Our Audience

It is quite cool on blogger.com that you can see where your audience comes from. While most of our views are from New Zealand (as you would expect...), we also have had views from some very interesting places as well. Here are the percentage of viewers from each country:

NZ - 75.7%
Russia - 12%
Germany - 7%
USA - 3.4%
China - 0.8%
South Korea - 0.6%
Brazil - 0.2%

I wonder why the highest view count after New Zealand is Russia? 

Have a wonderful holiday! Remember that BYOD officially starts on the first Monday back and that our trip to the Maritime Museum is the second day back.

See you next term :D.

 The Change of Room 5

In Room 5 we have moved all our furniture around. First we talked about were things should go and we came up with this:  

We had a fun time moving the furniture. We put the Teacher's desk in the middle, so that she could see everyone and conference with people more easily. We created the different subject areas to help our learning by working collaboratively with people who are working on the same subject as we are. The tote trays are at the back of room to keep them out of the way, but so they are still easy to get to. We used the tote trays to create a little separate area where people can work on devices that need to be plugged in. We are proud of what we created and we think it will help our learning - we'll let you know!

I hope you like how we designed our room.

 Room 5’s Amazing Classroom

On Wednesday 19 April, Miss Williams told us to pull all of the furniture to the front of the room. We were very confused, but we did it. She then told us that we were responsible for designing the layout of the room to help us with our learning. When we first found out that we were changing the classroom’s look, some people were so amazed.

After lunch we made a plan of where we wanted each space to be and how to set out the furniture.

Here’s a picture of what our plan looked like:

Then this is the end result. Do you like how our new classroom looks?

Welcome to Room 5!

Welcome to the Room 5 blog! This will be a place for us to share our learning with you and for you to catch up with what we are up to. We would love it if you could leave us comments about our work - what you like, what could be improved, and any questions that you have about what we are doing. We have lots of exciting things planned for our Year 5 year and we can't wait to share them with you!

Below is our class Treaty. We all discussed the kind of room we wanted to be a part of. Here is what we decided on:

We want Room 5 to be:

·   respectful of adults, peers, equipment and the environment.

·   students who take pride in their work, their presentation, their classroom and their school.

·   a class who gives anything a go, never gives up and always tries their hardest.

·   a self-motivated class who manage their time effectively, and show initiative and independence.

·   a caring and supportive class who work together to meet their goals.

We are looking forward to a great year!

Love,

The children of Room 5
