First success for the term:

Bailey and Sage had success on our first day back at school this term - they both scored 100% in their Five Minute Frenzy Addition grid AND they scored a time UNDER 5 minutes!
Congratulations to Sage and Bailey, our newest 100%'ers!

The Winners:

Yesterday Sage and Jayden went to Forest Hill and played in a Girls soccer tournament. It had 8 rounds. The first three rounds were the deciding rounds to see if you got into the cup or the plateround - our team got into the plate round.
We played 8 games altogether and won 6 games and drew 2. In the semi-finals, we had a penalty shootout, because we had played over time, and still nobody had scored a goal. We won the shootout, and went into the finals, where Jayden scored the winning goal!
Fantastic effort, Jayden and Sage!

Homework Rulz!

Room 11 are super students!

Most of the students in Room 11 have been working on our maths, spelling and reading at home every night, because you know what they say...practise makes perfect!

And that's what we are aiming for!

Ms Clydesdale doesn't make us do homework, we don't have to do it, but we want to get better. Samsara has moved up from 56% to 96% in her basic facts!

Maddy has moved up from Level 25 to Level 35 in her spelling.

Sage does her timestables every night.

Katiana does her basic facts and five minute frenzies every night, and she has improved on her basic facts from 39% to 59%.

Sian does her basic facts and spelling every night. Her basic facts facts have gone from 50% to 70%, and she is becoming very successful in learning her spelling words.

Ben does his timestables every night, and his spelling on Tuesdays and Thursdays. He has improved 23% in spelling and in multiplication he has improved 43%, and in basic facts, he has improved 12%. He is focussing on his speed in his multiplication timestables.

Ms Clydesdale is blown away with all this homework happening at home every night, and especially on the massive improvements that the class is making!

Go Room 11!

Dog wise poem:

Success at the Syndicate Speech Competiton!

Sage said that it was nervewracking at the beginning and when she got up there, it was fun. Jayden went really well. Sage was about to cry when Sharon was saying her speech, and Samuel's spoke enthusisastically.

Sage is hoping that someone is sick or pulls out so that she can be the reserve.

Only 6 people went through to the school's speech finals and 3 of them are from Room 11!

Well done Room 11!

Successful Speech Competition!

The final session of Room 11's speech competition was held this morning after morning tea, with our special adjudicators, Rose and Arabella.

Maddy, Sage and Samuel were the top Year 5 speeches, with Ben as reserve. The Year 6 competition was very tough, with Jayden, Phoebe, Briana and Sharon being choosen, and Maygan is the reserve.

We were also lucky that three parents came and enjoyed our speeches. Hopefully, we will have more parents watching next Friday, when we compete against the other Year 5 and Year 6 students .

Sullivan's Champions!

Today we went to the Sullivan's Tournament at View Road School in Waiuku. Sullivan's is an inter-school competition for Uni-Hoc and soccer.
We versed Aka Aka, Otaua, View Road 1 and 2, and Waiuku 2 in soccer. Our team won every single game we played, therefore, we assume we won the tournament for soccer.
Out of all our games, the last games was awkward, because we versed our own school and there were no bibs, so we couldn't tell who was who!

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!
