The adventure of the spaceship called iss enterprise……….

Once upon a time in a galaxy far far away there was a man captain Kurk who was an explorer. He went to space with his crew on the space ship called iss enterprise.

When he got to space captain Kurk was spinning on his shamazing chair with his cool eyes closed.

1 minute later he heard a rumbling noise and then BANG he fell face first into the hardest floor you can ever imagine. Captain Kurk’s crew chief Checkof yelled “ captain our engines and power are down we cant breath without the power.

Later on Kurks crew were dying and he almost died because you cant breath in space without power. So Kurk went to the power and engines room and repaired the power and the engines but they still had to land the ship. Whew. They landed the ship!!!!!!!!!!!

He’s a hero because he landed the ship, saved the day and most of all he saved his crew.

Going to A Party by Aaliyah Davidson

Going to a Party

On Sunday we went to a birthday party the person was turning 15 years old.  When they were asleep at 10 o’clock we went to Queens Park.  We saw some pigs, red ear turtles and a dear.  There were two female dear and one male dear.  The antlers on the male dear were big and they looked like wood from a tree.

After looking at the dear we went to the bird aviary and we went to look at the cockatoo.  He says exactly what you say.  We said,

“Hello pretty boy” and he copied us.  When we walked away he said,

“Where are you going to?” and I replied

“We are going to look at some more birds.”

We went into a big place and there were green, red and orange birds.

Then we went home and when we arrived we had our lunch.  My lunch was 3 mousetraps and I shared a big packet of noodles with Jack and it was YUM!  It was a fun day because we got to see lots of different animals.  I really want to go back sometime soon to see the red ear turtles.

Samoan Song

Fogatia ua liligo a song for us to listen to for our inquiry Colour My World...

Samoan Sasa

We have begun to learn more about the cultures that Colour Our World.  

Today we had Eddie who is a visitor to our class.  He is teaching Michael the drum beat, Lane, Henare and Simba 3 of the sasa actions.  We were all impressed with what they learnt in the first hour of being introduced to the sasa.

Michael felt excited because he hadn't learnt how to drum the sasa beat before.

Lane found it hard to learn the actions but with practice he eventually got it right.

Henare felt amazed because he learnt more about the Samoan Culture.

Simba said "It felt awesome to drum and do the actions."

Room12 Speeches

Custom Glitter Text
On Monday the 10th of June 2013 Room12 completed speeches with the whole class, we had to stand in front of the video camera so the teacher could video it.

When everyone shared there speech five people got chosen to do it again so the people that got chosen were Sapphire, Michael, Lane, Ella and Gabrielle and we all had to choose a star that had numbers on them.

The first person who went was me  and I sang a song so did Michael then the rest of the people went next but it went Lane second, Ella third, Michael fourth and Gabrielle last we all had different times from the start.

When I did my speech I was nervous and I was shivering because it was hard doing it in front of people but I still did it and the other people would have been nervous too.

When we completed them I really wanted it over and done with!

Nutritionist Visit

Learning About Nutrition

On Tuesday Room 12 went to New World to look at Nutrition tables and check out the nutrition guidelines to see how healthy they really are with Marewa the Nutritionist.

First we all walked over to the Interview room in the Office and it was as clean as a whistle inside the interview room and then the first group Tahi went and the rest of us played I spy.

Next Mrs Dallas came back to pick my group up Toru and another group Rima. When we got to the supermarket we were each given a sheet to record our findings on.

Then my group split into two groups. It was the Boys in one group; Henare, Mason and I and a Girl group; Ella and Iliili.  My group started with Snacks and we chose Whole Grain Crackers for our Healthy Snack and Round Wine Biscuits for our Occasional Snack.

Next we found the nutritional information for Bread, Milk and Dairy Products, Drinks and Breakfast Cereals.

Finally we were all finished and my group was finished first. Once we were all sitting on the Window Sill we each got given a green Lunch Box with fruit on the top sticker and our own class also got a $60 coupon for a healthy lunch.

It was really fun going through the supermarket and learning about nutrition, nutrition tables and guidelines.  Most of all I hope I get to learn more about nutrition, because I enjoy it.

 

On Monday we learnt about the food pyramid in class
