Week 6

Hi Team
It's Sunday night...where did the weekend go? What did you all get up to? I won't be into school tomorrow, Thomas has a hacking nasty cough and needs to stay away from his centre...yucky...hopefully he doesn't sneeze, cough or spit all over me (unlikely though!)

Please make sure you focus on your mega maths facts this week and your science fair...you ALL should be at the investigation phase of ASPIRE, which means the testing, making and analyzing phase...you've only got 20 school days before it is due in...DON'T worry about what your science fair board is going to look like yet...we will spend time in class on this...

I hope you read this before you see me on Tuesday, please leave a comment if you do!

I'll load the HP photos soon too, did anyone make some at home over the weekend?

Be good, see you soon
Ms D

83%

So close...yet so far! We have improved from 64% to 83% in our mega maths month testing, but we did not meet the elusive *86%* this week in order to earn a choccie bar! Do you think you can do it for Friday?
I am looking for a solid 90% as a class average!

The top five photos from Room 7 have gone into the Otago Museum Photography Comp, a huge well done to all of you and to our 5 finalists: Lola, Matthew, Riley, Nic and Jake G, keep a look out for a display going up in the foyer of the school with a sample of our amazing photographs.

Finally, well done to Jaidyn for earning a certificate in this week's assembly, we are proud of you Jaidyn for your commitment to learning your X tables.

Mega maths month

You are all doing so well learning your times tables, our baseline score was 64% and after one week of learning and testing we have gone up to 76% which is fantastic, I wonder if we can reach 86% on Friday? Chocolate Bars all round if we can!

Remember there are so many awesome websites out there that can help you! Check out the links on on the side!

See you tomorrow!

More Orokonui Photos

Photo comp

WOW! check out these AWESOME photos!

Remember what Kerry Kelk told us? It is not the camera but the photographer! Top effort team!

These are all so creative and well thought out! I'll explain the 'voting' process tomorrow but Parents...if you would like for your top 5 pics...then add a comment below and your votes will be counted also.....We will send 5 from Room 7 into the comp...so get thinking about which photos have a good amount of light, interesting angles, an unusual subject matter and clarity!
