Levi, Kashya, Shalom and Jordenne had a fun day filming and editing this short clip with Mr Doubleday.

Our Trip to Cornwall Park

2011-11-15T10:46:00.001+13:00

Room 13 went on a trip to Cornwall Park to go to Auckland's Stardome. It was a beautiful day so we decided to climb One Tree Hill as well. The fun began when we tried to get back down again!
To recount our trip we have written 50 word stories. It was heaps harder than we thought it would be, just writing 50 words to tell a whole story was tricky.

‘
‘What! we have to walk all the way to the top. Thirsty,tired,hot and grumpy. why did I leave my shoes at school? finally we had made it. Time for a rest . Looking out at Auckland, it seemed so small. Rolling,flipping sliding we tumbled into the crater. “Ouch!” - Isiah

Shaking, I stood up. Laughter echoed around the crater. “Be quiet”, I muttered. Running down a hill, landing on my head and doing a flip. Was that a pleasant way to spend the trip? No it wasn’t. I brushed myself off and stomped towards the tree to relax in peace. - Thea

Walking to the top of the mountain, I whispered “Am I almost there?”. So thirsty. Quickly running and feeling the wind as it blew my hair. “FREEDOM!!!”. Relaxed and calm, a cool breeze. Looking out into the clouds, the view was spectacular. Running down the hill I nearly fell over. - Gloria

Net+Learning = Nearning

Room 13's entry into the Manaiakalani Film Festival for 2011.
What started as a Mockumentary, quickly turned into a crazy music video - strange unpredictable things often happen in Room 13! But we make sure to always have a good time - no matter what happens!
Levi, Rocky and Uili really made this movie with their amazing dance moves and fabulous outfit choices!

You Can't Touch This

2011-10-31T09:50:00.001+13:00

Room thirteen kicked off the term making a fun lip sync movie with our friends at Bairds Mainfreight Primary School. It was crazy fun dressing up and learning the words. Even our teachers joined in.

Richie McCaw

2011-10-08T13:36:00.001+13:00

Many kiwis know exactly who Richie McCaw is and perhaps, even regard him as one of the best All Black captains of all time. Do you know much about him?
Room 13 have undertaken some research and used their imaginations to create some cool movies all about Mr Richard McCaw.

Ezra and Noah Guest Post

2011-09-15T17:51:00.002+12:00

Room 13 were very lucky to have Noah and Ezra come and share their stories with us today. Both boys have older siblings in our class and Miss King reckons that these little guys can teach the bigger ones a thing or two!
We all loved their stories so much that we decided to have them guest post on our blog. Make sure to click on their names to see their work from room 4.

When I was gone I was sick in bed! When I got out of
bed I played with Toby.
I think the Colcannon Room 4 made would be remarkable, amazing and magnificent. It is an Irish dish of mashed potato, spring onions, chinese cabbage, salt, pepper and butter.
I was sad because I wanted to have some Colcannon…

By Noah, Room 4.

Yesterday Room 4 went to the staffroom and we created Colcannon. It was irresistible! The best bit was eating the Colcannon!

The ingredients are spring onions, chinese cabbage, potatoes, salt, pepper and butter. The equipment is a pot of boiling water, a stove, a bowl and a masher.

Colcannon is an Irish dish of mashed potato. It smells splendidly spectacular!

The Colcannon was very, very, very tasty and delicious. I loved it! I tasted the cabbage and onions blended into the mashed potato.

By Ezra, Room 4.

Rugby World Cup - Where were you?

2011-09-14T19:41:00.002+12:00

Room 13 have been learning how to understand other's point of view. We thought that people experienced the Rugby World Cup Opening Ceremony in such different ways, that it would be a great idea to explore further.
Within our class we found seven different ways that we spent last Friday night. We wrote about each idea in a group, illustrated it and then acted it all for the camera.
On the wall outside outside our classroom you can bring your QR reader and watch all the movies - or simply click the photo below to watch all of them!
Some creative license may have been involved!

Gotta Share

2011-08-26T15:10:00.000+12:00

Thanks "Improv Everywhere" we just loved your musical theatre and wanted to try our own. So, one silly Friday afternoon Room 13 had a go themselves.

The Origins of Rugby

2011-08-10T10:49:00.003+12:00

Legend says that William Webb Ellis picked up a football and ran with it during a game at Rugby School in England in 1823.Here's Room 13's recreation of that historic day.

Day One Term Three

2011-08-01T15:48:00.002+12:00

The HIstory of War Planes

2011-07-08T15:35:00.001+12:00

A small group of students used Hyperstudio to show a little about what they have been learning all about war planes.

Our Trip to MOTAT

2011-07-07T15:31:00.000+12:00

Room 13 went to MOTAT and had the most amazing day!

Talk About IT!

2011-06-27T15:04:00.001+12:00

Mr Max Jacobsen wrote this song to help us all remember to look after each other and to make sure that we always know someone is there for us to talk to.

Room 13 loves his song so much we made a few animations in Hyperstudio to go along with it.

What I Am?

2011-06-20T13:40:00.001+12:00

A just for fun movie, made just for fun!

Using Speech Marks

2011-06-14T10:54:00.003+12:00

We have been working hard on when to use speech marks in our writing. We watched the final scene from Back to the Future 1 and described the scene, making sure to add in speech.

Here's Gloria's very cool story.

Screeching wheels were heard as the Delorean backed out from the drive way. Crammed inside was Marty and his girlfriend Jennifer, plus the mad scientist-Doc. “Hey Doc, we better back up, we don’t have enough road to get to 88” said Marty who was frightened. Jennifer just sat there frozen no clue of what had happened, she was really confused. Adjusting his shiny sliver glasses, Doc argued “Roads, where we’re going we don’t need roads”. Flying off in a big burst of fire, taking them to another adventure.

Taking off in a big ball of fire, Jennifer begged “YOU GUYS ARE CRAZY!!!! I WANT TO GO HOME!”. She felt very unsafe and frightened. Marty listened to Jennifer and tried to comfort her. Doc gave out a big mysterious laugh and said “Don’t worry, I have never failed before”. Landing, Jennifer was relieved that they had survived the return to the future.

Don't Forget Your Roots

2011-05-27T11:51:00.001+12:00

Sentence Beginnings

2011-05-18T09:54:00.003+12:00

In our classroom we are learning about the features of an effective paragraph. One of the most important features is making sure that your sentences have a variety of beginnings.
We read Toreka's story called "What an Ambush" and then highlighted all the beginnings of her sentences. We have put those beginnings into Wordle.net to give us an idea of the variety that she used.

Games with a Thousands Board

2011-05-06T11:49:00.002+12:00

Have you ever wondered how to practice adding 10s and 1s up to 1000? In our class we play a game to try and trick our friends. See if you can figure out how to play?

Building Straw Towers

2011-05-02T13:16:00.002+12:00

75 straws and a roll of tape, do you think you could build a tall tower with those materials? This was our challenge for our first morning of Bigger, Better, Faster, Stronger. Our new topic is all about improving things and making them even more awesome.
We started off quite unsure of where things would head, but with communication, thought and creativity we managed to make, well, something at least.

The World's Greatest

2011-04-15T13:42:00.002+12:00

We love singing R-Kelly's song - "World's Greatest" at our school. Many many years ago we even had some school actions to match.

Miss King decided that the new crew of Pt Englanders needed to learn the moves too.

Glee Performance

2011-04-11T08:11:00.003+12:00

Glee Performance from Team 4 Pes on Vimeo.

Last Friday our amazing Glee group performed for our school assembly. They had been practicing for the last 8 weeks after school on a Thursday, and we could tell that so much effort and energy had gone into this performance. Thanks Miss M and Miss Lavakula for some awesome entertainment!

How Many to Add to 10?

2011-04-05T12:43:00.001+12:00

We are the Triangles group and we have been learning to add to 10. We have gotten so good at it that we even made this movie to show you how proud we are of what we can do now!

Cool Maths Strategy

2011-03-28T20:38:00.004+13:00

Today we decided to experiment with I Can Animate and show off a really cool subtraction strategy called Equal Addition. Making movies like this one helps us think a bit more about each strategy and when we might use it. Stay tuned for more just like it.

Movie For Christchurch

2011-03-01T12:44:00.003+13:00

Levi came up with the idea of making a movie to show our support for Christchurch after the earthquake. We wanted to show our love and support as well as hopefully inject a wee bit of humour.
This is for you Christchurch

Letter to Christchurch

2011-02-24T19:28:00.004+13:00

Dear Christchurch

I hope you are all right and I offer you my support and love and my heart. I hope you find all the people who are missing. I feel so sorry for what you are going through I hope you can carry on with your families. I am very sorry that your loved ones have died in this horrible event.

Love Jabez

Dear Christchurch, I hope you are all right and I know that you can find your loved ones. Don’t worry because a lot of people from around the world are going to help all of you.

All our love, Uili

Dear Christchurch, we are sorry that you have lost your hope and your family. We are all feeling so sad that your houses are all broken down. Carry on, don’t give up you can do it. We are worried about your family too. Keep it up Christchurch. Keep your heart warm and safe. Be safe and be happy that some one will come and save your heart. Don’t cry we are here with you.

Dear Christchurch

I am sorry about the earthquake that hit your city and damaged all of your lovely buildings. I wish I could be there to help find the people or look after people who need a friend.

Carry on and don't lose hope in what you know. Try to feel happy about every move you make, don’t feel too down, feel happy.

We love you, from Lesieli

Christchurch Earthquake

2011-02-24T19:16:00.003+13:00

Tuesday 22 February 2011 will forever be etched in the minds of many New Zealanders as the day our hearts broke. A 6.3 magnitude earthquake rattled Christchurch during a busy lunchtime, trapping people in cars and buildings and choking the city with dust and smoke.

Despite the loss of many historical buildings, Christchurch remains hopeful that they can rebuild. What isn't so easy to come to terms with is the loss of life, this time it is significant. As we listen today to the list of the dead and missing, we realise the true human face to tragedy.

What is heartwarming, are the stories of humanity - strangers helping each other, sharing and supporting. Kia Kaha New Zealand.

Our thoughts and wishes are with all the people of Christchurch and their relatives and friends.

Netbook Day

2011-02-11T20:07:00.003+13:00

Netbook Day was AWESOME!

Mrs Burt has worked so hard to make this happen for us and we are so thankful for her extra help, that meant we were able to experience this amazing event. Thank you Mrs Burt.

Each of us opened our box and found a beautiful, shiny new netbook nestled inside! We did a space launch type countdown to usher in a simultaneous "power on". The ooohhhss and aaaahhhhss could be heard throughout the school - and we gathered quite an audience!

What a super experience for us all, and we can't wait to get cranking with our OWN netbooks, first thing on Monday morning! Sure fire cure for Mondayitis!

Tomorrow is the day!

2011-02-10T18:04:00.002+13:00

So it is nearly here, the day that we have been waiting for now, for over a year! That's right, tomorrow Room 13 will get their netbooks! We will have video and photos to share with you to show off exactly what went on.

First off, Mrs Burt is going to talk to us all about how to take care of our netbook, how to log in and all the special things that we need to know to make sure our netbook is an amazing tool for learning! After we have signed our agreement, that says we promise to look after netbooks and use them for some choice learning, we will get a chance to look around and play with our OWN netbook before it has to be put away for charging.

I'm not even getting a netbook tomorrow, but I sure am excited for what is about to happen to the learning in room 13!

BRING IT ON!

Day 1 in Room 13!

2011-02-07T15:11:00.005+13:00

We've started the year with a hiss and a roar in Room 13. (Yep, we need to change our blog name)

Here we are - looking all gorgeous.

We had two main activities for today.

1. Learn about quality blog commenting and

2. Learn our google name!

Here we are reciting our new Google names that are really tricky to remember.

my Reflection 2010

2011-01-08T11:47:00.009+13:00

This year we have a cool time and sometime we have to go to play game and my favourite sports is rugby and I have enjoyed going out playing game and my favourite thing about year 5 being cool and bad. When I first came to Pt England school I didn't know how to write much on 28 of July and now I can write some stories on my own now.

My 2010 reflection

2011-01-06T09:13:00.000+13:00

What i have enjoyed this year was going on trip to one tree hill because we got to touch lava rock’s from the volcanoes. This year what I enjoyed learning the most was camp because we got to paddle in the canoe at the Pt England reserve. I would of liked to do more of sport’s and writing, maths, reading and fun games outside. I have liked learning how to get better at writing because i use to suck at writing. What I want to work harder at is maths because I forget my time tables.
My best memories from this year are athletics day and capture the flag because they remind me of the time we played midnight. My goal’s for next year are to go up more levels on my writing and maths. The way like working is by talking in a group to get good ideas. The thing that improved on is reading because i moved up a couple of levels.

My 2010 reflection

2011-01-03T09:10:00.002+13:00

This year I have enjoyed doing arts and crafts and going on trips.I have enjoyed learning how to put sentences in their right places full stops and capital letters.Iwish i could do more animation movie making and swimming.I think I could have worked harder in putting more infomation interesting facts. My best memories for this year was doing my bee animation and making songs.Next year my goal is to put full stops in the right places and capital letters after a fullstop.The best way to learn for me is to keep practincing and trying my best to get it doneImproving the most for me was doing my song with my partner and animation with my little critter.

My 2010 Reflection

2011-01-02T09:51:00.000+13:00

What have I enjoyed doing is playing games I played Touch my friends.What have I enjoyed learning the most is maths and reading . Which things would I have liked to have done more of reading and learning. What have I liked learning it is maths and reading.The end

Mary V 2010 Reflection

2011-01-01T11:47:00.002+13:00

Being a year 5 and learning as a year 5 is fun and has made me learn much more about some of the subjects. We have been on lots of trips and adventures but most of all, we have been having our own google apps with our own user name and password . That is my favourite part of all!

While having our own google apps we have been learning about our topic which is little critters. I love learning about little critters because critters are easy to explain for me. The only critter that I have learned more about is Honey bees. I have bees, write about bees, read about bees and sang a song about bees.

I could have worked harder at doing maths work sheets because maths is my hardest subject except for time tables, pluses and subtractions. My only goal is to pass university and become a doctor. Next year I want to be the number one at maths.

Caroline's 2010 refletion

2011-01-01T09:42:00.000+13:00

Our Year in Review

2010-12-22T18:59:00.002+13:00

This video highlights all the very AWESOME things that Room 14 got up to in 2010.

Year 5 was an amazing year. We excelled in so many things and made great improvements in our writing, reading and maths. Most of all, we loved school and enjoyed our learning and time together.

On the second to last day of school we all packed up our classrooms ready for the big move to our new room - the whole school shifted. This review begins with the end and eventually brings to you nearly everything we did during 2010.

Here's to us being amazing for the rest of our lives and achieving our dreams.

Senior Prizegiving - Girl's Item

2010-12-18T09:07:00.001+13:00

On Thursday 9th December the seniors had their prizegiving. We all had to perform to our parents and other kids. Before we performed, Mr Burt gave out certificates and even some trophies for the students who came 1st, 2nd or 3rd in Year 5.

Our dance is performed to the song "Night of Your Life" by J Williams. He's a New Zealand singer and we think he's amazing.

We've finished school for the year now and look forward to, Christmas, holidays and being year 6s.

Senior Boys Prizegiving Dance

2010-12-17T09:19:00.000+13:00

Our school prizegiving this year was a bit different because, for the first time, we had separate junior and senior prizegivings. Our senior prizegiving was a special event held in the evening.

For a couple of weeks we practiced our moves really hard and enjoyed ourselves dancing - even when the teachers got tired and grumpy.

When it came to the night we were prepared to dance. We made our parents proud and we're sure there was a tear in Miss King's eye. All the boys worked hard and are deserving of the rapturous applause we received.

Thanks Larsen for your help in getting the remix sounding so choice.

Baseball Story

2010-12-13T09:57:00.004+13:00

This year, Pt England played baseball. It was so cool that every body liked playing baseball that was awesome. We practiced our batting and catching and throwing. We played the real game and we challenged room 15 and we won!!!!!!!!!. After the games we and shake hands with the other team.
We wish you Merry Christmas Cola, thanks for teaching us to play baseball. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!.

Weetbix Tryathlon

2010-12-09T12:54:00.002+13:00

Tui and Lorenzo represented our class and school awesomely at the recent Weetbix Tryathlon. Miss King organised this day for us and it was amazing. We now LOVE triathlons and can't wait to do another one!

Thanks to Chris and Alex for helping out with coaching, equipment and transport.

Hosannah Reflection Story

2010-12-07T09:38:00.002+13:00

This year I have enjoyed making movies and acting in it because it is fun being with friends and our teacher. The thing I enjoyed learning the most was when MT Vesuvious erupted in Pompeii. I'd like to learn more of getting use to the computer instead of asking people. I would have worked harder at getting my animation finished so I can move on. I really enjoyed going to camp because we get to do lots of fun things,my favourite thing in camp was the concert.

The best way of learning for me is sitting on the mat and listening to Miss King . To me I tink I have improved in the writing test because Miss King was very proud of me. My goal for next year is to have my own blog.

Sesalina Swimming.

2010-12-03T12:37:00.004+13:00

I enjoyed swimming on the pools on Tuesdays every week its our first time at Pt England school having to look after our own swimming pool. Learning with Ben,Chris,Nicole and Matt was so fun teaching us how to play water polo.

when I started swimming in our new pool I was excited because I like when the water is cold.

I wish if Pt England school could keep this pool again.

Tui's Swimming Thoughts

2010-12-02T10:14:00.006+13:00

On term four one big strange thing came on our netball court. That strange thing was a swimming pool. Wow, I was so excited that we have our own pool for now. When it was Tuesday it was our turn to go swimming. We hopped in the pool, it was extremely icy cold. It felt like I won’t go in there any more. After I wet my hair the man introduced himself his name is Chris and told us what we were going to do. Our teacher told that we were going to rehearse a dance. Miss King took the sharks and Chris took us, the dolphins. We were doing swirls, handstands and freestyle, it was like a performance. Circling ballerinas with interesting Tec tonic. We clapped for them. Our one was in numbers so we knew what to do next. The count was up to four so we dived, then did a handstand and Circles then in the water. Later we only had five minutes of free time. “YAY” everyone shouted as we all played.

Mary V's swimming reflections

2010-12-02T09:34:00.003+13:00

Today is the last term of the year and we have been having a brand new swimming pool just for Pt England school, to have swimming lessons and lots of games. The fantastic games are water polo, snorkeling and life saving. Now those are cool games!

I would like to give a massive thank you to Chris, Ben, Nicole, Mat, Alice, Stacey and the rest of the great people that taught us some lessons or games. I wish you could keep on teaching us but, it is better if you all go teach other people what you all taught us. Don’t forget Pt England school and what you all have done with us. We will miss you all!

Andrea Swimming

2010-12-02T09:16:00.005+13:00

I have enjoyed doing swimming with my class and doing activities in the pool at lunch times. I have learnt how to kick with floppy ankles and do free style properly. I think with our own pool it is much better because we don't have to walk far to the pool, its just right outside our door and we don't need to miss lunch time. My goal that I have achieved is learning to kick with floppy ankles and to swim a whole lap. I still want to learn how to jump out of the water and leap in and out like a dolphin.

Caroline swimming thoughts

2010-12-01T12:21:00.005+13:00

In the beginning of term 4 there was an huge truck on the netball courts Point England kids were asking the men what are they building?’We are building your guys own school pool’.Room 14 only swims on Tuesdays. When room14 started swimming it was really cold when we got inside we were all shaking because it was freezing. Men and women to came teach,water polo, life surfer,and snorkeling. 1 week later anyone kid can sign water polo or something else you go on Tuesdays Wednesdays Thursdays or probably Friday and Monday.I was in water polo i like playing water polo is so fun. If you play that game you cant walk with the ball you can only swim with the ball with one hand. Every lunch time that will always and we learnt how to kick, with out splashing.It’s so enjoyable to have a really long,huge,and large pool at Pt England so that any class can book the pools out our class room.

My scorpion story

2010-12-01T11:50:00.004+13:00

art in room fourteen

2010-11-29T10:32:00.004+13:00

Rm 14 drew some picture of little critter on a large peace of paper for art. first we had to get a book with lots of bugs. then we had to copy our favourite bug i drew a common butter fly with green and blue wings when i finished colouring i dyed it in blue because it matches my butterfly after that miss king glued it on a black paper.

Andrea's Bug Art

2010-11-29T10:30:00.005+13:00

When room 14 do art we add it on our blog to show other countries what we have learnt. I drew a butterfly that is blue and green to try make it interesting. We drew with pencil then went over it with crayon to make it stand out in the dye. Then we started adding colour to make it even more interesting. With my inspiring ideas I made a beautiful butterfly.

Caroline's Bug Artwork

2010-11-29T10:24:00.004+13:00

After that we coloured until were finish colouring after we coloured I died my picture blue and other people dyed different colouror they could dye it blue.

Scorpions out attacking

2010-11-29T09:17:00.004+13:00

Living in dry lands are hundreds of scorpions that are fearsome and venomous, poisoning their prey. Scorpions have two large pincers joined onto their three body parts always ready to attack. Their narrow curved tail injects venom into animals or critters that gets in its way.

Very quietly a scorpions can jump out from nowhere and stab you with there evil tail. The tail is one of the parts on scorpions body and it has a stinger on the tip of the tail. You better watch out.

Tui Cockroach

2010-11-03T10:30:00.004+13:00

Scurrying for leftovers like a rat I saw a cockroach having a nibble of my cheese burger. With a loud scream I ran to my room with ten steps. when my brother came out and saw too cockroaches. Waiting and waiting I heard a shout "Cockroaches get out of the house." Huffing and puffing trying to open my door I had forgotten to unlock my room from the outside. luckily I could climb out the window. As I fell my bother caught me. With a big shout yaaaaay I escaped from cockroaches.

Cockroaches by Andrea

2010-11-03T10:09:00.000+13:00

Cockroaches are repulsive and disgusting,spreading disease around your kitchen and home. They have eyes that go right around their head, so they don't need to move their eyes. They have thousands of lenses on their eyes, but humans only have one. However, their eye sight isn't really that good. The hairs on the cockroaches legs sense vibrations. Their long and skinny legs help them to run fast. A cockroach has antennae so they can hear, feel,and help to protect them selves.

Eating dead insects, makes a cockroach a scavenger. They will eat almost anything. Cockroaches have three body parts and two pairs of wings to help them get out of danger.

When a cockroach's exoskeleton breaks, it will crawl out of the old one and grow a bigger exoskeleton. The cockroach is a survivor, it has been around since prehistoric times.

Although the cockroach is disgusting, it can be very helpful.

THE END.

The Honey Bee buzzes and spins like a yellow and black blur as it flys to a sun flower to collect pollen. Buzzing and spinning as if it is out of control, its 4 wings cover half of its body. The wings flit so fast that the bee's body is all blurry. Pollen is like seeds that help flowers grow and provide bees with nectar.

Fun at the Disco

2010-09-17T14:14:00.005+12:00

As waiting patiently for the bell to go, we rushed out the door while everyone sprinted like a cheetah. Jumping up and down, I hurried myself to get inside the disco but I couldn't because people were in line. As I made it through I was so amazed. Looking around, lights flash into my eyes. It look like I was going to cry. But suddenly I could feel the funky moves in my feet and I went so crazy. I jumped every where on the floor, screaming and laughing I went all over the place. I couldn't stop myself. As the disco finished I was so glad to see my friends laughing too.

The cool Disco

2010-09-17T12:40:00.009+12:00

As soon as the bell rang for lunch we all ran to the hall in a line, waiting to go inside the hall for the talk like a pirate disco. Happily I strolled inside looking for my Friends to come and dance. It was so fun that I was going mental dancing all around the hall. During the song the Seniors paused the music and did a cat walk competition. Miss King announced that year 1 and 2 is first, so I waited patiently. After the cat walking for the year 1 and 2 the cool songs was played again. It was really fun!

I started to stop because I had wasted my energy and it was harder than I thought it would be. Once I reached the finish line, I was proud of myself because I had given it my best effort. I was happy that it was finished and I was so exhausted that I felt like drinking my whole bottle of water.
