This week, we have continued to sharpen our Volleyball skills with our coach from Kelly Sports. Getting ready for Volleyball interschools next week.
What Fun!
Kia ora everyone, our school had an amazing time with our Duffy Book Role Model Mrs Nehemia last Thursday. She was so kind, caring and very humble. As we know she is an amazing actress and mum, who loves to read books! We felt very blessed to get this photo with her.
We’ve been busy the last couple of weeks!
Hi everyone, over the last 2 weeks Rm 1 have continued on their learning journey. With the help of Mrs Grant we are steadily working through getting our blogs up and running, using our Cybersmart link and supporting each other to learn, create and share.
Recommending Films we Loved by Room 5
I am recommending the film Sione Sore Loser because it so funny. They used humorous music that made me laugh. I really liked that how good the acting was and editing. By Amber
I recommend the film Colour because I loved how they dressed up in colors and challenged the other Color House Team and it just looked so fun. By Taina
I am recommending the film Happy Virus it so funny. They used humorous music By Tiana
I am recommending the film Sione Sore Loser because the song sounded like chipmunks. I enjoyed the part where the 3 girls called Sione an Angus. This filmed reminded me of my nephew being an Angus guy. I liked how the film was edited. By Reihana
I am recommending the Curious Case of the Missing Electric Pencil from Stonefields because I liked the acting. by Ally
Practising Comments for the Film Festival
We are excited for the film festival next week and have been practising writing comments. We are focusing on choosing something specific from the film that we enjoyed or we thought was special. We are also trying to use a POWER word to improve the quality of our comments.
Today we watched a film from 2018 called Living in Aotearoa. You can watch it here too. Let us know in the comments what part of the film you enjoyed most and why.
Testing our powers of observation
Room 5 knows there is a lot of media online trying to persuade us.
We took some time to watch a short film today about the House Hippo. We already know some facts about hippos and used this to help us notice and ask questions when we watched the video.

Think SMART Online
We have been learning to Think SMART Online and know what to do if things go wrong.
We created Infographics on our Chromebooks and using pen and paper. How do we know what to do when something goes wrong online?
Can you name each of the actions using the graphics to help?


Building a blog comment by Ana
We have been learning to write positive, thoughtful and helpful comments. First we explored some awesome blog comments so we could see how to write a quality blog comment.
Next we shared our ideas on our learning site.
Then we read Adut’s blog post on Room 3’s Blog.
Finally we used the fridge magnets to build a positive comment for Adut’s blog post.
Here is a Ana’s comment. Let us know what you think in the comments below.
