Room 21 were so excited that we succeeded in our break out. We had to put our good thinking skills to use to solve riddles and problems to break out of a locked box in 40 minutes. 

In Room 21 we have been focusing on persuasive writing and what amazing writers we have! They put their skills to use and had to convince Miss Tordeich that their doughnut flavour was the one to win flavour of the month for a pretend store. Each doughnut design was unique and creative and well done to Doris for winning the competition! 

We brainstormed in groups first with given doughnuts, we had to try and convince our peers that our one was the perfect choice!

Then we made our own design each. Here's some of our publishing...

On Friday we went to Auckland Zoo to learn about animal adaptations. We had such a fun day! Here is a few of our highlights. Some things we learned were...

"Elephants walk on their tiptoes"-Diamon
"Elephants send vibrations through the ground to talk to other elephants"-Oliver
"Crocodiles have a v shaped snout and the alligator has a u shaped mouth"- Rose
"Snakes can camouflage and they have different patterns"-Loretta
"Camouflage means that they can blend in with their natural habitat"-Doris

In Room 21 we have some fabulous writers! We have been focusing on descriptive writing and using adjectives and similes to enhance our writing. We did some writing on the best part of me, here are a few students pieces 

Last term for teach the teacher we had Alex showing us about electrical circuits and Anita showed us how to make sushi with her Mum. Yum!!

Last term we had our trash to fashion show! It was so exciting making our costumes and we got to show our parents and the other classes our final product in a fashion parade. We have so many talented and creative students in Room 21. Here are some photos of our designs
