My Chart for Sports

This is my Chart that me and (my partner) did together. Our subject was sports. We asked all of the Room 5 students and got there favourite sports up on our chart. My favourite sport was Rugby because I like learning new sports. The least favourite in our chart was Basketball. The highest in our chart is Soccer and most of the people that picked soccer were the boys. I think that soccer is a really good choice because when you practice you can get better and better and you can join a soccer team when you get older. There were 16 for soccer, 6 for rugby, 4 for cricket, 0 for basketball and 4 for Netball.

My Quiz Results

This is my Quiz Results. I think that I am very proud of myself because I have tried my hardest to getting 100% but instead I got 60%.  I think that 60% is better than getting nothing because when you get nothing that means that you haven't achieved anything, but other than that I am very proud of my self for trying as hard as I can.

My Touch Story

Today for touch rugby we had to be split in 4 teams. There were 2 teams of boys and 2 teams of girls. The girls had to verse the other team. The team that I was in was New South Wales. New South Wales was just a made up team that the girls in my team made up and agreed to. In the first game I ran across the try line but I still made it a try. We had to swap with a the boys and the boys got a few tries. Afterwards we were had to go on to verse but then after we only had a little turn but no one scored a try. So then it was boys turn and while they were playing I gathered my team together and told them a plan of mine. Suddenly Jharda'e had to come because we had to go back to where Mrs Eeles can see us so then we sat down. Finally it was our turn and when I finally got the ball I told Caitlin to go and cross from me because that was my plan so then I pretended to pass it to Caitlin and then I ran forward and scored the last try for New South Wales. After all I think that game was pretty awsome

My Maths Whizz Results

This is my Maths Whizz Question that I had to solve. I got this question right by counting in 10's. I think that I am very proud of myself for getting this question right.

My Production Reflection

My Reflection on our Production Item

What is the storyline of our Production?
Room 5’s segment in the school production is a story about a Maori Legend Rangi Sky Father and Papa Earth Mother. They decided to send their four sons to look at the new Earth. Aoraki (Latham), Rakiroa (Creedence), Rakirua (Cyprus) and Rarakiroa (Thomas) came to Rangi. They went in a waka to explore the world. They  sailed day and night in the waka. Aoraki was pushed onto one of the rocks by the wind. The brothers sat and sat. The canoe turned into a long piece of land. The turned old, their hair turned from black to white, and their bodies turned into great stone mountains. Aoraki became the highest mountain and his brothers became smaller mountains around him.



Who are the  actors and Who are the backstage hands who makes the props and puts things on stage?
The main characters in Room 5’s Production is the Narrator (Angel), Hine Nui I te Po (Fine), Rangi Sky Father (Halaiano), Papa Earth Mother (Lavinia), Tuterakiwhano (Patrick) and Aoraki and his three brothers. The role that I play is the Mokopuna with Caitlin, OhS’mar and Jasmine. When we act in the production we have to sail with Tuterakiwhano (Patrick) and we stop sailing we have to tell Tuterakiwhano what to plant and where to plant the things. The main teachers who helped make the props were Miss Paton, Mrs Kelly, Miss Nichol and Miss Ema. The main students that helped were all of the students from Room 5. Also when were acting the props are sometimes on the stage or some people wear their own costumes.


What role is Room 5 taking in the school Production?
In the school production our Performance is about the Southern Alps. Our production is basically about Aoraki and his three brothers that explores the world before it finishes.



What props need to be made/completed?
The props that need to be made and done is Hine Nui I Te Po’s (Fine) cape. Also the main thing that needs to be finished is Tuterakiwhano and the Mokopuna waka, also Papa Earth Mother’s (Lavinia) head band and Tuterakiwhano’s (Patrick) head band needs to be done/finished. I also think that the Te Namu’s (Yvette) wings should be done for the production.



How are you making the costumes and other props and are you working alone or as a team? Also what are the costumes made out of?
When we make our costumes we make them out of cardboard and some costumes are made out of plastic. Also when props are made they are made out of paper or some are sticked onto wood like tussock grass, rocks, flaxes and sea creatures. After we finish making the props we add staplers to make it stick together and when we create mountains we use elastic to make it hold everything together. When we make props we work together as a team so when Miss Paton tells us to do the waka for Tuterakiwhano (Patrick) and his Mokopuna we have like 5 - 6 people work together but when its not a hard job to do like paint the tussock grass we do it individually.




Do people who are learning their lines need more practice or are they making good progress?
I think that the actors who have speaking parts don’t need to have anymore practice because every time when we have practice the speakers get better and better, also they get louder and louder.





Are actors using both their voices and bodies to use expression?
When a lot of actors speak in our Room 5 production some people just face the actors and not the audience so I think that it is time for people to face the audience. I also think that when the actors face the audience they should use actions as well. When the actors speak sometimes they don’t use expression, but when Room 5 practises more the speakers like Rangi Sky Father (Halaiano) and the Narrator (Angel) thy get louder and louder all the time.


What needs to be improved?
In our Room 5 production I think that some actors should speak a bit louder because if some parents are right at the back they might not be able to hear you. I also think that when the actors speak they should face the audience and do some actions while they're talking to.

My Volcano Report

Our Volcano Report
By Samantha



A volcano is an opening in the Earth’ s surface. Did you know that the word volcano originally comes from the greek myth, The God of fire, Vulcan.



An erupting volcano can trigger tsunamis, flash floods, earthquakes, mud flows and rockfalls.Fiery mountains are places where magma has reached the surface and new rock is created. When Tectonic plates move it causes eruptions.


Mount Edgecumbe

Its English name was given by Captain James Cook on 2nd November 1769 after Sergeant Edgecombe who was the sergeant of marines on his vessel.The mountain rises to 820 m above sea level.Located 50 km east of Rotorua and three kilometres east of Kawerau.

My Holiday Story.

My Holiday Story
During the holidays my mum and I, got up to go to the Holiday programme. My mum and I woke up really early because my mum works at the holiday program so I had to go because no one stayed at home to look after me so thats why I go to the Holiday Program. When my mum and I went to the Holiday program I saw my best friend Caitlin and her sister Mya. After that some more people arrived. When they came we all went on a Green bus to the movies.

When we were almost there Catlin and I were playing sweet and sour. Sweet and Sour is a game where you have to wave at people and if they wave back your sweet, but if you wave and they don’t wave back your sour. After getting 15 waves we got there just in time and when we got in the building we saw a sign that said Planes and that will be a new movie but similar to Cars, that looked really cool. As we were walking inside the building Caitlin and I had a race to the theatre that we were going to sit in. Caitlin and I went right to the top and sat down.

Soon as Caitlin and I sat down an ad came on about a new movie Planes that I saw when I came in. When I saw that ad I wanted to tell my mum if we can watch that movie but then the movie Epic came on so then I just got my lunch out of my bag and got my Dorito Chips. After that my other friend Evelon her nan bought her some skittles so then she whispered to me “Would you like some skittles” and I said “Yes Please” so she gave me about 6 skittles so I ate them all.
After the movie finished we all went back to the Holiday Programme centre and waited till some childrens parents came and went back home
