3d shapes

In Room 5, we have been learning about nets and 3d shapes. We made 3d shapes by cutting and folding pieces of paper. There were so many shapes to choose from but I picked a triangular prism,  square-based pyramid. Before we folded it into the shape we could decorate them. All of us had to make two. This is what my two look like : 

Wind Haiku

This morning in Room 5, we made three haikus about whatever we wanted. My three were about School, Maths, and Wind. After we finished all three we could choose one of the haikus that we thought was the best and made it pretty. The haiku that I chose was the wind one. This is what mine looks like:

The Sun

Throughout this term, Room 5 has been working on the success criteria for poetry. Today we have been making sentences about the sun, they had to have sun-like objects, -ing verbs and Adjectives. These are my sentences. The sun is an oven sizzling brightly. The sun is a gold coin spying and blazing. The sun is a fireball boiling and sunny. The sun is a lemon Gleaming and bright. The sun is a ball shining and round. The sun is a light bulb glowing yellow.

Our Assembly

Last week on Friday Room 5 performed an assembly for the whole school. Our assembly was about stereotypes and to not judge others. We did a play about it as well, one of the situations was when a girl wanted to play soccer with the boys but the boys said that netball was for girls and soccer was for boys but the girl proved him wrong and showed the boys that she was really good at playing soccer. We also did a song to Individuality. Here are some photos of our assembly:

Marae Trip

Today the whole school went to the Unitec Marae. Once we got the Marae we walked slowly to the wharenui while Whaea Linda and Whaea Jess welcomed us to the Marae. When we got there Papa Hau told us some stories about the carvings on the wall. At the end, the Year 5 and 6 boys did an amazing, powerful haka. It was so much fun!

Fair Project

This term in Good Shepherd School all of the classes have worked on something to sell at the fair. In Room 5 we have split up into groups to make a product of our own in a group. In my group is Kayano, Lucy, Annika, Soeun and I. Our product that we are going to sell is sherbet, we chose sherbet because it is easy to make and very delicious. Also, every group had to make a logo for our product and this is what ours it looks like.

Water Filter Experiment

In Room 5 we did a fun science experiment. In the experiment, we had to filter some really dirty water. There were compost, newspaper and oil in the dirty water. To filter the water we could use some of these, cotton balls, sand, paper towels and bark. Lucy and I got not the cleanest but cleaner than others. Whoever got the cleanest water would win 5 dojo points. This was so much fun here is what mine looks like: 

Descriptive Writing

In Room 5 we did descriptive writing on a picture of our choice, all of the pictures were all based on winter. Here is mine: 


Walking through the crunchy snow while the wailing wind blows. The crisp and fresh snow falls gracefully down to the streets pathways. The bare trees dance while snow lands on them. I pull my woolly jacket around me to keep me warm as the snow is munchy behind me as I walk. I look across my shoulders and see my faint footsteps behind me. The train's lights flash at me while it zooms past. I love the feeling of the chilly wind blowing on you when walking outside. I love winter.
