Three girls from Room 6 practised for many days to sing this song in assembly.  All of Room 6 were very proud of them, to have the courage to perform in front of the whole school.  Well done girls.

Science Experiments Chromatography

Telling the time

This week, room 6 have been practising telling the time.  They have been focusing on half past the hour and elapsed time.  You could use this link at home to play the games to help you practise.

Brainiac Science Abuse - Popcorn Popping In Slow Motion

 Today we have been investigating what happens if we heat a piece of corn.  We found out that the corn turns inside out, because of the heat and the moisture that is trying to escape. The best bit about our experiment was eating the popcorn!

Ooblek

Last week, we used cornflour and water to make ooblek.  We examined what happened when we stirred the mixture quickly & slowly, when we squeezed the mixture, when we let it drip through our fingers.  It was a really strange experience.  We found out that it was all because of the shape molecules that the corn flour is made from - it is a bit like quicksand! The faster or harder you mix the liquid, the shape of the molecules, means that the liquid 'locks up' and turns into a solid.

This was such a fun experiment! And definitely one that you can try at home - but outside!

books, books, books

Room 6 have been reading crazy this year! Miss Rhodes found a fun game to play to celebrate books....

Pick up the nearest book to you.
Turn to page 52.
Find the 5th sentence and write it down.
Don't write the title of the book down.

When we visited our school library today, we did this.  Below are some of the sentences we found. Can you guess which book they are from?

Going to the dump

At the dump we saw a giant truck sweeping trash into a pile. The pile was really stinky and dirty. The second hand shop was full with stuff from the dump. And there was can, bottles and plastic bags. And there birds nest. And I saw a egg, a T.V, a chair and a new mattress.

Fun with angles

Today we played with the beebots to teach us about angles. The beebots are robots that we can program to make 1/4 or 1/2 or full turns. They can go backwards and forwards too. We used the beebots to learn about right angles in shapes such as squares and rectangles.

macro photography

We have been learning how to take a photo using the macro setting on the camera. Can you guess what any of these things are?

Student Council Representative

A big congratulations to Emma who was elected the Class Representative for Room 6 today!
We had a really interesting morning, each child gave their speech, explaining why they were the best person for the job! We then had a private ballot session.  We showed use of lots of the Kilbirnie School values during this time - Confident speakers, Achieving, Respectful behaviour and Empathy for the children that were not elected.  Well done Room 6, I was really proud of your grown up behaviour this morning - and especially those of you that instantly applauded Emma, despite maybe feeling disappointed yourselves! As always Room 6, you are awesome!!

jelly fish

Hey Room 6, another great day today!

Have you had a look at home for a plastic bottle yet? When you have found one, bring it to school with your name written on the bottom.

Here are the jelly fish instructions - BUT DON'T MAKE IT YET!! We will do it together at school.

It's a very exciting project - we will be recycling and re-using too! (I think that will be a great help to our sea - creatures!)

School Council

Hey Room 6
Don't forget that today is the last day for you to nominate yourself for our school council.  If you haven't given your form to Ms Johnstone yet, then make sure you do it by the end of Thursday 21st March.

Next week we will be having our speech day - we will talk more about this at school in the week. 

See you on Thursday
Miss Rhodes

Data data data...

What a busy day we had today Room 6. It was amazing watching you work as a team to process and collate the data that we had collected from our Kilbirnie School Census. I thought it would take us all day to count and collect the information, but you were so focused and involved in what you were doing that it was finished by morning tea time! Amazing! It was interesting trying to find ways to overcome the stumbling blocks that we encountered wasn't it? We learned a lot about the huge job that it must be for the team at Statistics NZ.

Now we have our data, we need to decide how we are going to present it and analyse it. 

DO THE HARLEM SHAKE!!!!!!!!!!

Room 6 - YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great video Room 6! I enjoyed that we turned this into a learning experience - using the knowledge of dance that we have begun to learn with Rachel in our dance & drama sessions, plus, thinking carefully about something that represents ourselves!

Most importantly, we had such good fun and we definitely showed one of our Kilbirnie School values - Confidence!

Census Day

Hey Room 6

TODAY IS NEW ZEALAND CENSUS DAY!
