Kids Witness News
Room 13 entered the KWN Panasonic Storyboard competition last term. Today we found out that we had been chosen as one of the best 20 entries.
Paul from Panasonic came to present us with our prize - a brand new Panasonic camera, microphones and a memory card.
The next step for Room 13 is to create the movie from our storyboard and enter it into the movie competition.
Thanks Paul and Panasonic!

Olympic Theme Songs
As a part of our learning about the Olympic Games, we have compared two different Games' songs with the Olympic Ideal promoted by Pierre de Coubertin in 1896. These music videos present what we found out.

Team 4 Teachers Go For Gold!
Each new term our teachers immerse us in our topic of inquiry for the term. This term it is all about the Olympic Games.
Our teachers are a little bit weird, but they certainly had us all laughing.

The Spider - A Guest Post
Room 13 is very lucky to have Mia occasionally spend time in our class. She visits us when she comes to Auckland. Today is the last day of Term 2 and Mia is with us again.
During the holidays the walls in our classroom are being replaced. Because of this we had to spend this morning ripping all the old fabric off the walls.
Unbeknownst to us, a very large spider has been living underneath all that fabric.
In the corner of our class room there was a black spider, it was huge and he is called Mr Blacky. He had big crawly arms and was very slow, yet fast at the same time.
Mr Blacky had a very nice home until the end of the term. Because we came and ripped all of his spider web off. Now Mr Blacky is very cross and he was waving his arms around.
That's how angry he is.
