Room 10 Dojo

This is room 10s dojo. we use this to keep track of our behavior. If we are good we get a point and if we are bad we get a point taken off. If by friday we have a positive dojo with no negatives we get a class treat.

Room10 Cave Drawing

Yesterday we hade a go at cave drawing. It was the earliest way to communicate, they drew stories about what they saw. This is Hamish  drawing his story about an animal. First we stained our paper to have a cave like effect. When they had dried we used charcoal to create a dark shadow.

EOTC

This it Janet Frame's typewriter it was fun to learn the history behind this piece of history behind the glass.

Gymnastics

Room 10 has been brushing up on their gymnastic skills today. Miss Rapson has also been getting involved and showing us how it's done. Today we practised our forward rolls and balancing. Here is Eila, Bronte, Petra and Emma-Kate showing their skills

Today in Room 10, we did four different modules, Music, NZ the facts, Electronics and French. This is Miss Christainsen teaching us about the first shipment of meat from Totara to Dunedin, then was sent over to Britain to be sold for up to 4 times the price that it was sold in New Zealand.

Electronics run wild

Today in Room 10  we had a go at morse code. Noisy but fun!

Sign Laungue

Today we had 12 students away, it was a very quiet day!!  Instead of making morse code machines, like we were going to we decided to learn some sign language.So we read a book on sign language then looked at some sign launguage videos on youtube. Here we are learning the basics. After we learnt the basics we decided to learn the National Anthem. The first time we practised we looked very funny but after a few tries we started to get the hang of it.  What a wonderful world was the next conquest... let's see what we can work on for our assembly item this term..  it could be an entertaining show.       

Making myths come alive!!

This afternoon in ICT we used Easi-Speaks to make Maori legends come alive.  We were focusing on Expression and Maori gods.  Here is the start of a Myth from Eila and Jesse.  Their myth was explaining why our Sun goes slowly across the sky and how Maui slowed it down.
