My new and improved year in room 15

INTERESTING  Doing my 'me picture' art  because i can learn about the new people in room 15 and to this school. Caregivers can also see who you are and others and see what they missed about other people in the class


CHALLENGING    tabloids  because that there is lot of games to do


LOOKING FORWARD TO      intermediate  so then i can start a new year

So far in room 15

Something challenging for me was swimming because I am so bad at backstroke.I would keep on failing and failing.

Interesting
Something interesting for me was going home with a stick dangling out of my arm.

Looking forward too
I am looking forward too the day trip because we get to go kayaking and do Archery.

Hello Friends! In Room 15 we have welcomed a new Year six student Rose. She has moved from Taupo which quite a long way away.

In other news we had a fire drill on Wednesday! I mean it was not scary but actually quite educational on what to do in a fire!

The weather has turned a corner and is now gorgeous but also still feels like 190 degrees! If your class reads out the weather each day check out this website it is very helpful:

Anyway thanks for reading this short post. Here is your question for the week:

What do you do to keep nice and cool?

Lunch Time Swims/Rainy day activites

It has been so hot lately, practically like 109 degrees (not literally but it feels like it). So we need to cool off. Maybe swimming first thing in the morning isn't really that fun but lunch time swims are necessary! Every day will be a lunchtime swim (unless its raining, i'll get into that later) for the Middle Syndicate or the Senior Syndicate. 

To be able to swim at lunch time, you need to be one of the first 30 people at the pool gate lined up nicely. You need your togs obviously and of course a good attitude. Whilst swimming, you will notice a teacher. That teacher is who you need to go to if you have a problem in the pool.

The changing rooms may be packed yeah yeah but what do you do? Do you wait, squeeze in and kick someone out or ask the teacher if you can go the bathrooms? Well I suggest asking the teacher to get changed in the bathrooms or just waiting which may be a while. 

Uh Oh! *Pit Pat Pit Pat* Its raining, to the classroom! So it has been raining quite a lot over the past couple of days but what is there to do in class? Here are a few options:

- Read a book

- Ask a teacher to play on a Netbook or ipad (Remember learning games only)

-See if your class has board games that are easy to tidy up

- Art

- Ask your teacher to put a short film on

There will always be a teacher patrolling each syndicate so if you have a problem, tell that teacher when He/She comes to your class!

I hope these tips helped!

Welcome back!

Welcome back everybody! Its 2016 which means its a New Year and it also means new students! We need to welcome these students and make them feel comfortable at our school by helping them if their lost, making sure they know their way around and helping them make new friends. We are also lucky enough to get to swim in our school pool this year. As you may or may not know, the pool does need renovations so we need to be extra careful and try not to break anything. Also make sure not to run beside the pool since it may be slippery! Make sure to listen to your teachers every single day and you may get rewarded for it! Be sure to put 100% effort into your work as well! I hope you have a wonderful 2016!
