Room5@Work

Well Room 5 it was fantastic meeting you all today. I have heard so many wonderful things about you all throughout the year that I had to come and visit before I lost the chance! I want to thank you for all the lovely presents you have given Mr B and I, as well as the thoughtful cards, pictures and many other things you have given us over the past year.

I hope you enjoyed the story I read at lunchtime - it was the first time I have ever read a story to a class before - and you guys were great listeners! Even though Mr B is leaving Newbury, I hope you keep track of the blog and let us both know how you are all doing. I wish you all a very Merry Christmas and happy New Year and hope you have a fun summer holiday. By Trudi

Today R5 dug up our Time Capsule which we burried in Term 1. We thought we knew exactly where is was (behind the Multi-purpose room) but after an hour of digging we couldn’t find it. Fortunately we finally stumbled upon it. It was full with letters we had written to ourselves and lollies. Check it out.

Today the Hillary team went on an end of year outing to the Lido. It was awesome fun and the kids deserved it after all their hard work throughout the year. Click Here to watch a Photostory of the trip.

Well we all know Mr B loves Blogging but  it is catching on. Trudi has a Blog called Baker Baby Blog and she is going to use it to keep everyone up to date on baby news.

Also a group of students in my class now have their very own Blogs. Talk about cool!! If you want to check them out click on the link in the sidebar under Student Blogs. Please leave a comment, I’m sure the students would love to hear from you.

Isn’t ICT fun? Hopefully the one thing I have taught my students this year is the endless possibilities of ICT. lets get Blogging everyone!!!!

Congratulations to all the contestants and winners at Newbury’s Got Talent today. Everyone did an awesome job and wasn’t Josh’s beat-boxing fantastic? Here are some photos from today.

Today we were lucky to have Mr Nick Lawton from the Police come and talk to us about crime. He explained all about the different roles of the Police and how to collect fingerprints, blood and DNA samples. Here are some photos from today.

Hi everyone, today we were lucky enough to have a visit from Mr Paul Murray, a Crown Prosecutor. It was so interesting learning about his job and how the New Zealand legal system works. 

Hopefully one day someone from Room 5 will go on to become one. I think being a Crown Prosecutor would be a challenging and rewarding job.

Here are the results from the Newbury Spelling Bee.

A special mention goes out to Joshua Watson who got 4th and is only a Year 4. Well done everyone.

Hey everyone, the Hillary team is holding a Photo Exhibition on Tuesday at Lamb and Calf Day. Photos have been printed out in colour on photographic paper and can be purchased for $3 half page and $5 full page.

The Exhibition is mainly made up of children’s ACE Homework Projects but Mrs Cunningham and myself have also added in some photos from throughout the year.

The children have done a great job, so please come along and support the Hillary team and this cool fundraiser.

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.

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!!!!!!
