Maths

In room 12 we've been learning a lot of maths.  In my group, Porohita (Circle), we've been learning to solve problems like 23+__=71 by jumping a tidy number and then jumping back a small number in a number line.

example: 46+__=92 we go 46 +10 until we get to 96 so the number of jumps we made was 50.  We have to take away 4 from 96 so that will equal 92 then take away 4 in 50 and that  equals 46 so 46+46=92 and thats what we've been learrning at maths.

Remembrance

In Room 12 we've been learning about ANZAC. Mrs.Parkinson give us a sheet the tittle was Gallipoli Slang, we had to find what the words means in the sheet and if we don't know what the word means we have to guest and here is some of the words.

Room 12 Assembly

In Room 12, 25th of May we had our assembly it was about remembrance, we had a play and I was with Arzoo,Temple,Zahle,Raniera,Corban, and Usman in Training in Egypt. We had two Sargent's and it was Arzoo and Corban and the rest of us was doing a mini course with the Sargent's telling us what to do. I think all of us did a great job because we all worked hard and tried our best. In the end we had a treat from Mrs.Parkinson and Miss Ford for doing a great job in our assembly.

The Swimming Sports

On Thursday 8th March we had our swimming sports and it was so exciting because all of the seniors were supporting their teams. We got there by bus, we went to the park beside the pools and then went swimming. The House colours are Rutherford, Hillary, Batten, Ngata and I am in Rutherford. My team members are Emily, Temple, Tia, Corban, Melissa and me. It was so fun because everybody was cheering and shouting for their teams and we got to do a song and every house colour has a house captain. We have Emily for Rutherford and she made this really cool song and it goes like this "Ngata Ngata in the bin Hillary Hillary further Batten Batten on the top here comes Rutherford squash you lot GO RUTHERFORD". So what did I do on swimming sport day? I did Backstroke length and I came 4th and freestyle widths and I came 5th. After all the children finished swimming we did the class relay team's and we WON. I was really proud of Room 12. After that we had to race the parents and we won too " YAY " . That's what happened in swimming sports day.

showing room 4 the solar panels around the school

On Thursday the 10th we walked around the school with our buddy's to show where the solar panels in our school are. They are on the library and the RTLB office. We explained why we need solar panels and I explained to my buddy that we have solar panels so we can get electricity and solar panels get energy from the sun.
