Room5@Work

Well team, it’s finally the end!!! It has been an awesome year full of fun, excitement and drama!! We have done lots of different things and hopefully learnt lots of important stuff that you can use in your future.

I have been thinking about our class and whether I taught the things that I wanted to this year. I have come up with 4 things which I hope have come through in our class and that you will take away from R5.

1) Be confident - Believe in yourself, you all have talents!! Find out what you love doing and follow that dream.

2) Be kind and friendly to others - Simple yet so important!!!

3) ICT is the way of the future - Don’t be afraid of computers they are wonderful creative tools.

4) Have Fun!!!!! - At the end of the day having fun and enjoying life is what it is all about.

I have enjoyed everyone’s company and I always looked forward to coming into our class each day. R5 will always be a special class which I will never forget.

And finally keep on Blogging!!!! Mrbakersblog.com may no longer be your class Blog but you were the first students to use the Blog. Take part in the activities, leave comments and enjoy the Blog, you will always be welcome!!!

Enjoy the Holidays and hopefully next time you see me, Mr B will be a dad!!!

HOMEWORK PROJECTS

The ACE Project was a great success and lots of fun. Photos from the ACE project and R5’s Photo Montages will be available for sale at Lamb and Calf Day. Photos will be printed out in colour on proper photo paper and signed by the photographer. I am currently working on a new project for Term 4 and will post information about it in the holidays.

BLOG MAKE-OVER

Mr B is currently giving the Blog a make-over (I get bored easy!!!) so expect some changes. If you check out the Blogroll on the right you will see I have listed a whole bunch of sites you can go in the holidays if you get bored. They are full of awesome games to enhance learning. Have fun, I quite often play round on them myself!!!! Elettra is the new P.O.W. (Awesome Elettra, you are da Bomb!!!!!)

Enjoy your holidays everyone, Term 4 is going to be extremely busy!!!

Hey everyone, well would you believe it but it is the end of Term 3 already!! As always it has been extremely busy and I think everyone is looking forward to a well deserved break.

Term 3 started with Mr Baker and the Fair Go Team putting the finishing touches on their Fair Go Ad. Well Wednesday night is the Ad Show and we have not heard anything back. I think this means we have definitely not won but still could be in the running to get on the show. Last year my class got third and Fair Go did not ring us until the day before the show. So fingers crossed we still have a chance!!

It is usually about now that I make a Photostory of the Term that was. Unfortunately I do not have any photos from the Term as they were all stolen when our house got robbed.

Anyway before we can put our feet up and relax we have a busy week ahead. On Tuesday morning we are off to the Marae (By bus), Thursday is the Maths Road Show and Friday is a Dress Up Day (What you want to be when you get older). Hopefully Wednesday we make our TV debut on Fair Go.

Due to our busy week I think we will have our Class Auction on Thursday afternoon. I know everyone has been working really hard and are keen to spend their hard earned cash!! About now you might be asking what items are going to be available in the auction? Good question!! Well Mr B will bring a whole bunch of goodies but I would also like everyone to bring one thing from home to put in the auction. It could be something that you don’t want and think others would like. We will discuss this in class tomorrow.

Homework for this week is…… Zero!! Enjoy the week off, you deserve it!!!!!!!

Below is a Poll about what you are doing in the holidays. Please vote and leave a comment if you want to tell me what you are up too. Mr B is going to Hamilton and Auckland in week one. Nothing but Shopping and R and R.

Enjoy your Sunday, 5 days to go, see you tomorrow.
