Camp is nearly here!

Camp is tomorrow and we can't wait much longer. We are doing heaps of activities too and you can join in. We are also going on a three and a half hour walk and are going on a boat to get back. Take a camera for the nice lasting photos but no phones at camp, other wise it will be taken away. Start learning our kai karakia (it will be in your camp book). No insect repellent spraying in the tents other wise the ropes will break. Also bring some baking too who ever brings the tastiest baking will get a prize. Be ready too be thrilled by the amazing marahau camp, and give everything your best shot.

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!!!

Camp!!!!!!!!!!!

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.
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.
Everyone was
New Zealand had a very close win with...

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!
