Autumn Colour Poetry

Last week we published our Autumn colour poems.  In place of the words, we stuck coloured card to represent the colours we were writing about.  Here are some examples.

Enjoying the Autumn Sun

Making the most of the outstanding Rotorua weather on Friday (who would have thought it would be so different on Saturday!!).

Water Testing

This week we have carried out a number of experiments as part of our sustainable water study.  We tried to filter dirty water to see if we could make it clean, but found we could not.  We also built a still to see if we could extract drinking water from salt water.  Ben volunteered to try the distilled water and found it was drinkable.

Today we were lucky enough to have Mrs Quirke from the Waste Water facility (Hazel's Mum) come and help us test the quality of the water we had collected during the holidays.  It was a very interesting and informative lesson.

Writing in the Autumn Sun

Today we did a quick tour of the school to get inspiration for our Autumn poetry writing.  It was certainly a stunning Autumn day in Rotorua.

First Communion Celebration

Several members of our class celebrated their First communion today.  I managed to grab a photo with most of them standing with Bishop Denis.

The cycle has begun

Condensation has appeared in our Water Cycle Bags

Today we made a water cycle in a bag. What we do is put water and food coloring in the bag. Then it will evaporate.We also did some designs before we put the water in.

Winners of the Week - what is that??

Some of the students in Room 3 have written explanations about the Winners of the Week. 

Roll of honour

Do you know what the roll of honour is, it is when you behave and be good then Mrs Todd allows you to get a tick on the roll of honour.

Whoever gets the most ticks at the end of the week wins for the week, whoever gets the most in the term wins for the term, whoever gets the most in the year wins for the year and gets a big prize! To try and win you have to impress Mrs Todd.

 Try and get ticks and win, you never know you could win for the year and get the ultimate prize  good luck.

Can you figure out how to figure out the figure it out?

In Room 3 every week we have a riddle Or sometimes a mind teaser. Here is one to get you started: THOUdeepGHT. At the end of the explanation I will give you an answer. Try and get it right so that if you were in Room3 you would be worthy of a prize out of the prize box

In case you are wondering why we have the figure it out I’ll tell you. It is a way to win other then the outstanding student and the roll of honour.  Mrs. Todd our brilliant teacher came up with it way back when she started teaching. She got it going because she quite likes that sort of thing.

To enter you just have to look at the weeks figure it out that Mrs. Todd hangs on the board and look and look and look until  the answer becomes clear. When you think that you have got the right answer write it on scrap paper or refill and pop it into the figure it out box. On Friday Mrs. Todd looks at all the answers and whoever gets it right wins. If more then one person gets it correct then Mrs. Todd picks who wins or else the names get drawn by someone who didn’t get it correct.

If you are still trying to get the answer to the figure it out I gave you but you can’t get then here is how to work it out. THOUdeepGHT. 1. THOU   GHT makes thought  2. Deep is hidden inside thought so that makes deep in thought.

If you did get it pretend you got a prize from the prize box!

Figure it out

Train your brain to figure it out. Every week Mrs Todd runs a thing called the figure it out. It is were Mrs Todd puts a riddle or a brain teaser on a white board.  Here are some horobod  ``````weels.

If you think you know the answer write it on a piece of paper and put it in the figure it out box. After that all you can do is wait till the end of the week.

Once the week is over the person with the correct answer wins! However  if more than one person gets it right there is a draw. When someone gets their name drawn out they are the winner!

The winner gets their name on the blog and a prize

p.s. horobod (robin hood )

Roll of honour

Have you ever heard other roll of honour? Well know you have we have it in the one and only bright room 3.

Anyway every single week we have a roll of people’s names on the white board it is obviously Mrs Todd’s roll of honour. But if you want your name on it then you have to impress Mrs Todd because it is her class’s awesome thing. If you want to know how to then you might want to help others, follow the golden rule’s, be awesome and more.

There is always a prize if you win from the end of week prize to the end of year prize so do you think you will win?
