Sell Us A Colour

Here is the advertisement Room 10 made for the Fair Go Ad Awards:

Clay Cars On Rocks Road

Rocks Road was very busy, quirky clay cars were traveling in both directions.
A horn tooted and cars began to chug past. Engines revved and accelerated
as the cars began to speed along. Horns were blaring a warning, some cars
sounded like train engines, some whizzed along while others chugged and
cruised slowly. There was even an aeroplane taxiing along the road. All was
going smoothly until one ignored the dangers of texting, a skid and
catastrophe on Rocks Road.
A four car pile up!

Mask Making at the Suter

On Wednesday the  Room 10 went to the Suter Art Gallery.

Our teacher there was Easter. She showed us an Jane Evans piece of artwork then she showed us the Torres Strait Island exhibition . Then she showed us some war masks. We got into groups with a parent and using coloured  paper we made our own mask.

Clay Cars

A couple of days ago Room 10 made clay cars. It was very cold and damp. First we made it into a 3D rectangle. Next we made room for the wheels. Then we made the wheels. Then we got some slip and stuck it on. Slip is clay and water mixed together. Next we we made the roof.Then we got a straw and made the head lights.Then we wrapped them up in gladwrap.

MUESLI BARS

On Thursday four Room 10 cookers made muesli bars to tie in with the Olympics.We put in chocolate drops, golden syrup and cut some butter and then we added the muesli and then we mixed it and put it on a pan and I stirred until it was melted. Then we let it cool down and then we got out a tray and flattened it. Then we put it in the oven and then we went back to class  for 15 minutes, tick tock we went back to the kitchen we got to taste the first piece of muesli bar- they were yum. Then we served to the class it was great.

My Colour!!!

1.   Purple is a colour!
2.   As the blue sky shone like a star, I try to look at the sun glowing against the blueness.
3.   The green wall comes in handy when we do green screening!

Colour

1. The green grass is as bright as a toxic pit.
2. The brown fence is very boring and dark.
3. Although the skin colored wall is bright, it is no brighter than the color of our skin.

Harakeke Post

We put stones on our post. We had a white rock to start off with. We got to design them. The class used three and four different colours.  Mrs Cowley stuck the rocks on the minture post. Eddie and Jojo stuck it on our oringinal post that we had. Then all the flax is opposite all the posts the classes own.

Rolling Down the Hill

We are off to Nayland College. Room ten and Room six  get to  roll down the hill. Yes! We all say when we get there. Next  Jancie says the rules then Room six goes right across the hill to the other side of it. Then the two classes roll down the big hill. We go round and round  until the end. Then we go back up the hill. Tai tries to rolly polly down the hill and he makes it! So I pat his back and say nice roll!

Clay on the Unicycle

It took a lot of practice to ride the unicycles. You will eventually be able to ride the unicycle. I can now ride right around the top court 5 times. My next thing I want to do is to learn how to juggle and ride on the unicycle. By Clay

Making Hacky Sacks

Yesterday Room 10 and Mr Davis and Mrs Cowley made hacky sacks. My one was really cool and now i'm going to tell you all about it.

First I had to get a balloon and put a little air into it and then fill it up with rice. After that I put a knot in the balloon and pushed it in. Then cut a neck off another balloon, then put it around the balloon with rice. Then do the exact same thing with one more balloon.

Then I got a permanent marker and drew a face on it, some eyes, mouth and nose and you're finished. You have a hacky sack.

If you make a hacky sack what would you put on it?

Chocolate Zucchini Cakes

In Room 10 we do cooking. Last week we made chocolate zucchini muffins out of the marrows in the school garden. Every body liked them so much we all wanted seconds but unfortunately there was not enough. Mr Davis is such a good teacher he helped us cut them up so we all got to have more. What I liked most about the muffins is the chocolate button on top.

Water Fight

On Friday Room 10 and Room 6 had a water fight on the back field. Sophie let me borrow her water gun. It was heaps of fun. Most of the time I was on home. I only squirted the people filing up their guns. Then we went to the pool and had our last swim for the season.

Carbon footprints can kill lots of animal's and it can affect our planet and it can be a problem for humans.

So we are learning all about what we can do to help reduce our carbon footprint.

Our Monarch Hatches

Monarch Hatching on PhotoPeach



When a monarch butterfly hatches it slowly creeps out of its chrysalis and dries off its wings. It takes a little while to get all of its blood in to its wings, then it flies away in to the sky.
We saw all this happening in our class last week when our butterfly hatched. We had had it in class since it was a tiny caterpillar. It turned into a chyrsalis and then hatched as we all watched. We then put it out onto a flax plant and it flew away when it was strong enough.

Beach Day

On Thursday the middle syndicate went to Tahunanui Beach. There where 6 activities: sand castles at the shore, cricket, volleyball, sand creations, relays and petanque, playground.
Playground
I went to the playground first. it was with Mrs Cowley. I played on the tyre swing with Charlotte. I also played on the concrete runner.
Sandcastles at the shore
We ran down to the sandcastles at the shore and took off uniform so we were in our togs. We went down to water and started digging the moats of our castles. My castle was about half a metre tall. Charlottes castle got destroyed because she built it too close to the water.
