Room 10 has been super busy so far this term with extension English and Mathematics Competitions, turbo touch, gymnastics, winter sports tournament, the Kahurangi performance, college sports, science alive, bike safety, the ski trip and most importantly our assembly.
Here are some photos of us playing turbo touch with Kat... It is lots of fun!!!
 |
| We had to touch the ball on the ground before passing it |
 |
| We had to run fast with the ball |
 |
| We run a lot |
 |
| We have both hands on the ball so we can pass it easily |
Here are some photos of us doing gymnastics. We love the trampoline and the box the best! We look awesome!!!

We were also lucky enough to have the Kahurangi group visit this term and perform for us.. their show was called 'The People of the Pacific'
 |
| They played drums and sung songs from different cultures |
 |
| They performed traditional dances from all the islands |
 |
| They did a Poi dance that represented the New Zealand Maori |
 |
| They were fantastic!!! |
In week 5 Science Alive came and showed us lots of experiments about light. Our favourite one was when they shone two lazers on the wall a red one on top and a green one underneath. They then put a lens in the middle and it made the green lazer be on top and the red one was underneath. It was crazy!
Later in the day our class went over and got to do lots of different experiments. We made UV bracelets that seem clear but change colour when the sun hits them. We also made a toy car move by shining a lamp on it. It was an awesome day!!
 |
| We learnt lots of interesting facts about light |
 |
| We learnt what happens when you look at light through glass |
 |
| We had to draw looking through a mirror.. It was hard!! |
 |
| We got to play tricks on our eyes!! |
 |
| We made the solar power car move! |
 |
| We learnt about reflecting and absorbing different colours! |
 |
| We wore funny glasses that changed what we saw! |
We have also had our theory lesson with Constable Chris and on Wednesday we have our practical lesson where we get to take our bikes out to the bike track and learn how to use them safely.
The big highlight for this term was our assembly. We put in a lot of practice and some of us performed the play 'Maui and the Giant Fish' and the rest of us danced to 'Uptown Funk'. We were really proud of our work!!
 |
| Maui tricked the brothers and hid in the waka |
 |
| Everyone thought Jacob looked funny as the fish |
 |
| The dancers were amazing!! |
 |
| Everyone laughed and clapped along! |
Unfortunately the video of the dance and the play are too big put on the blog. I will try and make them smaller and update it later!
We have really enjoyed the term so far but we all agree it has gone sooooo fast!! Only 4 weeks to go! We have tennis starting this week which we are looking forward to, also the sausage sizzles for the Year 5's to fundraise for camp. Next week we have book character day which will be a lot of fun as well as all the other work we do in class. Surprisingly Maths is one of our favourite topics at the moment! We love solving tricky multiplication and division problems!
Check back next week for another update of what has been happening in Room 10!!! :)
