The Random Story

Once in a far away lake there lived a very chubby Unicorn called Scarcesca.  One day she married an octopus called Dave.

On the wedding day Scarsesca released her spider on Dave's tenticles and Dave freaked out and ran home. Luckily this was after the  ceremony so legally they were now married. Then as Scarseca was walking out she set free her pet cockroaches right infront of the only door and kept walking. Everyone got terribly scared of the cockroaches and sprinted out of the church. However as they tried to exit they slipped on the cockroaches and everybody broke at least one bone. What a memorable day!

And they lived happily every after, well almost. Dave got chickenpox, and it rained continuously for 100 days.

Scorching Bay

On Tuesday we went to Scorching Bay with the school.We went litter picking and found a dead puffer fish on the sand.We found a deadly black wasp that is 10 times worse than  a normal wasp. After morning tea we built sand castles in groups. One group built a sand mermaid and a sand Person!!!

We played beach cricket, sunbathed, dug holes, buried people, and some of us went swimming. The water was freezing cold but we soon got used to it.

The whole day was a great way to meet our Whanau groups and make new friends.

Rogaine

Last week on Thursday our class went to the botanic gardens to do rogaine. The whole syndicate joined us. Some of the parents helped us work out the problems. Rogaine is a scavenger hunt but you have to find answers to the end of the clues.

 We started at the top of the botanic gardens and ended at the bottom of it. Some questions were easy, Some were hard. But everyone had fun. The groups were from 3 to 5 people in a group.I (Katie) was with my friends Charlotte, Meredith and Charlotte's Mum. I (Kirin) had Guy, Annika,Ruby, me and my dad.It was really fun and it let us learn more.

We also presented our learning at assembly. Check our our presentation:

Hour of Code

This week Room 10 took part in Hour of Code. This is a world wide event introducing people to the power of code.

Some reflections from participants in Room 10:

"Code.org is such a good way to learn how to code. It teaches you how to make things move and happen" - Katie

"On the Khan Academy website we have been drawing a face and we could put pieces of the face as tall or wide as we wanted. Coding allows you to make choices of your picture or text" - Maddalena

"Code is a great way to learn about computers and it is also very fun!" - Meredith

"Coding sometimes can be complicated but most of the time it is fun" - Sonia

"Coding is an exciting thing that you do with numbers to explore shapes to make a picture" - Grace

"I like it how you can put blocks together and you can create your own game" - William

"I enjoyed making this game because it's a bit like a puzzle" - Guy
