Why There Are Clouds

This is another Pourquoi Summary that we created.  Did you know Pourquoi means 'Why?' in French?  It is a story that explains why something is the way it is today.  It is like a myth or a legend.  Enjoy!

Pourquoi Story - Why the Flounder is Flat

This term we are learning about Myths and Legends.  We had to read an existing legend and then summarise it in our own words.  We then had to illustrate our sentences and finally, we put it together in this short film.  Enjoy!

Mary-Jane explains her stick pattern

This term we have been learning about algebra.  We have been trying to notice patterns and continue patterns using our number knowledge.  This is Mary-Jane, Marwa, and Cerenity's ice block stick pattern.  Mary-Jane created a Google Drawing to help show her thinking.

Kauri tells us about his Hero, Daniel

We were learning to take notes.  Did you know that when you take notes, you should try to use bullet points to organise your information?  These are Kauri's notes about his hero - his brother - Daniel.

Losana - Evaluating Heroes

Room 9 were using their critical thinking skills to learn that Heroism can be subjective.  Subjective means that it is based on your own personal beliefs.  We had to choose a hero, and evaluate whether or not they were heroes, and come up with our own personal opinion.  This is Losana's evaluation of the Hulk.  You can check it out by clicking here...

Kiwi Can - Praise and Compliments

Today in Kiwi Can we learned how to give compliments and how to accept compliments!  Compliments are sometimes also called giving praise.  Praise helps to build people up and make them feel good.  Giving praise means we are building positive relationships with others.  Our challenge is to give more praise to each other in Room 9.  Here are some photos from today!

Greater than, less than, equal to SYMBOLS!

Many of us have identified that to get to the next level in Algebra, we need to know and use the greater than, less than and equal to symbols correctly, so that is what we have been practicing!  We made number equations using our bodies to help us understand.  Check it out!
