Solar Oven and Teamwork

Following the instructions, I made a solar oven with Shakaia, Katrina and Tyron. It was fun cutting the cardboard, folding the newspapers and covering the top with tin foil. It was a bit tricky cutting the square in the lid and taping the clingfilm to cover the hole in the lid.

Coming to school to learn

Alexandra

Hi, my name is Alexandra and I am a Year 6 student at Ruapotaka School. My teacher is Mrs Buchanan. I like coming to school to learn and my favourite subject is reading. My favourite book is The Twits by Roald Dahl. It is very funny. I also like playing sport.

At home I have two pets and my pets’ names are Alvin and Simon.  Alvin is a dog and Simon is a cat.

Broad beans and cress

We were learning about how plants grow and seeds sprout.  We grew cress and sprouted broad beans in class. We watched how water moves through plants by putting celery in coloured water.

This is how my cress and broad bean changed over time.

my fruit art

we have been learning about how a seed sprouts  I drew a picture of the inside of a rock melon to see its seeds.

Quality Blog Comments

Good afternoon I think this comment is a quality blog comment because I said something positive about it and I already know the name of the game and I know they had fun playing it.

Our snagit

This is the Snagit I made when I was working with Dakbai from Room 9.

Our movie Kotahitanga

My part of making our movie was making a letter A out of newspaper for the word Ruapotaka. My buddies to do this were Mary and Henry. We read the newspaper in the library and then we carried the letter A out onto the field. We played the Stan Walker song while we were making our movie. We sang the National Anthem part in class. I really enjoyed making Room 10's movie for the film festival. It was cool seeing it on the big screen but I wish there was popcorn and drinks. I also think the best movie I saw was Kotahitanga!
