Marshmallow Challenge

Yesterday Room 13 took part in the Marshmallow Challenge. We had to create a freestanding structure that would hold a marshmallow. We were only allowed 20 spaghetti sticks, 1metre of string, 1 metre of tape and a marshmallow.  We only had 18 minutes. We had to work collaboratively to be successful.  The winning team managed to build a 46cm structure. Well done everyone.

Maori Greetings

We're now known as Dynamic Dragons!

After a 3 week process we've come up with a name that represents our community. Congratulations to Olivia's Inquiry group who came up with our winning name: "The Dymanic Dragons". Here's the slide show we used to announce our name to the school:

Fantastic Football

On Wednesday on this week (wk 4), Room 13 had a great football session run by two people from 'Football for Children'. We took part in football matches and practised our goal shooting skills.

Big Feet Maths Investigations

We have been investigating the size of Room 13's feet.

Some of us explored the comparison between peoples foot size and their height, others explored the differences between people's foot size and their gender.

Here are some short videos, showing you our results.

Digital Citizenship Memes

We have been learning about Digital Citizenship. We have made some memes about being a 

good digital citizen. 

When you are online, make sure you stick to our memes.

Community Assembly

Today we had our first community assembly. Room 13 led the other classes in a great assembly with singing sharing and certificates. It was fun to be together. Here's a photo of our first certificate recipients.
