Room5@Work

Hey Room5ians, hope you are having a good weekend. Congratulations to Casey-Lee for being named Person of the Week. Enjoy your throne for the week.

Swimming sports are on Tuesday, please remember to come in your house colours. On Monday we will sort out what events everyone will swim in.

I am so impressed with all the red dots on our cluster map. A big hello to Grace and Jemma who are in London. We are working on our e-mails in class girls, and we will send them soon. Also hello to Miss Coombe in London. It was great to see you on the blog and I hope it inspires your class and staff to start one up. Mr Baker misses London and hopes to return soon.

What is the name of the clock in the picture?

 Weekend riddles:

1. A woman had two sons who were born on the same hour of the same day of the same year. But they were not twins. How could this be so?

2. It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, cannot be heard, cannot be smelt, it lies behind stars and under hills, and it fills in empty holes. What is it?

3. What goes up when the rain comes down?

Good luck Room5ians, these riddles are pretty tricky.

Room5ians have been learning about angles. Can you guess how big these angles are? 

Enjoy your night Room5ians and see you tomorrow.

Well done team it’s been a tough week full of tests and assessment but we survived. Now all the hard work begins.

Congratulations to Emma for being chosen as Person of the Week! It was a close call but Emma you definitely deserved it. Boys you need to lift your game or that couch will become a strictly girl zone!

I don’t know about you but I thought our movie for Assembly was cool. Thanks for all your hard work team, it was great seeing everyone on the big screen. Send us a comment and tell me what you thought. Still haven’t figured out how to put the movie on the blog but I am working on it.

I thought it was great to see Michael’s dad on the blog. Our cluster map is starting to fill up which is awesome!!!! Where in the world will someone check our blog next?

Good luck to all the Newbury sports teams this weekend. I have been busy organising everything so I hope it goes well, although I have a feeling rain is on its way. I have entered a second Basketball team so we now have two. Go Newbury!!!!

Congratulations Elettra on being named Person of the Week. I know Elizabeth thought long and hard about who to pick, but I think she definitely picked the right person. Elettra you are a super worker who is an inspiration to all Room5ians.

Nice work all those people who finished their book covers. I have stuck them on the Reading Rocks wall and they look great. All that hard work was definitely worth it!!!

Next week the Hillary Team is running assembly, so I thought we might make a video about our school to share. Are there any young actor/actresses out there that would like a starring role?

Mr Baker is away on Monday as he has got to go to Wellington for the day. Could you please bring your swim wear as your teacher for the day is going to take you swimming. Spread the word.

Wow Room5ians, I am so impressed with all your blogging!!!!!

It’s so cool to read about your holidays on-line. Courtney in Opunake, Harrison in New Plymouth and Casey-Lee in Mokia. I know all those places well as Taranaki is my home province.

Thanks for a fun day today team, I was impressed with your great listening skills.

Tomorrow hopefully we can finish the time capsule and cool off in our funny coloured swimming pool. Chance cards to everyone who posted a blog! You rock.

Who will be the first Room5ian to be named Person Of the Week? Who will figure out the 9 letter word?

See you tomorrow

Welcome everyone to Room 5, Newbury School. Isn’t it great to be back at school?

The holidays were great but I’m glad to be back at school. I spent my holidays roaming between home (Palmerston North), Taranaki (My parent’s home), Wellington and Mahia. Drop me a line and tell me what you got up to in the holidays. I would love to read your adventures.

I hope everyone enjoyed their first day and are looking forward to an action packed year.
