This is going to be Room 10's continuos story that will be added to by each student. Stay tuned to see what happens next.

The Adventure of Dewey the Bear.

Once upon a time there was a huge bear called Dewey. He lived in the jungle and one day he came across a group of 11 children in the middle of the jungle. (Kate Sorenson). The children were on a class trip with their teacher Miss Blue to look at all the wonderful animals and plants that lived in the jungle. When Dewey found the group of children he was very scared as he did not know what they were, so he decided to sit down and watch them to see what they did. (Hayley Kirkwood). Miss Blue spotted Dewy sitting in the bush so she got her camera out and took a photo of the bear. The bear's eyes started to hurt so he ran away but he crashed into the bus and fell over. When dewey woke up the children where jumping on him because they thought he was dead. ( Luke Cuthbertson )

Today Matai and Annabel showed us a magic trick. Their breath was so cold that it turned water into ice. We asked them how they did it, but the told us a magician never gives away their tricks.

Every Monday after playtime, Room 10 do diary writing.  This is a recount of what they have done in the weekend.  

Here is Noah Cooks fantastic diary entry for Monday 14th March 2011

Dear Diary

In  the  weekend  I  went  to    the  museum  and I wore  two  costumes. The  first  costume was a tremendous  skink and the second was a very big beetle when I was wearing them they felt hot and itchy.  

It was  fun at the museum  because I saw the biggest egg I have ever seen, it was a kiwi egg. I learnt that Richard Pearce was the first New Zealander to make and fly a aircraft.

 Also that moa's were the tallest bird that ever lived and a moa's legs are tremendously big (they are even taller than me).  

My favourite native animal is a kiwi and a kea because a kiwi has a long beak and kea has the curved beak.  

I LOVE NZ!

Room 10 for 2011

Welcome to Room 10's Blog for 2011. We have had a great start to the year and we all get on really well. In our class we have 27 Fantiddlytastic children and 1 great teacher.

This year we are going to work really hard and make sure we always try our best, and of course we will have a lot of fun along the way.

Our student councilors are Mia Parker and Zac McLennan, this year we also have vice student councilors. These are Makyla Brown and Zek Spurr-Ross. These children were voted by the class because they show the Bluestone values and we think they are awesome.

We all hope you enjoy 2011, and we look forward to sharing some awesome work on our blog.

From all the children in Room 10 and Miss Dobson.

Team  Explorer Sustainability Musical Showcase

This term Team Explorer children have been working on a musical showcase. This involved everyone singing three songs, performing a song on the recorder and individual class performances. Room 7 performed a  Maori song, Room 8 did a rap about recycling, Room 9 did a recycling song,  and we sang an awesome  song called 'Pots and Pans'. 

We had to have two practices on the stage, and then on we performed  to all our parents and family. We were all  proud of ourselves and had lots of fun.

Ocean Dioramas

Room 10 have made some awesome dioramas. We have got lots of sea animals, seaweed and even an under water volcano. They were very fun and easy to make. All we had to do was simply follow the instructions.

On Monday we are going to the Rocky Shore to pick up rubbish.  We are going to have some parent helpers.  Im excited because my nana is going to be a helper.  We have learnt about some unsafe rubbish and safe rubbish.  If we find rubbish that is dangerous we do not touch it.  Someone waits beside the rubbish and the other person goes and gets a teacher or parent helper.

Yesterday in Room 10 we worked with clay for art.  We are learning to make a cloak out of clay. First we rolled the clay into a ball, then we put a hole in the middle with our thumb.  Next we had to use some tools to practice making patterns in the clay.  One thing i found out was that your not allowed to handle the clay lots or it will break and dry out.  I am looking forward to next wednesday when it is art time.
