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. 

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

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

We have started our growth mindset maths day challenges every Friday. We have been learning how to work in groups and that our brain grows when we make mistakes and that it is okay to make mistakes.
Here was one of our challenges for Maths last week where we had to interpret this graph as a team. We came up with some fantastic ideas so that next week we can make our own!

Room 21 have been also inquiring about how we are harming the earth. This week we looked at what waste can do to the earth if left in the landfill. We learned that a plastic jug takes over a million years to decompose. WOW 

Well done to Loretta for achieving all these awards in the Auckland Inter school Gymnastics. We were so proud of you!!

Last Friday Doris got to teach the teacher. She taught us how to make these awesome glitter globes!

Here's some of our writing that Room 21 have been working really hard on. We did some writing on when we were sick and made poetry pops for our senses poem.

Last week Regan got to teach the teacher. Wow such a great experiment! 

This Monday for maths week Room 21, 20 and 16 did a pac man challenge where they were in teams and were given a certain amount of math challenges that they needed to complete. If they had completed a challenge they got some stick it notes to make a pac man displayed on our class window. They teams did so well!
