Room 10's camp experience

Camp!
What everybody in year 5-6 was waiting for!

But of all the camps this year, the best by far was Room 10's camp at Bettany.
Firstly, the camp grounds were HUMONGOUS!!
Secondly, there was a sixty metre long waterslide.
We also had a giant adventure playground, a foosball table, a volleyball net
and two four-ball tables, we were hardly ever bored!
We were glad we didn't go to marahau.

CABINS:
The beds were comfy and it was four beds a room.
We had heaters and rubbish bins, but the girls thier own showers and toilets.

We had lots of great activities to do like archery, bungy, a walk on the abel tasman, absailing, kayaking and night games.

That was the most exiting camp EVER

Kia Kaha!

This week Constable Mc Kitrick came to tell us about bullying.He showed us how to identify bullies, plus he showed us the difference between responsibilities and rights. Then he read us a story called No bullies in our school.Thanks Constable Mc Kitrick.

Beach planting!

Yesterday morning we walked down to the beach to do some planting.There was a man from Nelmac called Steve.He showed us how to plant the grasses.They were American grasses.

The were called spinnifex.We planted them to stop erosion in the sand dunes.

Erosion is the wearing away of the sand by the tide and wind.

The process of planting a spinnifex is:

1.dig a hole about 30 cm deep. 2.put 1 canister of fertiliser in. 3.insert the spinnifex and cover its roots whith sand.

We found twelve crabs,a beetle and two sandhopper larve.

One of the crabs decided to get agressive and attacked Jordan's finger.

We planted over 400 plants.

Room 10 would like to thank Steve and the crew at Nelmac for letting us help with this project!!!

On the 26 of march we went to do kidpower at the M.C. We learnt to defend ourselves in an emergency situation. Such as if someone grabs you, you'd yank up, push down or rip to the side to get away.

Tane, Sam and James

During the last two weeks Room 10 children have been working on a technology challenge for homework. The technology challenge was to create an item of wearable art that was made completely of recycled materials. The children were judged on the following criteria:

1. All materials are recyclable



2. The aesthetic quality of the wearable art



3. The design process (modifications)

The children strutted their stuff on the catwalk on Thursday 26 March.

Grubby Day!

In week 5 with our buddy class we helped fill the vegetable beds with top soil and compost. Did you know that you can get lots of different types of soil. We made a line and passed the buckets filled with grubby soil along the line. Eventually we filled the beds.
