2016 Highlights

During the last few weeks of Term 4, R5 took some time to reflect on 2016. We realised what a great year we have all had and we all felt a little bit sad that our time together was coming to an end. As a class we created a presentation of our 2016 highlights.
Thank you to everybody who has visited our blog! Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! See ya next year.

Genius Hour Presentations #2

Aniva is really interested in the basket baller Michael Jordan. Check out what she found out during genius hour.

Lenaya was very keen to find out where books came from. She presented her information so well. She even wore a moustache to look like Johann Gutenberg.

End of Year Picnic

Yesterday our outdoors picnic was cancelled due to the unpredictable Auckland weather. Luckily we were able to meet in the quad, share some food and play some games.

R5's Mannequin Challenge Attempt

"Please can we do the mannequin challenge before the end of the year?" Room 5 pleaded on Friday. So here it is. R5's attempt at the mannequin challenge. I say attempt because they didn't quite achieve success but they had a lot of fun trying. There was far too much giggling but it was Friday afternoon! Check it out!
