Room 18 were very lucky to have the lovely Julie Purdon come to help us create some Easter treats at the end of last term.  Here are some of the photos:

                                      

The Red Helicopter!

Today it was windy, it was Wednesday and we were excited. We all were sitting down on the hard concrete. We saw the helicopter come and land on the grassy field. It was loud, its colour was red, yellow and shiny. Everyone got to look inside the helicopter and it was very cool. We saw Nikora going in the helicopter. He said it was very awesome. It was cool because we saw the helicopter launch and I was waving at Nikora. I was on the tower watching it. J

 The 5 children who raised the most money during the Chopper Challenge, and the 5 children who put in their best effort during the fitness sessions got to go in the helicopter for a ride.

 It was huge!

 Room 18 was very excited to see Nikora go in the chopper.

Western Heights raised $10,000 overall.

Collecting Data on Our Blogs

The classes have been combing the school's blogs and tallying up data we have found there - things like the number of posts, comments, widgets, and authors for each class blog. We've combined the skills we gained from our the statistics strand with ICT skills and have produced the work you see below.

You might be interested in the Planning Document that guides the work with the students.

Room 18 in Art

This term we created artwork that frames our whiteboard at the front of the room. We think they look very colourful and show you something about us.






During the ICT class earlier this term, Room 18 created Wordfotos to show our best qualities and the things that are special to us.  We hope you like them.  We discussed what makes us unique and used iPads to create the final image.

Room 18 was very excited to hear that Mrs Noakes had her baby girl yesterday (Sunday 30th March).  Her name is Iona, and Mr Noakes came in to explain that she is named after a small Island in Scotland.  We can't wait to meet her.  Congratulations Mrs Noakes!
