Waiuku Weekend by Jayden and Samsara

Waiuku is awesome and everyone knows
How the town works and just how it goes.
Crash, the waves go at Karioitahi beach
with black sand and dogs ready to teach.
Then we go to Fitzy's and have a chip,
but beware, it will cost you a bit.
Tomorrow wake up and walk to school,
play on the playground and think you rule.
Your weekend has ended, but don't frown,
just wait unitl Friday and you'll be back in town.

Awhitu's 2km run:

At 10.15am Samsara, Jack and Jayden walked down to the hall, ready for the 2km race for cross-country in Awhitu. They hopped in seperate cars and soon arrived at our destination. They had roundabout half an hour to check our route, warm up and have a little something to eat.
Then a lady gave a humungous speech about the route and how there was going to be marshalls so we wouldn't get lost.
The third race was Samsara and Jayden in the Year 6 girls. Jayden came 9th and Samsara came 17th, that means Jayden is a reserve for Zone Day. The fourth race was Jack's, the Year 6 boys. Jack came 15th, and he felt really good because it was the first time he had been to Group Day.
They felt very proud of themselves, because they got very good placings, because they raced against 5o other children of their age.

Magic Mathletes!

This morning, Sian and Samsara started on the shapes and money on Mathletics. They went from zero points to the 3,000's earning Sian 22nd in the WORLD! and 15th in New Zealand. Samsara was 16th in New Zealand and 23rd in the WORLD!
They feel like magnificent Mathletes!

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!

Speeches!!!

We are all doing persuasive speeches for the WPS Speech competition at the end of this term.

Some people are finishing their drafts, others are practising their speeches in front of the class, so that they can become more confident when they speak in front of the syndicate.

Brooke's speech is about domestic animals, because they keep you company when you are alone. Sharon's speech is very sad, because it's about her mum who passed away from breast cancer. Charis is speaking on illiteracy and why it should be stopped, and Samsara is doing Katy Perry. We have a large range of topics in Room 11 this term. Natasha won the speech competition last year for Year 5 and 6 students - Shontelle is hoping to be at the top with her.

Entering e-folio data:

Samsara is entering her data from all the tests we are doing at the moment, into her e-folio for the parent interviews at the end of this term. The whole class is being tested for their scores and they have to enter their data into their e-folios. Our class is doing well and moving up to higher stages and some need a little bit more practise.
