Numeracy in room 5

In room 5 we have been learning about coordinates and compass bearings. We have 4 maths groups- Brilliant bearings, Clever coordinates,  Lucky locations and Marvellous maps. We have been learning about 6 figure grid references.  

Athletics was yesterday on the 6th of March, Everyone was trying to get in something and have fun somethings were harder than others for people there were tall and short people the day was tiring

Athletics Day

Yesterday was the athletics day and I think everyone did a great job at every one of the sports! Yesterday was really fun because lots of the sports included running and I like running. Someone my class threw a discus really far and that would be Tyreek! There is a big chance that he will go to the inter intermediate athletics. I saw all the year seven boys from my group try their best and if I could go to the inter intermediate athletics I would try as hard as I can ,but only a few of the most sporty people get to go there. For vortex, Christian, one of the year seven boys, got a 3 and a 3 means you got the best score you could get. The thing I was best at is shotput because I got a 2. My favourite though was long jump because at my primary I came 3rd. For sprints it was really hard even to get a 2 because to get it you have to beat 13 seconds in the 75 metres sprint. and you have to beat 15 seconds in the 100 metres sprint. My least favourite is high jump because it's too high for me to jump over.

The Islands Challenge - We Won!

One of the team building challenges we have done is the Island Challenge which involves racing another team across the courts stepping only on mats.

We worked really well together and beat Room 4 & 6 .

Here is a PCU chart showing some of our reflection on the challenge.

Room 5 students, could you add a comment explaining why our team was successful?

Welcome back to Rm 5 in 2012

Welcome to Rm 5 2012!

With the school year just about to start there are lots of exciting things ahead. Tomorrow brings the first day of school where existing Year 8 students will get to meet the new Year 7s who will make up Rm 5 in 2012.

There is lots ahead of us in what will be a jam packed term; getting to know you activities, Athletics Day, finding out about citizenship, a team building trip, new spec groups, new classmates to get to know..... The list goes on.

I look forward to the adventures that term 1 will bring, and hope that we will find some new student blog administrators to get blogging on here soon :)

Room 4's Poems

Happiness by Fleur

Happiness
Joyful, Fun
Laughhing, Giggling, Smiling
Happiness is yellow like the sun.

Sadness by Libby

Sadness is blue like the endless sea,
It tastes like rice bland and tasteless,
It smells like sewage pungent and disgusting,
It looks like a never ending pit,
It sounds like the echo in a dark tunnel,
It feels cold and relentless.
