The Glow Show

 On Thursday we went to a glow show and it was about under the sea. The best part was when the sea orchion turned into a pearl and  at the end we got to ask questions. The show took 1 hour so the actors would take a lot of time to practice. They made the costumes with glow in the dark paint.  It was pretty funny and I liked the part when the wishing star showed up. It was  amazing for us. We were so excited and we had a glow show last year and it was about matariki.  

In the middle an octopus met the sea urchion and said where did you come from and the sea urchion said from cucumber island and then the queen come and the octopus said quick go behind me and then the queen said hello have you seen a sea urchin and he said umm ooh i saw  a sea urchin go to Fiji and the queen said we've been in Fiji and then the queen left. At the end the queen turned into a squid and got eaten. It was pretty funny and fun and it was very cool.

Week 10 Highlights

This week we did some awesome things.

Throughout the week we have been watching our seedlings grow bigger. Soon we might have to plant them into bigger pots.

On Tuesday Tip Top was kind enough to give us some jelly tip ice-creams. Some of us thought that the ice-creams were delicious.

On Thursday we watched a glow show at the Hawkins theatre. It was all about under the sea.

We are so excited that the holidays are tomorrow. Some of us are going to do some amazing things.

Animations

 For Cybersmart we got to do free animation making. We made different variations of animations and we learnt how to speed up animations to make it flow better. We needed to publish our code to the web, then somewhere in our code we could change the slide changing time from seconds, to milliseconds. Also we learnt how to duplicate slides, along with cropping images. We have chosen the top 5 animations to put on this blog post.

The Little Garden

 The Little Garden

The Little Garden is Room 1’s secret garden, where Room 1 grows vegetables. Room 1’s biggest secret is the students get to wear badges. When our vegetables are fully grown we get to make a stir fry or a stew. I think it’s going to be delicious! There are a whole bunch of different vegetables like spinach and other things. Do you like vegetables at least one? Room 1’s vegetables are growing super fast and we hope Room 1’s vegetables will grow super fast! We started in week 7 to grow vegetables and the tallest seedling is 11 centimeters! That seedling is Nic’s. Room 1 is so happy with all of our seedlings and mine is starting to sprout! Room 1 and Little Garden HQ are teaming up with Room 1 and they sent Room 1 special codes that Room 1 has to solve. It's different but it’s amazing!

Shopping Role-play

 This week we did some shopping role-playing!

The day before the role-playing  we had to take some food boxes and go to Countdown or New World's online shopping websites and see their real prices and write them down.  

Then we got to play! Some of us were shop keepers and the others were customers! The girls were the shop keepers and the boys were the customers. It was pretty cool when us girls were the shop keepers! We used our high table to put the boxes on. Lot's of people brought food boxes they didn't need anymore. We were learning about money and marketing. We had to give the shoppers there change and learnt lots about marketing! Each shopper was given $20 to spend on stuff we were selling.

Tennis

The last two weeks we have been doing tennis with a  coach. In tennis the first strike we learnt  was the  four hand. The next strike we learnt was the volley. Then we went into a competition. The class had to hit a tennis ball and Mr Kelly and Miss H had to catch it and if they didn't catch it we would not have a point and if they did cach it we would get a point and we had Mr kelly as our catcher and he catched  it 20 times. It was so cool and fun. The next week we went out for tennis again and then we learnt the volley after the volley practice. Our coach said that the volley was the last tennis practice. It was so much fun doing everything. On the first day of tennis our class was so nervous that they almost did not want to do it. But after that they could not wait for the next tennis practice.
