Mini Maths Teachers
Last week the Room 17 students planned their own maths lessons to teach one another. They could do it on their own or in pairs. Today 5 groups are being taught. We have Zander teaching how to order 3-digit numbers, Samuel and Zachary are doing addition to 30, Isabel and Simone are doing 5x tables, Shyam and Aidan are working on how to add decimals and Grace is teaching her group about fractions. They are using Kahoot, games, equipment, worksheets and whiteboards to deliver their teaching!

Countdown Calendar
We're counting down to the last day of term. 28 balloons for 28 members of Room 17 and 28 days to go (as of Friday!) I wonder what fun activity is in each of those balloons?
Fireworks Fun
Our hands on homework for week 5 was to have some fun with fireworks! Not real ones, but to draw pictures, write poems, play with some online firework games and to share photos from family Guy Fawkes celebrations. We even had some fireworks made in Minecraft! Here are some of our creations.
Not Perfect Hat Club Skype Date
Today we Skyped a school in Texas to share our thoughts on the Not Perfect Hat Club. Everyone was a bit shy but we talked about apologies and gossip! We even sung our waiata Nga Iwi E. We also found out some things about their school, like the fact they only have recess on Friday's! Tomorrow we are skyping a school in Canada.

Do you think flyball is a good way for Newton to get enough exercise? What lessons do you think Newton will learn from his flyball team?
Yes because dogs have to run around a lot.
Working in a team is much better than working by your self and you learn to be part of a team.
