Shane, our teacher

Shane has been teaching us a lot about science and it has been fun. He has taught us how to make these helicopters and we got to modify them. I modified mine by adding more paper clips to make it heavier so it would go down faster. It did go down faster. We have been having fun doing this.

Science

In room 21 we are doing some science experiments about making helicopters. We are testing our control helicopters first and then we are testing our modified ones. I changed mine by making it bigger. I was trying to prove that by making it bigger it would go slower. It did go slower.

assembly

This week we did our assembly. We were allowed to dress up as what we want to be when we grow up. I dressed up as a race car driver. I was also in the video about being a Dream Maker.

Assembly

On Friday we sang a song for our assembly with room 3. We had to dress up as something you want to be when you grow up. I dressed up as myself because I wanted to be me.

Smacking

If an adult has smacked a child, if they have been naughty, then they might be hit harder than the adult thought and the child might scream so loud that the neighbours might think they are in dangered. If that happens then the police might come for no reason. The the police will tell the parents off and then they will explain what was happening and the police will say it is not OK to hit.

Smacking kids

Smacking is like doing a robbery because people get hurt when they are robbed and thats the same as getting hurt when you hurt someones feelings. Its kid of like bullying and it is pretty mean. If you smack your friend then they don't want to be your friend anymore. If you hit somebody you don't know then that is against the law.

Making flies

When the class did a book we decided to make some pictures about it. We had to cut different coloured strips of paper and we had to cut them out and glue them on in different shapes on the paper. We got to use vivid on one part and we drew eye balls on it. Everyone was making a fly and after we made one we got to stick it on a piece of paper and then we got make one that was a pop up.

The Assembly

On Friday the 31st of July, we did our assembly and our buddies were there as well. My Buddy is Sophie and we did a song called "When I Grow Up". It was really fun. My little sister, Gretle, was dancing on my mum's knee! I really enjoyed it and we had to wear costumes and i was a singer.

The assembly

Room 21 and 3's assembly was about being a Dream Maker. We sang a song called, "When I Grow Up". It was a full assembly and we learnt a new song.

The assembly

On Friday we had our assembly and we did a song called, "When I Grow Up". I dressed up as a singer and I looked like Ella's twin because we were wearing the same top and jacket. Nearly my whole family was there, except Dad, (who was working) and my Nan and Granddad because they are in Auckland

Smacking

I don;t think smacking should be allowed because even if a child did something by accident and they didn't know it was wrong they might still get a smack and then they would get scared. Parents might not know how hard they are hitting. They might think they are just giving a tap but it is actually hurting their child.

The assembly

I dressed up as a highland dancer and my mum said she wasn't going to be at the assembly, but at the end she turned up. I think she watched some of it. I really enjoyed it.

The assembly

Today at the assembly we sung a song called "When I Grow Up". The song, "When I Grow Up" is really cool because it tells you some things you can do when you grow up. I dressed up as myself because when you grow up you don;t have to have a job you can just be yourself.

Assembly

Our song was fun because it was about when you grow up and what you wanted to be. Stella was a speaker with Alex, Max and Maddie, (They are from our buddy class!).

Smacking

Smacking should still be against the law because it can really hurt sometimes. Sometimes, once you have been smacked, you get really furious with your Mum and Dad and then you feel like you don't want to see them for the rest of the day.

Assembly

I was a speaker in the assembly today with Alex, Max and Maddie. We did a song called, "When I grow up" and I dressed up as myself because I am a hero to myself! I liked the song because when I grow up I actually want to be me!

Assembly

At assembly, I was a speaker! I had to be still and sit on a chair holding a microphone and say my highlighted lines after the other three spoke. In assembly I dressed up as "Me" because we dressed as part of our song.

Our Science experiments

We are doing science in room 21 about gravity. We are modifying some helicopters and keeping others as controls. I modified my helicopter by cutting half of the wings off and sticking those on the helicopter to make more propellers. My ideas to try and make the helicopter go faster. It worked!

Our assembly

We had to dress up. We sung a song called "When I grow up". I think it was really good because I thought we did quite a lot of practicing and it sounded really nice.

Our Assembly

We had our assembly. I thought it was really cool because we sang a really really good and it taught us that you can be whatever you want to be. We got to wear costumes and I got to be a scientist.

Assembly

I was sitting next to Phoebe in assembly today. We were singing a song. I think it was a good song. We were singing loudly.

Smacking kids

I don't like smacking somebody. Because I think it would hurt.

our hero dress up day

We have been immersing ourselves in all aspects of being a hero! On Tuesday we got to dress up as our favourite here. Have a look at this slideshow and see who you can see!
