Quality Blog Comments

In Room 5 we have been learning to write quality blog comments. We have been practicing in class, and on peoples blogs.

We also had a go at the Manaiakalani Cybersmart Challenge number 17. Here is the post we completed.

Fake food in Room 5

Today in Room 5 we had loads of fun making images with the website Remove.bg! 

We uploaded images of ourselves pretending to eat, and used Remove.bg to erase the background.

Next we found images of food we wanted to (pretend) to eat.

Found a background that matched.

...and Boom! Fake food! 

Try it out yourself at Remove.bg

Cybersmart Posters

This week for Cybersmart we made posters about ourselves using Google Draw. We loved doing this task as we got to be creative and found pictures of all of our favourite things. 

Here are a few examples of our work.

Simple Machines Experiment

Room 5 have been learning all about simple machines. We have been carrying out different experiments to test our simple machines. Here are a few photos of our experiments.

  

Animal Profiles

This week for Reading we finished our Animal Profiles. These helped us to name our reading groups. Our reading group names are the Leopards, Coyotes, Sloths and Hyenas. We had so much fun researching these animals and showing them to our parents at Student Led Conferences.

 

Easter Work

Last week we completed an Easter activity with Mrs Millward. We had so much fun making Easter Bunnies by tracing our hands. As a class we discussed our observations and made bar graphs using these. We hope you all had a great Easter break like we did.

Picasso Faces

 This week Miss Linke came in and taught us all about the famous artist, Picasso. We made our own Picasso faces and used a range of different shapes in these. We used pastels to colour our faces in and we are getting better at using these. This was so much fun and we loved how they all turned out. 

Class Statistical Investigation

 This week we started a class wide statistical investigation in maths. Our aim was to get to know all of our students in our class better. Miss White asked us a range of questions and we had to answer these on a Post-It note. We had to split this into quarters and write our answers in the correct box. 

We had a lot of fun sticking our notes on the whiteboard and drawing the tally charts using the results. We have now started to draw our bar graphs based on our tally charts. 

Here are some of our answers. Can you guess what questions Miss White asked?

Class of 2021

Welcome to Room 5's class blog. This week we drew self portraits to display on the wall. We learned how to use pastels and not smudge them. See our portraits below.
