha !


We also got given two birds from Mike and Miri, parents at our school. We love the birds and think it is very brave of Andrea to have birds since flying birds are one of her fears.


We get to take the birds home every weekend and Andrea takes them home in the holidays. 


Here are some pictures of Nudge and Tweet - our birdies !

The 90s

We have been learning about the 90s as part of our school's 100 year birthday.

Right now it is our school's Term 3 holidays so we won't be actively blogging but our teacher will be publishing some of our art work every other day to keep our site active and our visitors happy.

Here is Emily's picture of Che Fu. He is a local rap, R&B musician and had his start in the 90s with the band Supergroove. He left the band and went solo and his music is very cool. You can listen to his music here and read all about him and his beliefs.

Garage Sales

On Sunday me, my sister, my brothers and my mum and dad went to a garage sale.I bought a game and a dolphin ornament. The game is called splosh, splash go fish. After that we went for a walk to the cafes to get something too eat. I had a hot chocolate and a sandwich, then we went home. BY SYDNIE

Music lessons

Every Monday I have piano lessons . Well except for the holidays. My piano teacher is called Hillary. For me she is the best piano teacher in the world. Also, a long time ago I had my first piano teacher and her name was Jessica  - she was a very nice teacher. But she went to University so she didn't really come and that was a shame! So now Hillary is the best teacher in the world! Also I had a concert and I started on level 2! Hillary is great and I really like learning with her.

3 things that I like


Let me tell what 3 things i like. The 1st things are dinosaurs. I don't know why I like them so don't ask. My 2nd thing is a show. It is called Ben 10. I like this show because there is lots of good guys vs bad guys and lots of fighting . Last but not least a Nintendo game that is called transformers animated (tfa).There are lots of levels with a level that stress' the guts out of me. So now you know what three things that I like best.

The Game 24

Andrea, our teacher, gives us a card with four random numbers on it. We are allowed to use all the maths signs +,-,x,/ and only allowed to use each number once. The total has to be 24.

There are three levels of difficulty. We used the 2nd level. Here is what we did.

In Maths we have been trying to use our multiplicative thinking. The best way to show you our learning is through pictures and talking about it.

Check back for more Maths learning soon.

Here are Willow and Emily sharing their learning.

My Thumb


I was quietly eating then I went to go and put my lunch box away. I was looking at the budgies and then SLAM!!!!!. My thumb was in the door ! It cut my thumb right through. It was in the door until someone finally opened the door and I came out with a bleeding hand. I went to the sick bay and I got it all bandaged up then my mum came and she took me to white cross. by Olivia

The 90s

We have been learning about the 100 years of Grey Lynn School. Our decade was the 1990s. The students had to choose one things they learned from the 90s and use their thinking hats to showcase their learning. They got to choose how to share their learning.

Mia chose to make a slideshow using Kid Pix, Garageband for the voice over and iMovie as the editing tool.

Enjoy Mia's show and keep checking back to see what others have learned.

On Sunday me and my family went to Westwave for my brother's birthday !


On Sunday me and my family went to west wave for my brother's birthday . My favourite part of the west wave was the the dark slide and the diving . After that we had kfc for dinner because there was a kfc shop just across the road and there was a place with fish an chips but when we saw how much it was, it was too much money so we had KFC instead. by Willie

The tornado


On Friday the 17Th my brothers friend came around and I went on the computer then it started pouring down with rain and the wind was really strong so I went to my mum and talked to her for a while then I looked outside and I asked my mum where the trampoline was. She said it should be there and she came and looked and then she saw it on the 7 foot fence. Then I went to get Jonathan my brother and his friends. Then we all started laughing because it landed on the neighbors garage. So in the weekend my dad said he would get it down but he didn't so now our trampoline is still sitting on my neighbours garage.

We ask you....what would you like to see on our blog?

Today we had a 10:00 start which meant one hour to morning tea...according to the kiddies anyway. We are in our last week of Term 3 and are heading into our last term of Year 4 and the topic change so we thought we'd ask you a question.

What would you like to see on our blog?

Since we are learning about change we are willing to change things and see what our reader's/audience want.

We look forward to your answers.

Kotahi Rau

Whew ! It's over...but is it? The learning continues from our 2010 production. Room 13 knows all about the 1990s now which is great. Through our production we have learned about the Y2K bug and how big the internet became.

Now that the shows have been seen we can share some of our learning with you. Thanks to Che Fu for letting us use his song, Chains, which was also a hit of the 1990s.
