the weekly catch up 7
Kia ora and hello, today our bloggaloggas are Thomas and Ashleigh!
In week 4 the year 6's of room 24 started Cycle Safe,we learnt a lot from the teachers and most of us passed but some of us need supervision from an adult.Room 24 year 6's are now super duper bikers.
Wet day monitors is great, we get to play with little cuties, a.k.a little screaming people.We have been coming up with some great ways to stop them from arguing and being quiet, and so so far this job has been quite easy.Some of our ways to stop them from being pesky are saying, "Hey look out the window" or "Hey there's someone else to go and play with".So as you can see we are very smart indeed.
In week five two people from Science Alive came to visit the seniors to teach them about different forces. It was great, we made cars that were made out of plastic connecting rods. We made very interesting cars that moved using the force of wind.We also made air hockey type of discs. We used blue tack an old disc a sports bottle lid and a balloon.They were very successful.
We've been making our mark three darts with heavier paper.We found out that heavier paper flies better.But this this time we threw the planes a longer distance and some of them actually did make the whole distance.Teariki, Kai and Luseta's planes were probably the most successful and right now were making our mark four darts.
"IT'S REPORT WEEK AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Mr Williams is doing reports but luckily he is open to bribing but we're trying to do well in some of the tests. He said he's open to bribery of chocolate e'clairs . We are doing lots of tests to see if we have actually learnt anything!! In Probes tests we have all really improved, Mr Williams is very pleased.
SLURP SLURP SLURP SLURP SLURP!!!!! Today we started the Fonterra milk for schools process. It's been easy so far but I must say the folds are difficult because you have to flatten the carton right down. Everyone had milk, so we will all have healthy bones !!!!
Hockey,Soccer,Rugby,Netball are the winter sports for this term. But not everyone makes the team.
Each Friday the sport people get on the bus and leave to Hagley park.But the rest still have fun.At Friday sport where we practice the different sports and hope we get into a team next term.
We have recently started reading a new book called" Public Enemy Number Two" written by Anthony Horowitz.We've all been enjoying it a lot. It's an interesting narrative about a boy who gets framed and is stuck in prison on purpose. This is a funny book and also quite serious at the same time.Will Nick get out of jail?
Now we all know that math is sometimes boring but it helps you when you grow up.
For maths we have started multiplication and division its going to be a challenging time because some of us need to learn them.So I recommend that the adults help the children learn the multiplication and division.We've got lots of very brainy people in our class and hopefully at the end of the year or term
all of us can be very very brainy.So get cracking with those tables and have fun.
That's our weekly catch up, make sure you come back to see our next catch up with some other people.
We're out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!=)

the weekly catch up 5
Hi everyone this week our bloggaloggas are Anastasia and Sam.
Over the last couple of weeks we have been training for the Cross Country AKA angry (cross) nation (country). We have 3 groups for training they are the Sloths, the Giraffes and the Cheetahs. We are given an amount of laps to do. When we are finished we yell done and Mr Williams gives us our time and our goal is to beat the time before. Mr Williams also encourages us to choose another person in our group and aim to beat them!! Everyone is improving. YAY!!
On Monday the senior team went to Hagley golf course to practice their golf skills on a real course. Everybody had a lot of fun at the golf course. Many of us were brilliant at golf and are destined to be golfing stars.
Last week we started on our egg diaries. They have mostly been written in first person. They are very funny and we are enjoying writing them. Here are some opening sentences of our egg diaries!
Anastasia's opening sentence: Hi, i'm Shelly and I'm going to talk to you about my spectacular adventures with my mum.
Thomas's opening sentence: "yaaay" I just got my new diary. But "boo" my best friend just died, he was killed in action. But we have have to over come our weaknesses.
Sam's opening sentence: Hi Nacho - Libre here. I'm going to talk to you about my ab fab, exciting , fun and sometimes sad life! Well it all started at birth ( of course) !!
On Monday the first sports trial was held and it was Netball. All of the other sports are going to have their trials next term.
On Tuesday we went to the Blue Skies outdoor activity centre we had lots of fun doing the initative, orienteering and confidence courses.
Yesterday was a mufti day so we could raise money for the returned and services association. We also had a A.N.Z.A.C cerimony in the hall. Mr W told us all the details about A.N.Z.A.C day.
Today is the last day of term wich means 2 weeks off school! ( yay). But sadly Miss Dunbar left the school at lunch to head to Aussie ( mate mate mate).
Make sure you check back next term for the weekly catch up 6!

Kia ora everybody and welcome to our blog!! Today our bloggaloggas are... Jade and Sam.
Last Thursday we started a competition that would change our lives for ever!!! (not really). It was the egg-sitting challenge. Basically we have to take care of an egg for as long as we can and if it smashes we are elimanated from the competition. It is part of the Keeping ourselves Safe programme. We have made many very cool houses for our eggs that will keep them safe from harm.
Also last Thursday St Albans school had an Easter Egg Hunt!! Every student was paired up with their buddies.Our buddies were Rm 5. Rm 24 had to hold the little 5 year olds hands!After we found all the colours and coloured the eggs in, on our sheets, Rm 24 and their buddies chocolate eggs were hiding in their little baskets in Rm 4.Mr Williams and Mrs Craig hid the baskets, so the children had do a Easter egg hunt to find their yummy chocolate. Many people were tired when the day finished.
Fabulous Rm 24 did some fabulous portraits.The portraits are hanging up in our Fabulous Classroom.Mr Williams asked Rm 24 who's portrait looked more like them self, and the winners were...Julius and Anastasia.Now the portraits can stare at naughty kids to freak them out!Mr Williams thinks Amandas portrait is doing the job. :) :)
St Albans School are engouraging people to walk the loop.A childs reward for walking the loop is house points. The school councilers are out there once a week to reward children. We will be out there again on thursday. So... walk walk walk walk the loop and follow the footprints!!!
Nervously Rm 24 has been doing P.T and B.R. P.T stands for Prepared Talk and B.R stands for Book Review. Bravely Rm 24 have coping. Everyone has had a turn and have done very well, because it is quite nerve wracking getting up in front of everyone.

Kia ora everybody, today the blog writters are Sam and Jack!
This week we have been very fortunate to have 2 lovely dogs come in and they are...
Poppy (Anastasia's miniature German schnauzer) and Memphis (Willow's border collie)! They are both very cute!!
For art this week we have been working on our portraits. Most have been finished and they are amazing! Come in and have a look!
Today is the wonderful wise and witty Mr Williams birthday! He thinks he is over 1,000,000 years old and there is no number for is age but we believe that he is 63! Mr Williams recieved a nerf gun from Jake (for kings and queens or any other emergency attack children times).
The class also wrote many messages on the whiteboard for Mr W. Happy birthday Mr Williams.
Our dazzling photos are now up on our wall and they look fabulous.
This week we have been writing scary stories and brave stories. They are going very well sofar.
We are continuing to enjoy Stormbreaker so much that about 5 children have found copies in libraries and follow along when Mr Williams reads. Also many of us saw the Stormbreaker movie on Friday night.
On Tuesday Julius presented a book review on his book that he wrote himself called "The Mystery of the Holts."It is very impressive and has 9 chapters! He has been working on his book for a long time.
The book reveiws and prepared talks have been going very well. We had a very good B.R from Lydia on The Witches which went for over 5 minutes and Thomas did a very good P.T on the history of Lego which went for over 4 minutes, they were both very informative. The Maths groups are also zooming along, and Amanda is proving to be the resident maths genius!!

The Weekly catch up 2
Hello to everyone! Today our bloggaloggas are Brydie and Sam. Sorry the blog entry is late. On Monday last week Mr Williams received a new wombat. We think he is enjoying his new home and friends.
Last Wednesday we did a PAT listening test. The year 6s went up stairs to Mrs Bateman and the year 5s from her class came to Mr Williams to do the test.dun dun dun. Most of us completed the test well.
Busy days our Wednesdays, as well as having the test we became young golfing super stars just like Lydia Ko! ; ) We worked on perfecting the drive and learning the chip (no food involved sorry!) Yuki was the star of the golf session as he got the ball in the hoop twice while doing the chip.
On Thursday we started our reading programme which meant choosing group names. We came up with the following: Dopey Creatures, Kiwiana, Team Minecraft, Tiny Tiddlers and Magic Koalas.
On Thursday we had our first whole school assembly. At the assembly they announced the student leaders.The student leaders from our class are: Brydie (deputy head girl), Sam and Lydia (school council) and Luseta & Michael (house captains of blue and red)!
On Monday we had swimming sports at Jellie Park! Our class members did very well but our relay team came 3rd.It was really fun and the people who stayed at school did art with Mrs Glasson.
The people who went to swimming sports had some great successes.
We are happy to say that the book reviews and prepared talks have been going fantastically so far! Sorry we haven't been able to get the videos of the P.Ts and B.Rs up on the blog, there have been some technical difficulties.
Thank you for reading! Make sure to check back next week for...the weekly catch up 3!!!! ( :

This week we started a new chapter book called Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz. It is the first book from the Alex Rider series and it is an action adventure full of suspense and mystery!!
For writing this week we have been focusing on early memories and early school memories! They are mostly about potty training, injuries, not wanting to go to school and crying for mum at school! So they are hilarious to read! In maths we have been working on averages, medians, mode and range. We work from statistics sheets and most of us are up to mode and range.
Today we start summer Hagley sport. The sports are: Softball (coached by Mr Williams and Lee, Michaels nan), Kiwitag (coached by Mrs Ford) and all girls Cricket (coached by Mr Mckenzie and Miss Archabold ). On Wednesday a golf teacher named Mrs Jones came to St Albans school to give some lucky classes a lesson, including us! We all enjoyed watching the boys who think they are supreme at golf fail! Naturally, the girls were better!
This week we have been working on our look at me charts and acrostic poems. They look really colourful and are interesting to read! The next time you come in make sure you have a look!
On Monday we are having elections for school council so make sure you prepare a speech for Monday!
One year 6 and one year 5 will be chosen for the job! Today we start arts interchange!!! The activities are: percussion, dance,drama and maori performing arts. These activities will happen on Fridays at 11.30!
This year we have many cultures in our class like: chinese, japenese, maori and our great italian...Thomasio Forseone A.K.A Thomas Forsey. Thats right this year Thomas will eat tomatoes, swim in olive oil and chuck pasta everywhere!
