Update by Noah and Amy
Room 7

On Monday we made balloon rockets. To make a balloon rocket get a long bit of string and thread a straw on to it. Now you  get a balloon and blow it up to an average size . Then you tape two pieces of  tape connecting the balloon and the straw. Now blow up  the balloon and let it go let it go can't hold it back any more. We had lot's of fun.
  
Ella and Noah are in a house of straws and connectors. First it was supposed to be a dog house but then it turned into a human house but now it's both.
We played moving target with Mrs Green/Black today. We call her different names because she wears different colours.

Every Friday, Room 14 does Math's Problem Solving. Last weeks challenge was that the children had to make a paper tower that held a tennis ball. It was an interesting exercise with lots of outbursts of frustration!! However, the children persevered, trying new ways and listening well to each others thoughts. They worked in small groups so they were building on their cooperative skills as well.  You're not holding the tennis ball on are your Braedyn?? The learning tower of Mairehau?? Good thinking guys. You took one storey off and hey presto, your tower held up the tennis ball. Ka pai!!

It has been a while since Room 7 posted anything so we have decided to write a post as a class and bring you up to date with all the exciting things that have been happening in our room and in the Year 3/4 team since we last wrote. This term we have had 2 people join our class, Jack H. from Australia and Zara W. from Huntly. During Maths, we have been using our Numicon equipment to help us gain a better understanding of numbers and how they work. It is really cool and lots of fun to use. On a Wednesday afternoon have started a rotation between the Year 3/4 classes. All the teachers are taking a different activity. We spend two weeks having fun with a teacher before moving on to the next class.  In Room 4 Mrs Martin takes Yoga. In Room 14, Mrs Layton takes directed Art activities. Mr White is taking STEM activities in Room 5, these include using Beebots, drones and the iPads. Mr Oliver, in Room 6 is taking Science based activities and in Room 7 Mrs Bibby

Bria's Dad, Peter, came in during the last week of term to read a story to us that he has written, we all thought it was really funny and hope that he does well and manages to get it published.  On the Tuesday of the last week we had an oppo
