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...

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!!

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!

Last Friday Rose got to share with the class how something can change from a liquid to a solid and a solid to a liquid by mixing corn flower, food colouring and water. It was a fun experiment! 

In Room 21 we have been learning about the water cycle. We wanted to see how water evaporates so we did an experiment where we could see for ourselves. First we dipped our hands in water then placed them on a hand towel and drew around our hands, we then watched to see over time what was happening to our hand prints.
 

This week Loretta got to teach the teacher. She taught us how to make milos. Yum!

We also did a maths problem solving challenge where students were in a team and raced to solve problems. They needed to hand in their task cards in order to receive the other one. Well done to all the teams, especially Olivers team for taking out first place!
