100%'ers:

Today was the first day that Niwa and Tuko scored 100% in the Five Minute Frenzy (C)!  Niwa feels happy, because it's her first time to score 100%, and she only scored 46% in her first test.  Tuko feels proud that he scored his first 100% as he only scored 27% in his first test. Their goal was to achieve 100% and get a good time under 5 minutes.  The whole class is proud of Tuko and Niwa's success.

We had an astonishing 17 people achieve 100% in this morning's Five Minute Frenzy:

Tuko, Niwa, Jamie, Abbi, Ben, Shontelle, Sian, Jayden, Phoebe, Briana, Ashlee, Finn, Aidan, Sharon, Charis, Katiana and Maddy.  Only 5 people scored 100% - Jamie, Natasha, Abbi, Sharon and Jack - when we first started doing Five Minute Frenzies.  Natasha would probably have scored 100% too, if she hadn't been at music.

Fantastic learning Room 11!

100%ers!

After 4 days of Five Frenzy addition grids, 10 people in Room 11 scored a whopping 100%!

Ashlee manages herself!

Ashlee was presented with a certificate at assembly last Friday for managing herself at home and at school.
Her behaviour used to be a bully and scary, and now she is happy and kind and helpful.
Her mother is really, really proud of Ashlee and her change in behaviour and her attitude - so is Ms Clydesdale!
Well done, Ashlee!

The Dog Ate My Homework!

Dog Needs rap:

Bottle Rockets this afternoon!

This afternoon we are testing our hypothesise, that we think the bottle rockets will fly best two thirds full. Most of us have our empty PET bottles ready, and Kian is the only one in the class who has fins on his bottle. Kian's hypothesis is that his bottle will be more aerodynamic than the other bottles, therefore, it will fly better.

If you want to try this, please have an adult around you!

Room 11 Lifesavers!

Ashlee, Sage and Katiana are Junior Lifesavers at Karioitahi Beach.
It's good fun and a good experience, because you can learn to be a proper life guard and do CPR. We get rides in the IRB and lst time the waves were massive.
If their ared no lifeguards, we can save them.
The Karioitahi Lifeguards recently revived a man who was fishing with one of our mums. That's what lifeguards do!
