Sailing at Camp

“Where is the wind coming from” I say to my self in frustration, pulling back I duck my head and slide to the other side. A sudden gush of wind blows in to my sail and pushes my hair “Pull the sail” shouts a voice over the wind. Reaching back with my free hand, the water bails in as I cut through the waves at great speed, passing bashful and dopey for the third time I smile look over to mum as she passes me .Turning around at the boy the wind suddenly drops and I’m left floating there a massive wave rooks me back and fords. “Can you tow me?“I shout back at them throwing over my rope I see Hamish and Jesse are all ready hooked up.

Welcome to Room 6 2010

Hello there all!
It has been a while since this blog has been up and running and now that we have been back at school for four weeks we are beginning to get some great work published which will be appearing here over the next few weeks.
Swimming is over so it is time for us to really delve into our new topic and I have had a lot of really amazing comments from children about homework accomplishments (mostly food related) and I am hoping that I will have some news stories shared tomorrow morning!
Well as soon as we get our bike models finished and and our character descriptions published we will have them here for you all to read. Don't forget to leave a comment!

Visit to Cinderella

The whole school went to see Cinderella and we enjoyed it because we got to dance to the music and it was really funny.

Cinderella.
Poor and called names by her sisters who didn't let her go to the ball.
Sad and unhappy.
By Makayla

I walked into the gym and starred a lot at the props that sat upon the stage. At the end I thought it wasn't so bad so I stopped worrying about it.

Cinderella was one of the best shows that I have ever seen! The actors were Cinderella, her two Step Sisters, Fairy God Mother, Prince Rupert and the Giant Talking Clock.

The whole school went to see Cinderella. It was a long trip to Wanaka, but we got there in the end. When we got there we had to line up and then walk into the building to watch Cinderella. When it was half way through the show it was really really funny. The actors were really cool and funny and I enjoyed seeing the show.

Balloon Powered Car

We had an idea... we wanted to see if we could power a car with a balloon. The first car was way too heavy so we tried another car that was not so heavy. I taped a balloon to the car, blew up the balloon and then put the toy car down on the floor. When the air came out of the balloon it pushed it along the floor.

On the Move

Hello parents,
with winter the blog has been in hibernation for the past few months, but now awake and back on the job. In our new unit, On the Move, we are looking at simple machines, how they work and how they help us in every day life. You might be hearing your children use words like gears and levers and even an inclined plane... do you know what these words mean? Follow the link above to the Ed Heads website and see if you know more about the seven Simple Machines than your child... do you think that it is a wedge or a lever? A gear or a wheel and axle?
Also there is a link to the Math Magician site; it is a brilliant place to practice basic facts in a timed situation and a fun way to learn.
Keep watching this space!
