D.A.R.E Problem Solving

Constable Ian has been coming in to teach us about the dangers of Drugs and Alcohol. We have been looking at ways to deal with situations and ways to solve problems. Ian gave us some problems to solve. One being getting untangled and then another challenge was balancing 12 nails on top of one nail.

¿Cuántos años tienes?

In class we have been learning Spanish. Mr V. lived in Spain for a year so he is teaching us.
So far we can greet and farewell each other, Count to 20 and have learned how to count to 100.
Our biggest challenge so far is to ask each other how old we are! This is an example of a conversation we have performing in class:

Hola Amigo (Hi Friend)

Hola (Hello)

¿Cuántos años tienes? (How many years do you have?)

Tengo _____ años. (I have ____ years.)

¿Y tú? (And you?)

Tengo _____ años. (I have ____ years.)

Adiós (Goodbye)

Hasta Luego (See you later)

Pompeii Mosaics

In Tui Syndicate every Thursday we swap teachers and get to do 'Creative Thinking'. When we went to Room 8 with Mrs Christie last term we got to make Mosaics that represented the eruption of Pompeii. It was really fun! We had to create a powerpoint of our learning journey so we got to use the computers too!
Take a look at some of our work!

Fun Run Fever

Today our whole class ran at least 5km in the Fun Run. We all dressed up in costumes with the theme "Sci-Fi Appreciation Society". Some of the costumes that some of us dressed up in were Men Black, Neo from The Matrix, Pokemon Card Geeks, Princess Leia and Mr V. dressed up as Spok!

We ran around to fundraise for our class camp for the end of the year. We have been working hard to get sponsors to donate a certain amount of money for every lap we ran. The class that raises the most money wins a prize. So far our class are doing well, but we have a lot of work to do if we want to win so we need all the help we can get!
