Ask Me About

Week 5 has been and gone already. This term certainly is flying by. Room 19 have been so busy with their learning.

Literacy: we are all researching ideas about changes during the years of the Olympics. When reading we need to skim and scan the text to find main ideas, take notes and then summarise in our own words. 

Maths: Geometry this week has had us working on making and drawing cube houses. This has kept us all very busy and challenged, learning to draw 3 D shapes on isometric paper, our next step is to price the houses. We have also completed our circle art. 

Cycle safety: our Year 6 students have completed their road safety on their bikes. Well done! 

Reminders for next week: 

WINTER SPORT IS CANCELLED TODAY

We Are Stars

We have made the local paper, The Christchurch Mail:

They had 5 different instruments that they played for us. 

Year 6 Cycle Safety

ASK ME ABOUT


MATHS: What is rotation, translation and Symmetry? How do we make a tessellation? 

Olympics: Who was New Zealand's first female Olympian? What sport did you enter? Can you tell us anything about her? 
What medals have we won so far?

Bike Tracks:  Time is running out to get these completed. What do you still need to work on to get it done on time? What do you need help with. Remember they need to have a presentation as well. 

Art Trip in the City Centre: Many thanks to all of our parents from Room 19 who were able to come with us on our trip. I really appreciate the support you gave our class on the day. Thanks to Bernie, Edwin, Chee Chang, Stephanie and Maria. 

CONGRATULATIONS: to these students who were awarded Values Certificates this week 
Well done to you for your solid efforts. 

Jacob Yikes: What an amazing artist Jacob is. The students watched a couple of items about him during the week then thought of questions collaboratively to ask him when he came to visit. He spoke to the children for about 25 minutes then started on a piece of art work. While painting he continued to answer students questions. Find out more about Jacob  by clicking on his name. Check out the amazing transformation of a plain board.

Next Week is BOOK WEEK: There will be a range of activities around reading. Remember that it is Dress up as a book character on Thursday. 

Collaborative work

Fantastic work is going on in Room 19!

Check out the photos below of models being made of the pump track designs. 

We will keep you posted on the progress!

Week 2

Another fantastic week in Room 19! Thank you to everyone for coming to the learning conferences. It was great to catch up with everyone, I really enjoyed our conversations. 

 

Ask Me About: 

Geometry: what shapes have you learnt about? How do you make bets? What is the difference between a 2D and a 3D shape? See below for the awesome shapes made from nets. 

OLYMPIC VALUES   

This week in reading we have concentrated on the Olympic values and how they are shown by New Zealand Olympic athletes. What are the Olympic Values? 

Gymnastics: 

More great sessions working together to present routines using a range of shapes, balances and rolls! 

Dance

With Miss Gemma, what an awesome session we had on Friday. All students were working away so well on their pump track, when Mr Withers reminded us of our dance session! Whoops. 

It was fantastic.
