Term 4 - Week One Welcome back everyone! We have started the term well and boy is it going to be a busy one! We had road patrol training for those students who will be doing this duty next year as year sixes and as Mrs Martin was lucky enough to help with this on Friday, I was really impressed at the students who stood up and showed assertiveness and confidence. They will make great road patrollers! Star of this week goes to William Jones! Well done William, you are a lovely student, who is kind, caring and considerate and as I also learnt this week - a great actor! Congrats William. Next week is Athletics Day on Wed. Please check your childs notice that went home on Thursday for more information on this.

Week 8 - Room 6b has had a fabulous week at ART with Mrs Murray this week making clowns. They started by researching clowns in the IT suite and then they painted paper using squiggy lines and patterns. The next day we used this paper as put of our clown design. They look fabulous and Mrs Martin cant wait to be able to hang them up in the classroom. We also had our last session of swimming. The students have had a great time at the swimming lessons provided by the council and it is great to see them spending the money to upskill our students swimming abilities. With just two weeks to go of Term 3 we have lots coming up. Next week Tuesday is cross country - please ensure your child has a water bottle, a T-shirt in the colour of their house, shorts, and a jersey to put on afterwards. Also next week the students have a poem to learn off by heart and a prose piece to learn confidently instead of regular homework. There will be no other homework next week. Star of the week this week goes to Delara. She is a conscientious student who is kind and caring towards others and always tries her very best. Well done Delara.

Week 7 - Term 3 I hope you are all enjoying the Rugby World Cup and from the photos that I have seen this week, the koru design and Wakaaranga Opening Ceremony Celebration held last Friday was a real success. Some of the highlights from this week have been - a walk through of the cross crountry in preparation for Week 9s Cross Country, Rugby Skills with Thomas, A visit from Miss Jung (Mrs Mist), swimming and of course all the wonderful learning that we have been doing in class. Next week please remember it is the last week of swimming and we will be going on Thursday at 1.30pm. It is also art next week for our class and we will need to take our art shirts on Tues, Wed and Thurs. For those students who dont have one at school, please get this organised before Tuesday. Star of the Week for her excellent all around excellence and effort is Ella Ross. She really goes the extra mile in the presentation of her work, making her work a pleasure to mark. Well done Ella! A true star!

Week 6 - Term 3 Well done to Zoe who is this weeks Star of the Week! She is a dedicated student who always works to the best of her ability. A quiet achiever, it is wonderful to see Zoe's positive attitude towards school and her learning.

Week 5 Term 3 - Wow 1/2 way through the term and it is just flying by! We have had a terrific week with the speech finals for year 5 and 6 held on Monday. Ella did room 6b very proud and once again congratulations to her for her wonderful accomplishments. This week we continued our focus on newspapers and looking at the importance of headlines to gain the readers attention. We focussed on forces in Landscape Learning and completed a science experiment to demonstrate this. The students really enjoyed investigating the science questions asked of them. Many just loved blowing up the balloons and letting them go!!! Well done to Ibadat who is this weeks star of the week. He has impeciable manners and works so hard during class time. He really is a good role model for other students. Next week will see the start of the Rugby World Cup. To celebrate we would like all students to wear BLACK on FRIDAY. Please get behind the All Blacks and bring in flags to support the All Blacks.

Week 4 Term 3 This week it was Room 6bs turn to present a syndicate assembly to the rest of year five. Well done everyone. You all worked hard at learning your lines and the people in the play did a great job preforming. Well done to James, Cameron, Gareth and Rino who recieved class awards this week. Rino is the star of the week this week and we commend him for his excellent attitude, effort and caring nature towards others in the class. This afternoon the Koreans left us after a 4 week stay. We have made many new friends and we will miss them. Swimming was successful again today with many of the beginners making excellent progress. Well done. Please note that there has been a small increase in stationery and this will take effect 1 Sept. Please ask your child to check the price list before purchasing items from the office.

A special congratulations to Ella who will be representing out class at the Year 5 and 6 speech finals in a few weeks time. The competition was extremely tough and all 3 did a fabulous job!

WEEK ONE Welcome back to school everyone and term three! What a busy one it is going to be! We are starting next week with 3 way conferences. Parents if you havent booked your time please do see with the code LLFYB - at the website [|www.schoolinterviews.co.nz]. I look forward to meeting with you all again soon. For these interviews your child will be in the drivers seat so to speak. I know from past experience that the students really enjoy sharing their progress and achievements with you.

There is no homework for Week One as the students are working on their speeches and will be presenting these in class. Please help your child get ready for the presentation of their speech by listening to them and giving them feedback. They should be able to use eye-contact when speaking to their audience. Thank you for all your hard work over the holidays assisting your child with their speech. media type="youtube" key="O2JSVFDYvgw" height="345" width="420" Room 6b at Move and Groove 2011 Week Seven Term Two What a fabulous book week we have had. Thank you to all those students who bought items from the library book fair and those of you who dressed up on Wednesday and took part in the fun games afternoon we had on Wednesday. The performance on Tuesday - 'Jump to It' was also well appreciated by the students who had paid to see this. I believe it gave them food for thought and helped them to think about the importance of reading a good book. It encouraged the students to read and escape into the world of books rather than play computer games. Sadly this week is Miss Jungs last. We have thoroughly enjoyed having her in our class, teaching us many new things and we wish her all the best for her up coming wedding and teaching career. Thank you once again, Miss Jung! Have a lovely weekend everyone!

Week Six All the children completed AsTtle testing this week and will now be assessed against the National Standards. We will share this information with parents at the upcoming parent conferences. The Year 5 and 6 Netball team played Point View School and won 11 - 5. Well done to Gareth and Ella who are in the team from our class. This weeks ICT task seems to be a hit with the students and they will be continuing to work on their Glogsters on Scotland over the coming weeks. Please get your child to share their work with you. Next week is book week! If you wish to purchase a book from the book fair held in the school library you can do so in the mornings before school starts or after school up until Friday. All proceeds go to the school library. Next week is Miss Jung's last week. We wish her all the best with her teaching career and are very sad that she is leaving us. All the students have loved having two teachers in the classroom! media type="custom" key="9598638" width="200" height="200" align="right"

Week Five - Term Two Miss Jung has had another week on full control and I must say she is doing a fabulous job with the students in Room 6b. The students are loving having a break from Mrs Martin and are enjoying the new and exciting ideas she is bringing. Crab ball is an absolute favourite and a great reward for working so hard. Well it certainly has been another busy week and we are halfway through Term 2. This week has seen Room 6b learning about Hyperthermia and Hypothermia, working on writing creative narratives, researching 'Scotland' and making great improvements on our Move 'n' Groove item! Next week is testing week, therefore we need to have early nights so that we are ready and alert for our test the following morning. Parents please help us with this. A reminder that it is book week in week 7 and the performance money for 'Jump into it!' ($4.50) is due in please. Have a wonderful weekend everyone.

Week Three - Term Two This week Room 6B have been practicing their skills as budding Picaso's! With art on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday Mrs Martin feels like she has hardly seen her class! I hope everyone enjoyed making their clay masks and I look forward to seeing them once they have been fired and glazed. With winter winds chilling us all please reminder to bring your sweatshirt everyday from now on. Week Two - Term Two This week Room 6B have focused closely on writing creative character descriptions. We have looked closely at using synonyms and interesting adjectives to describe characters in our narrative writing. Miss Jung has taken lessons on The history of St Johns and the students have learnt many facts to do with this. During class IT sessions everyone has been working hard on their information reports on Weather and their vokis for their wiki page. Dont forget to check out your child's or show it to your mum and dads. Our Year Five Assembly went off without a hitch this morning and there were many compliments about our wonderful singing from the other teachers! Well done everyone. Next week we get to go to Art with Mrs Murray, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings, so it is really important we all remember our art shirts. Please bring them in Monday morning.

Week One - Term Two Wow! What a busy first week it has been! Welcome back to Miss Jung who is a student at the University of Auckland. She is in her last year of teacher training and will soon gradulate. Miss Jung will be with us for the next 7 weeks. We look forward to her teaching us! St. Johns Ambulance came this week and we all learnt a lot about basic first aid. Mrs Martin was very worried when she came back from waterwise and saw all the injured patients!!!! There was lots of blood! Goals for Term 2 have been written and all students can now work hard at achieving these.

The Year Five Assembly will be next Friday. Tell your parents to come along and watch all the Year Fives singing the water cycle songs that we have been learning.

This weeks 'Star of the Week' is William
Well done William! He has been trying hard to be the very best he can be!
