Science Experiment

This term we have been doing science experiments.

Yesterday in Room 5, we did two experiments. They were making rock out of milk and catapults.
You're probably guessing how to make it?
Step 1:  Get white vinegar, milk, an ice-cream container, a metal bowl with a sieve on the bottom, a bowl and a spoon.
Step 2: Put your metal bowl over the ice cream container.
Step 3: Pour the milk and white vinegar into the bowl, then stir with a spoon.
Step 4: Pour the mixture over the top of the metal bowl.
Step 4: Once the mixture has flown through the sieve you should see some clumpy stuff left on top of the sieve. If you do: Pour it in the ice-cream container and leave it in a dry place for a day or two. If you don't: Repeat until you see it.

The Magnus Effect

In room 5 we have been learning about the Magnus Effect. The Magnus Effect is when you spin a ball from a height backwards and the wind is going each way towards each other around the ball. Since it was thrown backwards, the wind at the back pushes forward and causes the ball to go forwards. It was named after Heinrich Gustav Magnus, who was a German chemist and physicist. Here is a link to a video of a basketball being dropped with the Magnus Effect:

Battling in persuasive writing

In room five some people are battling each other to see if facebook is better than twitter, horses are better than dogs and lots more. The first thing we do is brain storm our points.The more points we have the more we will probably catch them out.We reason them with facts because that's the way you can pull them up but you have to verify them otherwise they could say that that is not true cause they found a fact that is verified which will give them more power against you.

Creative Spaces

Every class has been making creative space blueprints. This terms topic has been creative spaces. Creative spaces is our one clear concrete space outside the back of the M.P.L.C (Multi Purpose Learning Centre.)

Ki-o-rahi Tornament

Some year 5s and 6s went to a Ki-o-rahi tournament at Broadgreen yesterday. They played 6 12 minute games (1 hour and 12 minutes) total. One of our teams won a couple of rounds. From what I've heard it was really fun and tiring. We did cross country yesterday and the people who went were struggling to run! People who went from our class were: Derek, Nick, Jayden and Brynley. Ki-o-rahi is a game where there is a bin in the middle with one circle surrounding it. Then there are 7 cones around the outside as the matariki stars. There is a river that one team cannot go through but the other team can. Two people from one team is in the middle guarding the bin so that the other team does not hit it with the ball, and the rest of the team has to try to get all the matariki cones. The other team has to try and hit the bin with the ball and the people guarding has to try hit it back or catch it.

By Keegan

EURO People

Throughout the school these people called euro came to look at our school. Euro are people that are the bosses of Mrs Gulbransen so basically the bosses of the boss. They are here to see if we are doing good work and to see if the teachers/Mrs Gulbrasnsen are teaching us good enough. Mr Davis said we have to be top notch when they come because if they think we do good work they will stay for longer.

By Neil and Keegan

Persuasive Posters

In room 5 we have been doing  persuasive posters on our creative spaces. Persuasion is when some one wants to make you buy or do something and we made our own poster for creative spaces. Mrs Gulbransen is going to choose a winner for the creative space and then that design will be made. Some of the designs  people made are Skate parks, Woodwork room and UFC cages. Some people thought there could just be nothing there, just an extension to the handball courts. Some people want playgrounds but there's to many playground on our school. Some people want playground but i said I don't want playground to maths play that's why they call it school. school is for learning not for play they didn't call school play when you grow up you don't no anything if someone asks you about the  space. You Just gonna stand say nothing don't do lots of play do lots of work  so that you can learn.

Last Thursday we did a maths test on our times tables from 1 to 12 and our gaol was to average 93 with getting them correct.Instead we got an outstanding average of 108 which is 15 more than we aimed for.
Mr Davis said we nailed it right in the head and that we did better than the two classes he's had before!
We had 7 weeks to practise in math time and we used our math multiplication flash cards from last year for our practising, we had about an hour and a half each time.
Some of us even went home and practised their times tables and that helped every one improve.
The people who stood out the most are... Brynley, Jaya, Ethan, Ellie, Te Matai and Nick.
So on Thursday week 10 we will have a digital device day and might have a shared lunch 
We all are proud of each others work.
We also hope to keep up the good work.

If you have to get your answers twinked out you need to figure it out like 4x2=? If most of our class can do the minute mile we might get to have a digital device day.

Swimming

In room 5 we are learning different skills in swimming. We have a great class relay team and we are going swimming on the day we go to camp.

We are going to get high marks at swimming sports.

At class swimming we have a chart if the class at least finishes ten swimming skills, we get to have free time in the pool.

When we get changed and out the gate we get into our table groups. The first table group ready gets points.

Move out the way classes, Room 5 is going to win the swimming sports!!!

Everybody in room 5 is very excited for camp.

At camp we are going to be good so that we don't get sent home.

Cricket world cup

Black caps Versus Sri lanka
On the first day of the world cup  they were at Saxton oval in Nelson.
The seats were all full.
Some children led the cricketers into the field.
The drone flew around at the start of the game and got videos of the field and the cricket players practicing.
Sri lanka was batting first.
The whistle blew and the game started!
There was a gigantic playground with bouncy castles and it was fun.
One batter for Sri lanka was already out For leg before wicket (When the ball hits the batters leg).
There  were people cheering for the Black caps and waving flags. "yeah woo hoo"
But next Sri lanka got a 4.
Suddenly the batter ran and he got 3 runs or sri lanka.
At the end the score for Sri Lanka was 167.

Welcome back to Room 5!!

This year Room 5 has a lot of fun stuff ahead of us like: Class camp in 2 weeks, New people (year 4 and 5's) and much much more! We have new challenges as well. We have a class code that says: Manakitanga, TrailBlazers, Respect, 100% Effort, Bully-Free and Work Together. A Whakatauki Mckenzie said for her oral language is: Kaua e mata Wheke uru roa. Don't Die like an octopus, die like a Hammer head shark. Mr. Davis thought of a quote for our class.

NONE OF US IS AS SMART AS ALL OF US.
