Some ideas for what to bring are: sauces, jams, preserves, lotions, perfumes, shampoos, body wash, bubble bath, drinks etc. Make sure they are new and unopened ready for our Festival next year.

Financial Literacy

Today we had a visitor called Siale from ASB bank. He came to talk to us about the importance of looking after our money. We talked about saving, keeping our money safe and how the bank works. Siale transformed into COACH CASH and he taught us this chant: "Saving is like training! The more you save! The better you get! Oh yeah!"

Look what we made!

This term we have been learning about writing instructions. We have written about how to make spinning snakes, Chinese lanterns, a paper bird and toast....BUT we saved the best till last- today we made fruit kebabs and jelly! YUM! Miss Fisher had to take our photos real quick because we wanted to gobble them up straight away! Look at the photos below and if you want to see our instructions on how to make them they are in our draft and wonderful work books. :)

Class Montages

Wow- Look at the video below to check out the amaaaaazing class montages!! They are available to view in each classroom and during the Art Festival. You can place a bid on them up until the last Wednesday of school.

Cricket Fun!

Today Sid came from the Cornwall Park Cricket Club. He showed us a bit of the sport and we got to play a game. Then he invited us along to join the club if we liked the game. It was lots of fun- Thanks Sid!

Verb Poems

This week in Room 10 we chose something we did in our holidays and wrote a 'Verb Poem' about it. It was quite tricky to get the pattern right but we think they are very effective. They were all fantastic but here are a couple of examples:

My Holiday My Holiday

Climbing, climbing. Scoring, scoring.

Reaching for a rock. Tackling the person.

Going to the top. Running with the ball.

Trying not to fall. Passing to my team mates.

Fun Climbing. Going to the club rooms.

My Holiday My Holiday

Shopping, shopping. Swimming, swimming.

Going to the center. Playing in the water.

Searching for some clothes. Splashing at my mum.

Spending lots of money. Holding my breath.

Busy shopping. Fun swimming.

By Luka. By Iris.

Firewise!

Today Room 10 and all the Year 1 & 2 children met Firefighter Matt. He came to talk to us about being Fire Safety and we all showed him how Firewise we are! We saw how quickly a fire can start and talked about what to do if a fire ever happened. We practiced 'Get down! Get low! Get out fast!', we called out 'Fire! Fire! Fire!' loudly and clearly and met at 'Our safe meeting place.'

Well done Year 1 and 2- you are a Firewise crew!!

Te Wiki O Te Reo Maori

This week is Maori Language Week!

And we have already begun by using greetings and as many phrases and Maori words as we can!
Ask our Room 10 tamariki what Te Reo they can share with you!

Kia Ora!

Congratulations Room 10!

Wow! Room 10 are very happy today! We did so well on 'Walk and Wheel to School Day' that we got a certificate in assembly and a prize of $20 to spend at Paper Plus!! Wahoo go Room 10!!

Travelwise WALK and WHEEL to School Day

On Wednesday 22nd June we are having a walk and ride to school day. On Tuesday 21st children will bring home a token.

The 'Auckland City Transport Mascot' will be present, giving out spot prizes so walk, scooter, cycle, car pool, bus, train or drop and walk your way to school on Wednesday the 22nd June!!

Fractions

In Room 10 we are learning about Fractions. We have been folding, cutting and sharing all sorts of things into halves, quarters, thirds, fifths and more!

Yesterday we watched this video that explains fractions:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e_JGthEE-Q

And then we played this game called 'Pizza Party'. It tested whether we could match the fraction picture to the fraction number:

http://www.primarygames.com/fractions/start.htm

We are getting much better at giving a 'fair share' or an equal piece to our friends!

LINES FOR LOUIS!

Louis is a Year 3 at our school and he has Type 1 Diabetes.

He has to monitor his insulin levels often and throughout the day and be medicated as needed. Louis now has the opportunity to have a pump that would do all of this for him and make life much easier. Unfortunately the cost for the pump alone is $10,000 and then an ongoing cost of $300 per month and there is no government subsidy....

Royal Oak Primary wants to support the fundraising project for Louis to enable him

to have the freedom of other children at our school.

Mrs Bruce has therefore organised a mufti day for Friday 3rd June called 'Lines for Louis'. Please come to school wearing lines, checks or stripes and bring a donation to help the fundraising.

Grasshopper Tennis

The Year 2 classes are all participating in Grasshopper Tennis every Monday for four weeks.

So far we have been learning to balance the ball in different places of our racket, bounce the ball between the ground and our racket and on top of our racket. We have been doing lots of rolling, hitting and passing the ball in pairs and we have also been trying to master 'sticky ball'!

Room 10's Junior Assembly:

Today Room 10 hosted Assembly for the Junior School.

We decided as a class to have an Autumn theme. So we made some beautiful Autumn crowns, shared our fantastic Autumn artwork and read some amazing Autumn cameos and acrostic poems.

Room 10 did a wonderful job and they certainly made everyone feel cheerful about the season of Autumn!

Adam from Room 26 was our wonderful photographer- have a look at some of the snaps in this video!

Autumn Art

Room 10 created these beautiful pieces of art using Autumn as their inspiration. First they chose a leaf and sketched it using sketching pencil then they used crayon and dye to create 2 different pictures of the leaf- using dye to outline the leaf in one and dye to fill the leaf in the other.

The New Zealand Rugby Union is proud to recommend Rippa Rugby and we are sure it will give the kids in your school a fun safe and enjoyable sporting experience.

Altogether we raised over $2,000 and our wonderful board matched our contribution taking us up to $4,584.60!!!! Well done Royal Oak Primary- I am sure Christchurch will really appreciate your efforts

Room 10- 2011

Welcome to the wonderful children of Room 10 for 2011!

INTERNET SAFETY:

With our ever changing world and the exciting increase of technology in our classrooms, it is extremely important that we teach our students about using the internet safely.

In Room 10 we begin the year by working through the wonderful programme- 'Hector's World'. He

Through the adventures of Hector and his friends, Hector's World promotes the skills and values children need to grow into confident, knowledgeable and caring members of the online community - the ‘building blocks’ of digital citizenship.

The children learn to be safe on the internet, what to watch out for and important things like never giving out personal information online.

Room 10 would like to say a HUGE Thank you to the lovely Miss Elliott.

She has spent the last 5 weeks in Room 10 as a training teacher and has done an absolutely FABULOUS job. Room 10 children (and their teacher!!) have thoroughly enjoyed her enthusiasm and her exciting bright ideas.

Miss Elliott, we hope you enjoyed your time at ROPS as much as we enjoyed having you, we wish you the very very best with the rest of your studies. You will make a fantastic teacher!!

Come back and visit!

The Moods of Room 10

Room 10 wrote wonderful cameos this week to describe their moods using similes. Then, with Miss Elliotts help we each created a photo with 3 or 4 separate images displaying our moods. We had lots of fun showing our best 'angry faces'!!

Attached is a video showing the pictures and below is a couple of examples of the 'My Moods' cameos:

My Moods:

When I'm happy I'm like a rugby player scoring a try.

When I'm excited it's like I've just come back from a party.

When I'm sad it's like I've lost my cat.

When I'm tired I'm like a sleeping cat.

When Im angry it's like I'm on fire!

Oliver - Room 10

My Moods:

When I'm angry I'm like a shaking earthquake.

When I'm excited I'm like a fizzy can of coke.

When I'm happy I bloom like a flower in the morning.

When I'm sad I'm like a yowling lost cat.

When I'm tired I'm like a lazy cat.

Abigail - Room 10

STARDOME TRIP

??? I Wonder.... ???

Room 10 have created their own 'Wonder Wall' for our new Inquiry on the 'Earths Cycles'. Inquiry learning is based on: children learning to form their own questions, students playing a big part in leading their own learning and finding out things they would like to know, and with teachers guidance, gathering and selecting information and deciding how best to share or present this.

In the picture attached the students of Room 10 have formed groups and created their own questions or queries about the 'cycles' they have observed happening around them.

Through our Inquiry we will endeavour to find the answers to these questions!

Autumn Acrostic Poems by Room 10

In Room 10 we have been talking lots about the Autumn changes we see happening around us. Autumn is a great time for wonderful writing and beautiful art. In the picture you can see a display we have created about Autumn. First we wrote acrostic poems using the word Autumn, then we published the clever poems onto Autumn leaves which we dyed with beautiful Autumn colours.

SELF PORTRAITS by ROOM 10

We created these beautiful self portraits step by careful step with the help of Mrs Cusack and Miss Fisher. First we painted the background, then we painted the skin colour. After that we painted the eyes, the nose and the mouth. When that was dry we added hair and the clothes. Last of all we painted a frame to complement our portraits. They took us a long time! But we think they look amazing and we are very proud of them!!

Conference Feedback=

Wow, what a conference! I have learnt a lot and am very excited to work away on a Friday to really lift the IT opportunities available to our teachers and students at Royal Oak Primary! I will keep you posted! :-)

We are really excited to attend this conference to network with other schools and hear presentations on exciting new ICT initiatives.
