Hello our blog followers today, it"s the 23.8.13. Our blogger loggers today are Ambyr and Tane!
GOAL SHEETS
At the start of term 3 we have been making some colourful goal sheets. We had to choose a sport that involved a ball. For example fabulous Yuki choose football. After that you had to choose your goal and decide your background . In the ball or the goal you put your goal.
HANDS
In week 3 we had made 3D hands. We traced our hands and drew lines across the traced hand at least 1cm apart. Next we coloured the lines. In dramatic colours like purple blue and red!
MOSAICS
We got a piece of a4 paper. Then we got black paint and made patterns, we made sure that it was wide. We used primary colours and black.Everyone did really well.
FINISH THE PICTURE
Last week we finished off dog heads and car front.We discovered that we had a lot more fantastic artists in the class than we thought.The top three cars were Teariki,Michael and Tane. The top three dogs were Luseta, Samantha and Thomas.
OUR CITY RE-DISCOVEREd
2 weeks ago the senior block went to the CBD and we had loads of fun .We did heaps of art in our topic book and they all put into a lot of work.It was a big walk but everyone was great except for some people no name mentioned.We all had favourites and that was the good thing.
WINTER HAIKU'S
Last week we started on our winter haiku's and some are being finished off .The best two were Yuki's and Luseta's .The first one is Yuki.
Weather is snow
Hot chocolate and hot milo
Time to play soccer
And Luseta's
Hot soup,cold mornings
Frosty, icy ,muddy fields
Goose bumps ,shivers, BURRR!!!
MATHS-A-THON
Last week we did a math test to raise money for math equipment ,for math for the school. Ambyr raised the most out of the class with $160.Everyone got at least one sponsor which was great.
2MUCH4U
We have started a new story called 2much4u by Vince Ford and its about a boy who is like his father who past away and that explains everything because he's forgetful and careless.
GEOMETRY
WE STARTED NEW MATH NOW with old but useful things called protractors and compasses but not north east south west kind of things the ones that the perfect circles.so far we've done protractors and discovered they're quite easy.
Thats all for now make sure you're back next week with the next mystery writers. bye from Tane Ambyr and help from Ashleigh while Ambyr was at choir .

week 10 catch up
Hi, it's been a long time since we have had our last blog update. A lot of fun and exciting things has happened for these last few weeks! Oh! We are Willow and Jake, your official bloggaloggas for this edition
Inquiries
For the topic of flight a lot of the seniors had to do a poster, a question, or an electronic etc. Room 24 had mostly had done posters, and a few did an electronics. Most of these have been FABULOUS! But some of us had to try again because they hadn't prepared it.
The winning house groups!
Coming in 3rd place Kahurangi, in 2nd Kowhai and in 1st equal Kakariki and Whero! Well done all teams don't put your head down if you didn't come 1st, because there is always next term.
Sport Tournaments!
Since neither of us bloggaloggers went to the winter sports tournaments all we know is, the Rugby team got into the Canterburys, and the other teams weren't so lucky.
Big Sleep In!
Yesterday ,in our Big Sleep In, which was our big day in. We watched a movie and we could bring a pillow, our PJS etc.
The movie was The Smurfs." Hey, Jake aren't we so lucky that we got popcorn and a crunchy bar!" said Willow
"Yeah, we're lucky!" replied Jake.
OH, NO ITS THE END OF SCHOOL!! As we all sob bitterly.
"Jake, what will we do?, sobbed Willow." I don't know", Jake replied sadly, "We shall both miss school enormously!"
This is Willow and Jake reporting room 24 news, bye!
SNOW! or was it??
There was a tiny bit of snow, that we were sure that it was going to get up to our noses.
So a lot of students didn't go to school, but it didn't evan get up to our ankles! Only 9 people
from room 24 came to our came to our school and 2 had to leave that makes 7 in total.
Visit to Wigram
About two weeks ago we went to the Wigram Airforce museum. We had a scavenger hunt, here are some objects we had to find: A yellow plane, a bent propeller,an blue tractor and a Teddy bear. We also
went upstairs to see the body parts of a airplane, and we also got some mini airplanes.
Luseta's birthday [YUM!]
On the 27th of June Luseta's birthday happened, since she is Tongan it was a Tongan tradition that
every boy and girl got a piece of cake and a little tub of either strawberry or vanilla ice-cream, the
boys got vanilla ice-cream and the girls got strawberry ice-cream.I SCREAM YOU SCREAM WE ALL SCREAM FOR LUSTETA'S ICE-CREAM! + try and say that five times.
Owls [hoo hoo]
When Mr Williams was doing our reports, our teacher for the day was Miss Norton so for the afternoon we did some art and created some owls for our topic of flight. We all think they look ab fab! Here is how we did it, we did a draft copy first, then when Miss Norton thought we had done our best she told us to do the owl again but on the A4 piece of paper, when we had done our drawing on our paper we coloured in the owls with pastle.
Reports!
On Monday, the 8th of June room 24 got our reports, we thought it was the end of the world! But things turned out alright, lots of people got rewarded with FOOD AND MONEY! Mr Williams thought he should get a percentage but we gave him nothing!
OH, NO Interviews!
A lot of people had interviews this week, we have found out that in room 24 Mums are more popular
than the very rare creature a Dad, but a few Dads did come. We hope that you had a good interview!

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!!
Make sure you check back next week for the weekly post 4!
