Science in Room 15

This is one of the science groups ripping

This tree can be made into paper

Room 15 have been experimenting with paper as part of science.We have all been put in 7 groups of 4 for this experiment to find the qualities of paper. The  different types of exploring we have done are: shining a light onto the paper to see how much light was let through,
 dripping dye to see which paper soaked in the most dye
 folding to see how much spring the paper had,
 ripping to test which paper ripped the easiest,
 testing the grain by ripping and looking at the fibres with a magnifying glass,

When we have finished  all of the  experiments we will be making our own paper which we will then use for making our year 6 invitations.

Art with Year 5s by Nakayla and Sarah

Year 5 Art

While the Year 6s are practicing there social  dance the year 5's have been doing art.
We are looking at a New Zealand artist called Randal Leach. He is a  famous artist. He put lots of detail into his art such as kowhaiwhai and koru patterns.We have been practicing to draw our own kowhaiwhai and koru patterns. We also have been reading some Maori legends from our library corner to figure out some more patterns we can use.The first drawing we have done is something that we chose to draw such as a koru pattern love heart The second picture we drew had to be a scene with land, water, sky and the sun and we tried to include some patterns  / designs  that tie in with nature.

Keep looking at our blog for progress with our artwork.

Room 15's Game by Tom, Quentin and Tommy

In Room 15 we have been playing a game that we have just learnt. We don't know the name yet but we will tell you about the game and how to play....

First make 2 teams, a fielding team and a throwing team. Once you've divided into 2 teams, decide who is throwing and who's fielding. Then you need to have 3 lines to run to (the netball court would be best)
When you throw you go to each line, you can stop at the lines but not when you are coming back. You have to go the whole way. You can have more than 1 person on a line and can't over lap someone. And when you throw you can't do under arm. The way to get out is if you catch it on the full and if you throw it straight  out of bounds without it touching the ground.  If you get tagged, you also get out. You can't run with the ball.

From this game we are learning throwing skills, team work and it has similar skills to baseball and tee ball.

Young Leaders Day

On Tuesday the 29th of May me and the other house captains went to a Young Leaders Day in Palmerston North at  the Regent.


There were 5 speakers that talked about what had happened in their life that was a big thing  to them. The 5 speakers names were Nick Tuitasi, Dr Farah Palmer, Cam Calkoen, Jamie Fitzgerald and Dave Atkinson and a special and famous singer Annah Mac came and talked as well.

One of my favorite speakers was and still is Cam Calkoen because even though he had cerebral palsy he kept on going with what he wanted to do even though he was teased. That is why he is my favourite speaker.
