Winter Learning Journey - Rachel Williams

Rachel Williams

A lady came into room 10 classroom to show that there is a blogging of  winter learning journey

She was talking about if we want to join in and register for the learning blogging journey that is going on. What we do is that we register and we have activities to blog about it on the website

We have different activities like there are pictures of what you need to write about . Whenever we do a blog post we have 4 points but it has to be about the activity on the website. Who ever has the most points you might get a basket of food and movie tickets.I can’t wait until we start the holiday blogging !

Financial literacy

Two teachers named Nikki and Sigred told Room 10 about financial literacy. What is financial literacy? It is about saving money. Saving money is buying things that you need for yourself and what is good. There was a poster that was talking about reducing expenses. A girl was talking about what she needs and what she does not need and we had to sort out what was her expenses and what things she did not need. What is financial responsibility? It is being a good borrower. What is identity? It is the government and non-government things, like birth certificate, work card, passport, driver's licence, that tell who we are. My favourite part I learnt about was how to save money so I can achieve more when I am older.

Checking out Vector Arena!

On Tuesday we went to Vector Arena on the bus. When we got there, first of all we did a quiz and we can win a  prize at the end. The first question was when was Vector Arena built? I knew the answer was 2007. The we went around the arena to look at the dressing rooms of some famous singers, like Beyonce, Lorde, Katy Perry and Jessie J. The first room we went to see was Beyonce’s. We went and saw the purple lights and purple ground. It was really exciting to see Beyonce’s dressing room. It was like a dream come true. Next we went to this room that had red lights where there was a bar and there was a gaint shoe. The shoe was very creative because it had a made up dragon on it. My favourite part was when I plugged the charger into the electric car.   

Snag Golf

Last Thursday we went to snag golf after morning tea. We had to train with a coach named Jae to know the rules/lessons so we knew what to do. We had to buddy up with groups of three. My buddies were Julianne and Kuini. First we had to roll the ball to the target that was made out of Velcro. It was a very sticky mat so the tennis ball could attach to the Velcro. Second we had to roll the ball into the hula hoop and the Velcro was the protector. Thirdly we had to hit the ball in the target with the golf club. My favourite part was when we all tried as a group to try and win the competition.

A celebration for parents!

Last Thursday I came after school and signed the contract for my chrome book to take home every Monday and Wednesday. First when I came in I was excited about taking my chrome book home. We did the survey for the parents, all sisters and brothers. After that me and my sister looked at my screen cast  for the parent meeting. She thought it was really good because she asked me some questions about it. We were looking forward to looking at the the class blog because we have been doing some really good stuff in room 10 like the professional chefs that made our lunch and the doctor that came to talk about healthy eating. We looked at my drive to see where I put things in my folders, like my infographic. Also we looked at my other folders to see what I was doing. Then we checked the class site for some exciting links. It was really fun getting my chrome book and taking it home!
