We had some good clean fun

since our work has been done.

It is now our turn

to move on as we learn.

What an inspiring year, everyone!

Out of this world!

These are some of the places we would like to visit, or some of the sports stars we think we shall be ...

A festival of film

Such excitement attending our first ever Manaiakalani Film Festival at Sylvia Park this morning!  Sitting in our luxurious "Extreme" seats, we watched films about the last apple, learning at school, a lonely dragon, battling penguins and GoPro sporting action.  Check out all of the movies at: https://sites.google.com/a/ptengland.school.nz/film-festival-2011/view-films/2014.

Our Pasifika Images

Check out our slideshow of Pixlr images about Pasifika culture.  We have learnt about the different drawing tools in Pixlr and how to save and share our images.

Digital Art

Today we were learning how to create some digital art using Pixlr on the Chromebooks.

Cross-country 2014

Thank you, Nelly, for creating our audio.

Getting ready for cross-country

Our fitness is improving as we practise for cross-country by running every day. 

Our class photographers

Such excitement!  Room 10 now has its own tablet.  Saane and Meana did a fabulous job testing out the tablet's camera while we finished off our writing.

Mates Way!

Thank you, Mr Calver, for spending time talking with some Room 10 students about friendship and role models.  They really enjoyed their sessions with you and are proud of their certificates. 

A picture paints a thousand words

This is how we used the writing and note-taking strategy of picture dictation.

How many players on a netball court?

While the rest of the world is glued to the soccer world cup, we are learning to glue our feet to the ground ... while we pass the netball without stepping.  Chest pass, bounce pass, overhead pass, shoot!  There are 14 players on a netball court all together as there are two teams with seven players each!
