100 Word Challenge Rose

Soft, curly  and quiet luxurious. What could this mystery material be? The material felt like a woollen jersey, but..  more curly and  dirty. The object that carried the material had just been under a bush. Maybe its a animal or furry little thing that carried this amazing material. The material carrier galloped back to me and went ''BABA"  in my face. The material gets made into things like jerseys. These different types of this material  Merino, Angora and Cashmere. Do you know what the material is? It's curly all the time and a sheep carriers it. Yes it is wool!!!

"Look" everyone scream once we saw the fluttring flames of the olmpic flame.

It was the opening of the Rio 2016 olympics. We where at the olympic stadium watching the astounding opning ceromony. They had just litten the towering torch. The torch was artificial trees in a huge bowl with flames floating like fire flies. 

This made me feel amazing, it felt lke i was floating with the fire. The fire started to roar and suddenely the fire burst up into one big flame and the whole of Rio lit up with BE THE INSPRATION.

This picture gives be inspiration.

Term 2 Rose

Rose 100wc

I'm so claustrophobic, Dirt surrounded me and fart smelling smells also. They make me sleep on a hard as rocks bed, I still don't know why I am in here. As I stumble down the misty, slug covered hallway. Everyone can recall my story, the murder who shot a thousand people in a movie theater on Christmas Day. I try to tell them that i didn't do it but the menacing looking guards shove me into a wall and give me a hiding. I yell and scream, it is incredibly hard being the only female in this disgusting revoltive ALKATRAZ.

Poetry Week Poem Rose

The elephant is a grey stormy night
Grey torrential clouds are her thick leather skin
Lightning bolts are her tremendously long trunk
Rain is her dreaded enemy bucketing down
Her sparkling eyes are he fragile stars hiding be hind the monster like clouds
Leather skin as rough as rocks
Thunderous feet are like the hulk booming down on the city

I like this poem because it is descriptive and has interesting words

Waikato River Poem Rose

Breathing water walks
Crawling bacteria flowing 
Poking nutrients infecting water
Happy water changing Colour
From Mt Tongariro to Port Waikato
Through twists and turns goes the Mighty Waikato River singing all day long.

Room 15 assembly

                                                           Day in the life of Room 15!

Last Friday in week 2 we did assembly. Our theme for assembly was a day in the life of room 15;so younger students could understand what it is like to be in the seniors, better yet room 15.

We performed a growth mindset skit. We also spoke about what we where learning about in reading, maths and writing. The photo above is of me and Matthew reading a report we had written.The report was about Vardon school.

An interesting fact is that we sang a song about the 8 times;we all are still learning our times tables.
"The song was all about them 8's"

One thing that wasn't very good was that 15 news didn't play for us, we don't know why.

The day in the life of room 15 was really awesome!

FLOX visit

On Wednesday the 11th May 2016 Poppy and Rose went and visited the New Zealand artist FLOX aka Hayley king.

 She was creating a mural on the side on the Hamilton library representing the Hamilton gardens.

She graduated from art school in 2003 then went on to complete a short business course. Before becoming an artist she was a professional squash player. 

She creates her own stencils by using card and cutting them out by using a surgery scalpel. Most of her artwork is nature inspired because she grew up in a small town surrounded by nature.

She tries to stay away from the colour black but loves the colour green because most things in nature are green. She uses her stencils and spray paint to create her masterpieces.

I am the balloon.

Floating murals of balloons in a misty blue sky.

Wandering where ever it pleases, fiery flames inside.

Racing toward the moon it feels like a rocket ship fiery and fast.

Glaring down there are billions of that feel like light bulbs.

Still, one stand a lone balloon lingering around in the air feeling light and airy.

Us all including myself, feel free and beautiful.Me as a balloon feels like an aeroplane gliding swiftly through the air.

How would you feel if you where a balloon floating through the air?

 Would you feel scared? Or would it be amazing to glide above everything??

A crisp hot day-tabloid sports

"NGATA NGATA!" roared my team. Salty sweat was dripping down my face, I was eager for a drink of water.

         I could see massive heat waves beating down on the school field, the green grass instantly turned into             dry crisp grass.

         The freshly mowed grass smell spread through the whole school but the worst smell was salty sweat.

         The rough grass burned under my feet, it felt like hot hard rocks.

I felt like melting ice cream on a hot summer's day, i was absolutely boiling!! 

     

My Time in Room 15

INTERESTING - Something interesting for me that has happened so far would have to be do our summer picture because I learnt new skills like how to draw layers on and in things.


CHALLENGING -Something challenging that has happen for me so far was trying to adapt to the freezing cold pool.The pool is so cold it is like Antarctica.Once you get in it starts to get warmer and then you jump under and it is still freezing cold but it is much warmer that it was when you hopped in.


LOOKING FORWARD TO- I am looking forward to swimming sports because i have been practising heaps and heaps.

                                                                                       

Swimming By Rose

At Swimming we have been learning how to do Breaststroke correctly.

First we warm up by doing fun games that Miss Wyllie leads out of the pool, then we have 40 seconds to hop into the freezing cold pool. Next we start doing our brilliant breast stroke legs then we start our arms.

After we complete our breaststroke for the day we jump out really quickly because it is so cold in the pool. Then we go and get changed in the changing rooms.

Todays Post is.....

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:
