Inquiry Learning

Terracotta Warriors!

During week 3 Mrs Munro came and worked with us. We learnt lots of interesting things about the Terracotta Army. Our task was to convince Mrs Munro that it was worth while visiting the Terracotta Army and then plan her a trip from Auckland to Xian, China.

Fish

On the last day of Term 2 my dad (John) came into Room 21 and set up a filter so we could have some fish. He also put in some weed and even a little sign which he put in the fish tank that red NO FISHING! He said we had to keep the filter going over the holidays and then on the first day of Term 3 he would bring some fish into school so we could have them for are class room. So on the first day of term 3 he brought in some fish. In the morning while I was getting dressed ready for school my dad got them ready. He put them in a big bucket with water in it (of course) and got some fish food as well. When we got to school we took the fish and all of the other stuff out of the car and took it down to the class room. My dad tipped the bucket over the tank so the fish fell in. Then the bell rang and people started to come into the class room. Everyone was looking at the fish and we soon came up with some names: Bubbles, Fred, Charlie, Bob, Nemo and George.

Every week there is a new person from Room 21 that feeds them.

Speeches

We have fffiiiinaly started speeches (yyyyaaaaayyyy its time for celebration ....celebrate good time come on) anyway it started like 1 and a half weeks ago and they are sooooooooo good, well at least some of them are and some of them are very funny: joke: why did the orange stop rolling down the hill? Because it ran out of juice!!!!!! Hey why do gorrilas have big nostrils? Because they have big fingers!!!!!!!!!! Why did the robber have a shower? Because it wanted to get a clean getaway!!!!!! Anyway moving on. Everybody in each class did a speech it was a very hard desision but we finally chose the 2 people for the semi finals. The semi finals were on the 4th of August and there were a lot of very good speeches but only some could go through I (Harry) know a couple. Rama, Tashil, Nigel, Urvakhsh and some others but keep checking back because the finals are soon!!!!!!

Rugby Practice

On the 20th of july Thomas Cole and Adam came to Point View school to teach Room 21 how to play rugby.

Firstly Thomas showed us the correct way to pass a rugby ball then we played a game when we were in four groups of six. The aim of the game was to do as many passes around the rectangle as many times as you can without dropping the ball. While 3 groups were doing that, the other group was running around the groups doing the passing then they would jump over some pads and then ran into Adam (who was holding one of the pads). When all the team members had done that they would yell out stop and the groups doing passing would stop. The high score was by team 3 with 137 passes!

Then after that game, two teams joined together to make one team and the other two teams did the same. The game was rugby and netball combined so you were not aloud to move when you had the ball,you also had to do rugby passes not netball passes.The aim of the game was to get the ball to the person in the square when you got the ball to the person in the square it was a point unless the ball hit the ground before they got the ball.The wining team won 3-0 but over all we had a great time learning rugby skills with Adam and Thomas.
