Saving the world with Duffy

WHAT AN ADVENTURE!

Duffy took us on a journey with Global Girl and it was full of fun, learning and EXPLOSIONS!

Duffy was very lucky to receive his very own cape. What an honor! Of course if you save the world like Global Girl you're going to need an awesome cape.

Remember the science experiment! Live experiments that showed us an explosion in seconds.

A lot of us were just learning abut how we affected the world we live in.

Including how we affect the beautiful moana that surrounds our lands.

Duffy definitely showed us how we affect our living world. We learned that courage with reading benefitted Global Girl and helped her on her mission to save the world.

Swimming in the cool water

We have kick started swimming and the weather has been awesome!

Practicing our swimming skills has been challenging but has also reminded us of how much we need to improve. This is going to be very useful when we swim in the holiday with our families.

A new class with new goals

We are back! It has been an awesome start to the term. We have settled in to our new class and created a class treaty that we are all trying to abide. We have set personal and class goals and we look forward to reflecting on them at the end of the term. We can't wait to share what we are learning with you. As the new year 6 class we hope to share more detailed and interesting work.

A special day at Ruapotaka

Ruapotaka was very fortunate to have a special St Kent's day dedicated to learning and fun. We had different activities where we practiced or learn new skills.

 Here is a group playing soccer.

Another group in the music room learning and listening to music.

We had a sausage sizzle and talked to most of the students from St Kents. It was a lot of fun.

Faster Internet by Malia

                                   I have created an image note to share if we have free internet we can learn everyday and we will be smart when we grow up like our parents or like people that inspire us.

Cybersmart Comment by Liza

We have been learning how to write quality blog comments for the Manaiakalani Film Festival.

A fantastic film festival

Room 9 was very fortunate to attend the 2016 film festival. We got comfortable red seats in front of the gigantic extreme screen at Sylvia Park. It was so exciting! Sitting in our seats, it hit 1pm and the lights went dim. Who was presenting first? Mrs. Grant! Our cybersmart teacher... She was just talking about the film festival. Anyway, we watched films from Glen Innes Primary, Tamaki College and Te Kura Kaupapa Puau. Created by students and shared with the world. It was awesome to see that room 9 can create something to go on the big screen as well. Well done Ruapotaka for the awesome films!

Walking the famous red carpet. We had to take a photo near on the carpet all the famous directors and actors walk on. 

Ready to watch the awesome manaiakalani films. Our big red comfortable seats. We were ready for an hour of awesome films, especially the ones created by Ruapotaka. It was great to see our friends.

An awesome display created by Mrs. Buchanan and her helpers. Right in the middle of the theater.
