Term 3 Week 5

St Johns Course











Term 3 Week 5

A Big Congratulations to Ashlin and Anastasia who represented Room 9 in the School Speech Run Off. Ashlin took out the senior section and will now represent Hampstead School at the Rotary Speech Night.


Term 3 Week 4

We have been learning how to make our writing more interesting by writing complex sentences. These are two ideas that are connected by a conjunction like a super glue gluing two ideas together. We watched a video on a motorbike rider surfing a wave and then wrote sentences using conjunctions about it.

I felt the freezing cold water splashing on me as if I was doing the ice bucket challenge. De-Lyna


If only I knew the waves were coming towards me while I was gliding on the glistening water. Ashley


As the people drowned in the water the only one who had survived was the fairest of them all and it's the best motorbiking man. Justine & Marie


This dude is crazy but also very brave because of the way he rides over that glistening water. Ashlin


My heart was pounding when the waves almost crashed into me but I managed to survive. Maria


The waves were scary and one trapped me in so I stepped on the gas and slid out like a boss. Riley C


Today was the day, I had never seen someone riding across the sparkling sea but I was so scared because it was going so fast. Apache

Term 3 Week 2

JAPANESE STUDENTS VISIT ROOM 9
We were lucky enough to have a visit from some of the students from Japan who have been at Ashburton College. They told us a story about 'Tanabata' - the story of two stars. We each then made a different decoration to put on our bamboo tree to celebrate this festival. We really enjoyed the Japanese students visit.
