Room 6 Futsal

By Jasper and Luca

Every Tuesday and Thursday lunchtime we play Futsal.  Futsal is like soccer but there are only kick ins and no throw ins. We play for 12 minutes each game. We think its fun because it is like a new sport.
Room 6 started with two teams, one was the Soldiers and the other was the Swans. The Soldiers lost to Room 7 so they are out of the tournament but the Swans are still in. Once when we were playing the Swans won by one point. Our class likes to watch the games.

There are some photos of the games here.

We scored three goals in this game.

Our library visit

Last week Room 6 went to the Stoke Library.  We walked in partners there. Some people brought their own library card and took out some books, and some didn't.  The librarian read us a book called "A Grandma like that".  It was about a girl who had a witch grandma. The whole class laughed at the story. The librarian told us the rules as well. It was really really fun going to the library. Then we went back to school.

My group making the horse sting bug

We took a picture of 3 Room 6 bugs!

We went outside and saw all the bugs

Room 6 bugs!

On Monday we dressed up as bugs. My group was a horse stinger bug. We used green, red and black paper to make our bug. We rolled paper to make antennae. Keegan dressed up as the bug in our group.  He really looked like a bug! The whole middle syndicate dressed up as bugs as well and then we went outside.  We had a fashion parade and Room 12 came to watch us. Some of the bugs were amazing. I felt very happy making the bug and watching the parade. The best bit was looking at all the different bugs.  

Being Nervous!

Tonight, I was feeling nervous! This was because I was reading out to everyone about climate change (that's the same thing as global warming). At school it was a night for celebrating Maori and Pasifika cultures, and for parents to see what we have been doing in class. After we shared our learning, we had Krabby Patties (hamburgers!) for tea, aaaaand delicious icecream for pudding. My friend Stella-RosE was also there, and she talked about the no power day that her class made. Even though I felt nervous, I still stood up and did it. And then, I felt really proud of myself. And my little sister Alana said it was funny.

Last week the whole middle syndicate went to the swimming races. I liked it because we got to do overarm (Jay). I liked it because we got to do the mad-dash and that was fun (Lucy). We have put some photos on our blog - here they are below. The photos are of our relay team and we were two people in the relay team. Our favourite part of the swimming races was the relays because we got to race the other middle syndicate classes.

Global Warming Topic

In Room 6 we've been learning all about global warming and carbon footprints! What does all that mean? Well, you could check out these websites that we explored to find out some information:

http://globalwarmingkids.net/

and

http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/kids/index.html

Also - we are making our very own website with all of the information that we have learned so far. It's called a wiki, which is a site where you can share what you know, and anybody can read it to learn as well. We wanted to do this so that other people can learn about global warming too, and try to find out ways that they can REDUCE their carbon footprint. When it is finished we will tell you the website address.
