My Term 2 Goals

Denny's

Profile 2016

Kia ora! My name is Mary. I am ten years old and my culture is Cook Island.  I go to Ruapotaka School and I am in Room 10.  I am a Year 6 student and my class teacher is Mrs Buchanan.

I am learning to be a Cybersmart expert in Room 10 by cooperating with others. My favourite subjects are reading and maths. I like maths because we work with two buddies and share our ideas when we do our problem solving. I like reading because I get to read and share ideas with my buddy that I'm working with. My goals are to learn my 4 and 6 times tables and to get A-grades for homework every week. I like to play all kinds of sports but my favourite is netball.

I admire my family because they take care of me. When I grow up, I want to be a superstar like Maria Tutaia.

Fern flag or current flag?

It has been hard work talking about changing the flag lately. It was very difficult deciding which flag but most of us chose the current flag because it might cost more money to change our passports and driving licences. 1 quarter of Room 10 voted for the fern flag and 3 quarters voted for the current flag. Then it was the final day when John Key had to choose which flag was the best. The current flag won for our country.

Sport at St Kents

At St Kents last week we were playing games like turbo touch. Turbo touch is like you can pass the ball forward and backwards and get intercepts. The next game was long ball. Long ball is like you kick the ball as far as you can and then you have to run to the square. Then when the next person runs, you have to run home. The next game was tag with the noodles. It is like there are people tagging the people who are running home and that was a lot of fun. At St Kents it was a lot of fun.

Swimming with the instuctors

On the last day of swimming with the instructors, they tested us to see where we were at. Through swimming we were doing some amazing practice with the instructors. Then it came to the end where we had to do  a challenge who had to go the longest without touching the ground. When I went in the pool it was  cold, cool and chilly and then I had to duck under the water then we starting the challenge I had 25 meters going down and back it was cool and it was the best time of my life.

My Amazing Cress

We are learning about plants grow and seeds sprout. We grew cress and sprouted broad beans in class. We watched how water moves through plants by putting celery in coloured water.

This is how my cress changed over time.
