Cooking in Specialist Classes

                                   Tech 2010!

This term (term 2) half of room 7 are in Cooking for Technology. Some of the recipes we have made are Stuffed Potatoes, Easy Quiche, Fudge Pudding, Apple and Chocolate Chip Muffins, Combination Noodles and much more!  They were delicious! Most students favourite food was the Chocolate Fudge.  Each term we change Specialist Classes; there is Woodwork, Performing Arts, Art and Cooking.  In term 1 this half of the class was in Woodwork.   While the other half of the class were in Performing Arts, they are now in Art.  

The people in cooking made Combination Noodles, and we dressed up with Japanese plaits and hats! 

Watch out for awesome posts coming up!!!

OUR ART CLASS

Hi I'm Ethan and I'm doing art. Today I'm drawing the moon. Our art teacher is called Mrs Packer and she teaches us different drawing techniques and two point perspective and how to look at art differently.

                                                     Hi I'm Kane 

and I do art just

 like Ethan. As he 

may have mentioned Mrs Packer  is our art teacher. Art is

 one of my favourite subjects.

This is a picture that Ethan drew and it is of a vampire woman. 

"The art teacher Mrs Packer let me take home a book filled with cool pictures to draw. This picture is one 

of five that I drew."

 

And this is Mikaela. There is a school production coming up

 and and Mikaela is painting some wood-lines so it looks very realistic.

This is Arataki's drawing. He drew it for his space-cape. It is a picture of an alien. He had more of these pictures but we didn't take photo's of them. 

And now we have to say good bye! I'm Kane and I'm Ethan! OVER and OUT!!!

Environmental Documentary on Sustainability of the World's Resources.

This is a photo of  Dubai, an artificial island.

The topic this term is Environmental Science. 

We watched a movie about the earth. It was called "Home".

We were asked to write five things we found interesting and

 five questions that we had. Here are some things that we found interesting.

1. Dubai has an artificial island.

2. 70% of gas can not form in our lungs.

3. 14,000 litres of water is used to make rice.

4. One in four lives live like they used to years ago. 

This is a photo of a dead sea.

And five questions that we still have are.

1. How do volcanoes explode ?

2. What is a dead sea?

3. How does it get dark?

4. How did the first animal form?

5. How was the first human formed ? 

6. How did we get on  earth ?

We learned about the life cycle of earth and how we formed in to a big world.

  

     

Cricket Skills with Mr. Hoskings!

For the next six weeks, Room 7 will be doing Cricket Skills with Mr. Hoskings from Nelson Cricket.

He has already taught us how to throw a ball and catch like a cricket player.

He also taught us how to hit the ball like a cricket player. Next time we have cricket skills, at the end we will play a game of cricket. The first session with Mr Hoskings was really fun but a bit hot outside. We cant wait till our next session! Also at the very end of the six weeks of Cricket Skills the Room 7 students will get an Assessed Certificate.

Numeracy in room 7

Room 7 Numeracy!

In Room 7 we were put into our maths groups: Triangles,    Squares 

and Circles. We all have our own Group boxes and Problem solving boxes. We all take turns with Ms Rodman on the mat for a lesson while the other groups do group boxes or activity sheets. We are in our own class for maths for two terms, then we go back into our own old maths class! 

On Tuesday we were set a task. One of the groups got given a piece of paper each and had to fold it into quarters, eighths etc to look at Equivalent Fractions. We all had different strategies. We learn Numeracy on Monday's, Tuesday's, Wednesday's and Thursday. We also recently learnt how to add fractions!   See you later

Fifeshire Responsibility

                    Fifeshire Responsibility

As this terms virtue is 'responsibility', room 7 and eight gathered together on Monday to act out and take some pictures about responsibility!  We were provided with cameras, and got put into teams of 5. We then thought of an idea that demonstrated responsibility. E.g  someone was in the tree and got told to get off!  We had a variety of ideas.... So the five groups reported their work  to the teacher.  She was really impressed with what we had accomplished ! She plugged the cameras into her laptop one by one, then downloaded the pictures. Next session we will add speech bubbles and make them into an interesting comic!
