Three things I am looking forward to and why

1 Something I'm looking forward to is movie night. Why? Because when you're tired it's relaxing and quiet.

2 Secondly what I want to do is skate boarding. Why? It is really fun and nice. You get to go on scooters too. But I recommend going on a skateboard because they are the best.

3 Thirdly I’m looking forward to who wins camp. Why? Because when you win it's fun, you get lollies and you get to pick who’s king and queen

Two goals I have for camp

1 Me and my camp group to win

Google Drawings in Room 6

Room 6 has been learning different skills on their Chromebooks. They were given a challenge to try and draw themselves on Google Drawing. This task definitely tested our patience, but we stuck in there and got it done. Check out our self portraits and goals!

Identifying the different cities in New Zealand

WALT: identify cities in New Zealand and find out some information about cities that are unfamiliar

Our activity was to familiarise ourselves with the different cities that were in our country. Our teacher put the names of some cities in New Zealand along the side and it was our job to place them in the correct spot. We were able to look at Google Images to research where these cities lay on our countries islands.

Then we had to choose a city we haven't been to or heard of, and research 5 facts about it.

We are hoping to learn more and more about our beautiful country throughout the year!

Introducing Room 6 for 2020!

Welcome to the new students, and welcome back to our other students! I start the new decade as a teacher to not only Year 6's, but some Year 5's as well. Most of the children in this class have already experienced being in a shared learning environment, and others were moving from a single cell class.

I was privileged to get to know some of these children in 2019, and I couldn't wait to get to meet and build relationships everyone else, especially those who came from other schools.

Our theme for this year is 'kia mau tonu te tūmanako' which means never lose hope. I am looking forward to seeing the children in Room 6 show their will to never give up, and to use this opportunity to help others who may need it.

Feel free to visit our Room 6 blog and leave comments, and even go and check some of the children's work throughout the year (you can find their blogs on the side bar or on the Point England School site) - I know they would love that!
