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.
Now it was turn for the Black Caps to bat!
and then at the end  of the game Sri lanka ended with a score of 167.
Near the end of the game it was up to Brendan Mcullum to win this.

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.

Burma Trail

The year 6 went to mistletoe bay for 2 night and 3 day's. On the second night we did the burma trail in room 5 Caitlin and Anna screamed like anything. Josh, Levi, Liam, and Ilaria didn't scream at all. Josh said that the Burma Trail this year was way more scary than last year at Marahau. The Burma Trail went properly through the bush. Everyone had a blindfold on and the teachers and parents were scaring everyone by poring water over us, tasering us tickling them and screaming at us. Every year ^ loved the Burma Trail and thought it was really fun!

Book Donations

In Room Five, we are doing book donations. Book donations is to help people to read more and variety of books. Other kids from different classes, could you please donate any unwanted books to help our class be better readers. 

We are doing something where you can choose your own books from the library. We do something called P.I.C.K. Pick stands for: 

P: Purpose; Why I want to read the book?

I: Interest; Does it interest me?

C: Comprehension; Do I understand it?

K: Know; Do I know most of the words?

We also do this thing that is called the five finger test. You turn to a random page and read it. If there is a word that you don't know, thats 1 finger down. if there is another three or four, then maybe that books a bit to hard for you. If there is there is one more word that you don't know, try another page of that book or another book.

Paper Chain - Guinness World Records .

At the end of this term we may be attempting to break the Guinness World Record for the longest paper chain. The world record stands as 380m and we want to get over 380 to maybe 500 meters.

If we accomplish this mission to break the world record we will call someone to come and we will prove that the hard work we have done is true . If we do finish this record then we will be proud members of the Guinness world records 2015.
