And we've done it again!!

Room 15 has been awarded the Year 8 lunchtime sport trophy for taking out the Touch Rugby competition. Awesome effort from the class..it can be a struggle to field a team when there are so many things on at lunchtimes at HNI.

Next competition is handball...time for netballers to shine!

Technology Challenge afternoon

In order to select a team of fine Room 15 students for the school technology challenge, we held a technology challenge face off this afternoon. The challenge was to create a solution using a very limited array of resources..with a group of people who may or may not be thinking along the same lines.
I have used Flipagram to give a snapshot of our process!
Our final class team are: Liam, Lucas, Amy and Laura- Awesome team work!

He aha tenei? What is that?

With a focus on te wiki o te reo Maori, Room 15 has decided to share some of our recent learning. We have been learning how to ask what something is. It is trickier than it sounds because the placement of the object influences the vocabulary used to ask the question.
Anastacia and I had a go at sharing our learning using puppetpals. Thanks Anastacia for letting me share our creation on the class blog!

He aha tenei? (what is this..object being held by person asking the question)
He aha tena? (what is that...object being held by another person, of whom the question is being asked)
He aha tera? (what is that...the object is removed from both the person asking the question and the person answering)

Check out other examples on individual blogs...there are some really creative ones!
