First Syndicate Assembly

Last week on Tuesday Room 12 hosted the first assembly of 2017. 
There was a dance battle between 2 to 3 people from each class.
Room 12 - Mika, Saluselo and Lupe
Room 11 - Meafou and Teremoana
Room 10 - Dominic and Peni
Room 9 -  Maniarose and Diego

It was really funny when the children from each room started dancing. All of the children tried very hard but unfortunately on one class could win. Room 10 won because the whole senior block had a vote and most of the children chose this class.

We sang 2 songs and the songs were called 'Smile And Be Happy' and 'Lean On Me'. 'Smile And Be Happy' is about living life to the fullest. 'Lean On Me' is about if you need a friend you can 'Lean On Me'.

What Am I Proud Of?

In writing I learnt how to use paragraphs. I have read a lot so my reading age is higher than my age in reading. In maths I’ve learnt my 7, 8 and some of my 9 times table.

I’m proud of everything I have learnt in Room 10.

I liked the solar oven because we got to cook and we got to eat what we cooked.

Celebrating teamwork

Here is the movie that our group made to celebrate teamwork and success. We worked together to make our plan and the cake. Later I created the beat using Button Bass.
