Rhythm Interactive

We had lots of fun at the Rhythm Interactive workshop on Friday. We learnt seven different rhythms on the drums ranging from easy to difficult. Check out the ultimate focus from the Kauri whanau students (and teachers).

The Buddhist temple

What an awesome day at the Buddhist temple, learning about the 3Gs and 4Gs.

Think good thoughts, say good words, do good deeds.
Give others confidence, give others joy, give others hope, give others convenience.

Have you used your 3Gs or 4Gs recently? Leave a comment and let us know how...

Happy Mother's Day (for Sunday)

I think there will be some happy Mummies on Sunday! We hope that all Room 5 mums have a lovely Mother's Day!

Biography Guess Who

This week Room 5 students have been learning how to write biographies. A biography is when you write about somebody else's life. Each student in Room 5 interviewed a classmate about their life and then wrote a biography about that person. We decided to delete their names so that you would have to try and guess who the biography is about. Here are a couple of finished ones.

Moment in Time writing

Here is some writing we have been working on about our trips to Eastern Beach and Tree Adventures. We had to think of a highlight or lowlight from our trip, imagine we were back in that moment and write about it as if it was happening right now. It was a challenge remembering to write in present tense! We also tried to incorporate some figurative language to make it interesting for our readers. Here are some of the finished ones.

Liam's Holiday In Wellington

Hi Room 5!

In the holidays I flew to Wellington! It was really cool. I got a tour inside of the Bee Hive and saw lots of interesting things!
​

​I also got to go on this train called 'The Cable Car!' It was really a fun trip!  😀
