Quadblogging

Room 10 are now part of a quadblogging group. This is where we connect with 3 other classes by leaving comments on their blogs and they read and leave comments on ours!

Each class of quadbloggers has a week of doing the posting. Which is our week?

Week 1:  http://room12sawesomelearningjourney.blogspot.co.nz/ - Vardon School, Hamilton
Week 2:  http://room6ateps2013.weebly.com - Edgecumbe Primary
Week 3:  http://room10hes.blogspot.co.nz/ - Hamilton East
Week 4:  http://www.tangowahineschool.blogspot.co.nz/ - Tangowahine School, Dargavill

The students from these classes can read and comment on your stories in your kidblogs too.

I wonder where these schools are? Can you find them on a map and share with us?

Light by Tarn, Chloe and Alisa-Mei

Our Inquiry Unit this term has been about simple machines. Our group's topic is about light and how it works. Please leave a comment or ask us a question after you have watched our movie.

Kauri Assembly 3rd July

Last Wednesday was another fun Kauri Assembly. We do so much singing and dancing and sharing.

Some of the children in Room 10 wish it could go on for longer!

Here is the photo of our wonderful certificate winners for the week. There were a few invisible ones that needed fairy dust sprinkled on them!

Well done to you.

Simple Machines

As part of our Inquiry Unit - Time Machine - we went for a visit to the Waikato Museum.
We had lots of fun with Ray finding out how simple machines work particularly in toys.

We then had the opportunity to go upstairs to Exscite for a play and to discover how things work for ourselves.

What a fun afternoon. Thanks Ray
