Meeting Jamie Duff

This afternoon our school got to meet New Zealand SprintCar Champion, Jamie Duff!

We got to ask him some questions and get some pictures taken with him. After we got back inside some of our class got to go outside to the carpark to see the GIGANTIC truck.

Tennis Ball Presentation

This Week while our teachers were away, Mr Robertson gave us the task of creating an advertisement about tennis balls, and why our tennis ball is the best.

I was in a group with Base, Bella, Prudence and Lucy. Our tennis ball name was Swoosh by Ekin Tennis.

Here is Our Presentation.

Spaghetti Challenge

On Tuesday our class had been given the challenge of making a tower out of spaghetti and marshmallows.

The Year 8's had already done this challenge at Tech so we had a bit of an idea of how to do it.

There were 30 pieces of spaghetti and 10 marshmallows per group. And 30 minutes to create your tower.

Our idea was to make boxes with triangles to balance it and then stack them all together, but it didn't go to plan so we basically just gave up. 

Here is a photo of our group trying to make our tower.🤣

Kawa Of Care

For the past two weeks Rimu Class have been learning about Kawa of Care. Kawa of Care is a website where you can find out information about how to keep you safe online and also how to keep your computer safe at school and at home.

Today we got given a task of either making a video, animation, poster etc. explaining one of the things we learnt about the Kawa Of Care.

Here is our Video.

Hope You Enjoy!

First Post for 2017- Our YMS Hero Values

This week we have been revisiting our YMS Hero Values. Our Hero Values stand for:

                                                                                                                

Healthy Individuals

Enthusiastic Learners

Responsible Citizens

Open-Minded Explorers

We are required to follow and respect these values. We had to visit the new HERO site and find one or more values and reasons to make a drama and present it to the class. Laura and I found this difficult because we had no ideas. We found this really embarrassing to present. In the end we chose ¨Responsible Citizens-Pack your own lunch and try new things¨. I hope you enjoy our skit!
