Room 11 Making Goosebumps

Ruapotaka classes have made book studies based on a writer and his/her books to be presented on the library walls. From Ronald Dahl to Geronimo Stilton from classes we wanted our book study to be different so that's why we choose R.L Stine and his imaginative Goosebumps book. Thursday, Friday, Monday were planning days then, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday we designed our project. We couldn't be any more proud of what Room 11 students accomplished as a team.

 

Homemade Laptop

Term 4 has been different to other terms. Different writing structures, different topics for reading and different models for art. For art senior classes played with modeling clay to make varieties of items. And when it was room 11's turn to play with clay our models were based on our inquiry topic 'digital citizenship'. Most students in my class decided to make phones but I decided to be different and make a LAPTOP.

Touch Rugby

As a treat for a hard working year we have had Trevor from the Touch Rugby club in to teach us some skills. Trevor has taught years 5-8 multiple skills to use in a game of touch rugby. After learning the proper way to play a full game of touch rugby, today was finally the day we got a chance to play real touch. The boys and girls were split up into two teams, so the boys decide to play first head to head. 10 minutes later the boys took a rest while we finally got to play. We didn't win but at the end of the day I’m happy to know that I know some good Touch Rugby skills.

Adele

Grammy-Award winning Adele was originally born in England. During school Adele used 3 of her own tracks as a class project and that’s when publicity hit her. After a successful career had started Adele had a baby and took time off to look after her new baby boy! For me Adele was a childhood classic! Every morning my siblings and I would have her on replay. We’d sing along even though we would always sound flat.

Pray For Paris!

The World stood as one, as the devastating attack in Paris happened. Referring as the 'City of Light' Paris was under attack by the Isis tourist. Supporters from around the world paid respect by lighting up lights and candles in the colors of red, blue and white. And even our very own Sky Tower. Many people lost their lives and families. I offer my love and support to Parisian that died and the Parisian starting a new life.

Garden Upgrade

Thanks to the Tamaki College students that have taken out the old plants in our garden it's time for a upgrade.  

If there’s any flower that should be planted it should be the Acacia plant. This plant represent peace, love and beauty.  In situations of getting bullied students can walk past this flower and remember that we’re all beautiful in our own way. It commemorates the peace that should be kept in school.

Emoji Now On Keyboards.

Emoji's are popular on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram to reply one word answers or express your feelings. It's normally downloaded into your keyboard or automatically there but imagine emoji's were on keyboards. EmojiWorks the brains between this idea and made the original icons have made keyboard with traditionally numbers, symbols and letters in assorted place but with added emojis. I love this idea but imagine you were texting your mum and you accidentally write something nasty due to the distraction of the emojis.
