I am poem

In Room 16 for writing we are doing poetry and we all wrote an " I am " poem. What we had to do was go through the whole " I am " process and turned out to write different poems. My one is about when I do dancing 

I am a brilliant ballet dancer

I wonder if I will ever be a professional dancer.

I hear pianos clinking hypnotizing melodies.

I see perfect arabesques and rapid pirouettes.

I am a brilliant ballet dancer

I pretend I dance a ballet solo in front of thousands.

I feel proud when I dance in front of people.

I touch silky netting of tutus made of red fabric.

I worry when I forget my dances.

I cry when I have a sore back but I

have to dance anyways.

I am a brilliant ballet dancer

I understand when Miss Rowley corrects my groups

arms and feet positions and dance technique.

I say if you can dream it you can do it.

I dream that the world will be a better place

in the future.

I try to improve my arabesques, grande jetés

and strengthening my arm positions.

I hope that I will see Brooke again.

I am a brilliant ballet dancer

Creature Alliteration poem

In Room 16 we did a creature alliteration poem. We all got to choose anything like an animal to make a creature. My one is about a Pandarian AKA Panda. Our Success Criteria was: Where it lived, using alliteration, what it liked to do and so on and so forth

This is a Pandarian

paintball and pole vaulting

CYBER SAFETY

For some time in room 16, we have been learning about cyber safety. We were sorted into groups and made a slideshow about it. We had 2 slides each excluding the title and the end screen. Madai, Paul, Gauri and I have made a slideshow to talk to you about cyber safety. Miss Leader helped our group for some topic ideas since we were behind. After all the work we finished and here is the slideshow.

My Mountain Biking Story

Mountain Biking!!!!!!!

Near the Hunua river, all around me I could see kaleidoscopic bikes, vibrant helmets, the river and lots of vile mud. While my activity group were trying to Ruth’s instructions, because the river water was rushing down the stream, we were filling up with excitement on the inside but I was also intrigued about learning how to put on a helmet PROPERLY FINALLY!!!!!!!! And at the same time I was talkative and courageous. I could still taste the breakfast that I had from that morning. Before I knew it I was peddling in the squelching mud behind Ruth following her on the track around tight corners and large puddles. After that I was leading everyone and all the others were following me. I was changing gears along the way, knowing which time to change the gears from 1 to 2 or vice versa. Everyone had mud all over them. Every time I rode down the track I could see trees in a parallel line and could hear people talking while riding which wasn’t to bad except that Phoebe fell off her bike. I was so puffed but we still had more to do. After the see-saw and bumps made out of wood. After that activity I was happy to know how to put a helmet on properly, knowing to watch my gears and the road and if I hear an odd noise, to move away from it. After I had aching muscles, was drinking water and trying not to fall asleep. It was the best biking experience I have ever had other than Flying Kiwi but that's another story.

My term 1 and 2 goals

MY GOALS!!!!!!!!!

By Ashlynn

1. I would like to learn my 6, 7, 8, 9 and 12 times tables so when I do a test I would know them right away.

I will do this by playing maths games with times tables like hit the button and sum dog.

2. I would like to improve my handwriting so Miss Leader wouldn’t write “ Messy! “ when I write.

I will do this by writing stories at home with my left hand until it looks neat and also to write with a steady hand instead of a shaky hand.

3. I would like to improve how I say some Te Reo Maori words like “ Oma, Paka, Huri “ and a couple more I cannot remember.

I will do this by finding a Maori website and with those words and practice and make flash cards

1 I would like to stop falling over outside of class.

I will do this by being aware of my surroundings and look where I go.

2. I would like to make more friends around the school.

I will do this by wandering around the school more often and finding people who have no one to play with.

Water Safety

On Monday in week 6 Julie from the Millennium for theory of water safety and we were going to the Millennium on the Wednesday. Finally that day arrived so we went to the Millennium for Water safety and we learnt the 3 ways of keeping safe with our life jackets with Diane and the 3 ways are: Making sure only 1 hand can fit through the bottom buckle if not you need to undo it and tighten it. If the arm holes fit around your ears you need another life jacket or refer to number 1. Also you should be able to float while you are wearing one. On to the actual swimming. First we did the huddle and the H.E.L.P position ( heat escape lessening position ). When we did the Help and huddle we scuba exited off a raft and most of us ( Tiana Michaela Leoni Emma ) were in the help position and when Diane blew the whistle that meant that we had to huddle around Michaelea. Here are some photos of me:

I was playing with the water with my feet so I was looking down.

Me with Michaela after we did some swimming. I love silly smiles

I am the 7th one down starting in the front

That was mostly it cause some of it I cannot remember. We all had great fun and I hope you enjoyed me explaining for like 2 minutes so BAI!!!

My first four weeks of term 1

Great start to the year called 2017. In Room 16 this year we have been doing multiple things that have been astounding! What we have done so far is : First Aid, Quick 5, Maths (Greedy Pig, Activities), Brain teasers Tri-hack-a-thon and many, many more!. For art we have done a piece called “ Sizzling Summer Scenes “ which is where we designed our holiday in a form of sunglasses . In First aid we learnt how to do CPR ( Cardiopulmonary resuscitation ), how to know if someone is dead or not, also if someone cut their hand so you could see the bone we learnt this : P S L W ( Plug Squeeze Lift Wrap ) . I WAS SICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I missed out on 2 days of school which is when we did science : (. One Friday I did FFF ( Fun food Friday )  and sold juicies with Eliza. In maths we did something called figure me out and Ryan C got my sheet. Here are some photos:

       

My group singing to help Emily          Tiana doing mouth to mouth                                                                                     

 

Mine is in the corner                             I was away on that day

So continuing on that subject I tried out to be a house leader but I didn’t get to be one. So I took more risks and got lots of opportunities

Oh shoot Miss Leader’s coming, Gotta go!!!!!!!!!!!!

2017 is the best year ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
