Hey Team, Blog homework for this week is to send in a comment telling me what you are going to do for your Science Project. Your project is due at the end of week 2, Term 3. Hopefully everyone has been thinking about what to do or even started.

Don’t forget to use the correct format for your Science Project which I sent home a few weeks ago. Get Blogging team and I look forward to reading your ideas.

P.O.W - Mr Baker’s Voki is playing tricks so I will announce the P.O.W in writing. Congratulations to Bailey Hura. Nice one Bailey enjoy your throne.

Hey everyone, hope you are enjoying your weekend. Check out the photos below, they are from some Art we did on Umbrellas (appropriate considering the weather). Come into class if you want to have a closer look.

Voki Challenges:

Here are some clues to help you out. The student Voki is somewhere in Europe, has a large park in the middle, they love to eat meat and potatoes and the country it is in is surrounded by 9 other countries.

The parent Voki is also in Europe and I have changed the picture to give you more of a chance. Tourist attractions in this city include its Museum and Castle. Good luck, Jenny has picked a tough one!!!!

9 Letter Word - This scrambled up 9 letter word has been on Room 5’s window for the last month. Can you figure out what word it is?  A  I  T  S  I  R  C  E  L

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and the P.O.W will be up tomorrow.

Hey everyone, sorry it’s taken me so long to get this weeks Blog Homework up but I have been extremely busy.

First Voki Challenge Clues: Children’s Voki is somewhere in Europe and the city has the most beautiful park in the middle of it. Parent’s Voki is not in Asia, is a city with 2 million people and has a river running through it. It also had its US Embassy bombed by Al-Qaeda. Good luck, both Voki Challenges are tricky!!

W8 BLOG HOMEWORK

Send me a comment telling me about your favourite place in the world. It could be somewhere in your house, town or somewhere you have been. Please explain why it’s your favourite place.

Mr Baker’s answer: My favourite place in the world is Hyde Park in London. I just love Hyde park because it is such a beautiful park and I used to live right next to it in London. London is a awesome city and the park used to remind me of NZ and I loved going for walks and runs in it every day.

Room 5 are learning about Statistics. Today we collected data (Colours of vehicles travelling past Newbury School) using Tally Charts. Next we are going to learn how to graph the data. Check out these photos from today’s learning.

Hey everyone, the last Voki Challenge has been struck - it was Jerusalem in Israel. It must have been too easy or someone got a few extra clues? Anyway I have put up a new Voki Challenge and it is extra hard. Good luck, chocolate fish to the first person to strike it. I will drop in extra clues as we go along.

Here are some photos from today’s Rippa Rugby Tournament. We lost every game but that didn’t matter as we had a lot of fun.

Hey Room5ians, Well W7 is going to be an extremely busy week. On Tuesday is the Kainui Cross Country and on Wednesday is the Mark Donaldson Rippa rugby Tournament. Children going to the Cross Country on Tuesday need to remember to bring back their Permission Slips tomorrow. At the moment I do not have enough cars and might have to take less kids if transport does not improve. Please see me tomorrow if you can take a car.

I have put up a new Voki Challenge so have a go at solving it. It’s pretty tricky!! Here’s a couple of clues: It’s a English speaking city and it’s not in Europe. Good luck.

WEEK 7 BLOG HOMEWORK - Since we are learning about Statistics in class I want you to collect some data about your house.

1) How many doors does your house have?

2) How many windows does your house have?

3) How many steps in your house?

Mr Baker’s answer. 1) 20 doors 2) 42 Windows 3) 9 steps

Remember to be honest, I look forward to reading your answers.

Hey everyone, hope you enjoyed the Cross Country today, I thought it went off well. I was especially impressed with all the kids effort and determination to finish the course. I made the course longer this year so it would prepare the runners for Kainui Cross Country which is on Tuesday.

We have decided to take the top 3 in each Year group this year to Kainui. So congratulations to the following runners who wll be coming with Mr Baker on Tuesday (Permitting on us getting enough transport) to Awahou School.

Emily Shearman   Casey-Lee Cranston   Elettra Sciascia   Jaimee Leader   Terese Richard   Larissa Stead   Alana Clapperton   Emma Clayton   Vaida Hoggard   Georgette Dawbin   Hannah Wilson   Curtis Rutland   Devlin Macnamara   Connor Robertson   Jack Tyler   George Greer   Taylor Quine   Travis Day   Josh Drysdale   Connor Dahl   Jonathan Adam

These are the only photos I got today as I was busy organising things.

Check out these photos from Room 5’s Science session with Mr Levy.

Hey Room5ians, No one has figured out the Voki Challenge yet so I’ll give you another clue. The city is somewhere in Eastern European. If I was trying to figure it out I’d be reaching for my Atlas. Good luck team, it’s a tricky one.

If you check out the Maths page you will find I have put up a new Maths Quiz. It’s based on what we have been doing in class. This week we start Statistics.

Blog Homework for this week is to write about what you want to be when you get older. For example:

When I get older I want to be a _____________. I want to be a ______________because_____________________

Mr Baker’s answer: When I get older I want to be a Photographer. I want to be a Photographer because I love taking photos and have always been fasinated by beautiful pictures and the way that they show a moment in time. I think being a Photographer would also be really interesting beacause you get to do different things all the time (I get bored doing the same old thing all the time). Maybe I’ll do a few more years teaching then study to be a photographer. It would be so cool!!!!!!

Look forward to reading your answers and don’t forget to explain why you want to be that person.

Hey team, hope you are enjoying your weekend. If you listen to Mr Baker’s voki you will find out the new P.O.W and I have put up a new Voki Challenge. The challenge is very hard, so good luck. I will put up extra clues if noone can get it.

Here are a few photos from R7’s assembly. Great singing Room5ians and a great assembly from R7!!!!!!

Today was World Environment day. All the classes at Newbury School planted a tree to help celebrate the day. Check out some of the photos.

Hey Team, Blog Homework for this week is (send in a comment):

My favourite song is______________ by ____________I love this song because_________________

Mr Baker’s answer: My favourite song is Banquet by Bloc Party. I love this song because it is such a cool dance song and it reminds me of my time living in London. I saw Block Party live at the Royal Albert Theatre in London and they were amazing!!!

Hey everyone, if you listen to Mr Baker’s Voki you will find out the new P.O.W and Magic Manners chair. I have also put up a new Voki challenge for you to have a go at. It’s pretty tricky so good luck. Sorry It took so long but I have been extremely busy.

See you all tomorrow.
