Today in art we made colour wheels with Mrs. Groom using hand prints. We got together with our buddies and painted our hands with primary colours. Primary colours are Yellow, Blue and Red.
We then printed our hand prints with the primary colours, making sure that two hand prints over lapped each other making a secondary colour. Secondary colours are Green, Orange and Purple.
We learnt that when two primary colours mix they make a secondary colour.
Like......
Yellow + Red = Orange
Blue + Red = Purple
Blue + Yellow = Green.

Education outside the Classroom - Lake Pupuke
In Room 29, we are looking at challenging ourselves and learning new things. As part of that learning we went to Lake Pupuke last Tuesday, the 1st of March to try our hands at some learning outside the classroom. We did a lot of cool fun things like raft building, making pancakes, building camp fires and adventure based activities and games that required lots of team work and problem solving strategies.
All of us ended up challenging ourselves in one way or another and some of us found all the things challenging, but fun at the same time. For the majority of us racing the rafts we had built was the highlight of the day.
We consider ourselves very lucky, as we got to do all those fun things, while we remembered that it was exactly a week since Christchurch had, had the terrible earthquake and the people there are still meeting challenges of their own. We wish them strength to carry on and rebuild their city and wish we could have more such cool fun learning days outside the classroom.

Math is Fun
In Room 29 we have been looking at making different types of graphs.
We did not know math can be so much fun, until our teacher Mrs. Sidhwa brought small packets of smarties for each and every one of us. That day we had heaps of fun learning and making column graphs, not to mention getting to eat them too.
Here is a slide show for you to see how you can make math fun too. Enjoy !

Our school fair
We had a special visitor "Clifford - The Red Dog" come to visit us on Friday the 11th June. Clifford had come to our school because we are holding a scholastic book fair. When Clifford came to our class he brought 3 books with him and then choose one Mrs. Sidhwa (our teacher) could read to all of us. He chose the book called "The Strong Wolf". The story was about a wolf who bullies all the forest animals to say that he is the strongest in the woods, but then comes across a dragon and learns his lesson of never bullying again. It was a good story and we enjoyed listening to it with Clifford by our side. The Scholastic Fair will continue all of next week and we can buy them by choosing any book from all the fabulous books on display in our library. We love having this book fair at our school because Point View Children love to read !

Room 29's chopstick popcorn eating race.
In Room 29 we are learning about Ancient China, and we learnt that Chinese people use chopsticks to eat their food. Since most of us had never used a chopstick we decided to use it. This led our teacher to get some popcorn which we made in class and then using our chopsticks we started our popcorn eating race. We had heaps of fun trying to eat our popcorn with chopsticks. Some of us were better than others, but ALL of us had heaps of fun !

Welcome to our Room 29 blog! Today we learned that a blog is short for 'weblog', or a log on the web! We will be recording what we have done in class on this blog, so please keep visiting!
A group of us from Room 29 became experts in blogging today so we can teach the rest of the class.
