<br />
Room 5's teacher modelled an example and then they did their own writing from pictures of school children around the world who travel dangerously to get to school. Room 5 had to write from one of the children's point of view in the photo.<br />
<br />
Graphics from "The Writing Book" were used to give students feedback. Next week students will be using the graphics themselves to give each other meaningful feedback.<br />
<br />
Here is a sample of some of the writing.<br />

The instructor told us to come in but we hadn't even finished our boat. Luckily Maria came and checked all of our boats to make sure we had rigged them correctly. </span></span></div>

We had to wear a tight wetsuit, a rain jacket over that and a really tight life jacket. When we finished getting changed I could barely breathe. I felt like I was being choked to death.</span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #434343; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It was time to go on the water! We had to line our boats up in a row at the edge of the water on the ramp. Soon, it was our turn. When we got on the water my partner was freaking out and I was screaming my lungs out. I felt like I was in a horror movie!</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #434343; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">My job on the boat was taking care of the rudder and my partner, Thomas had to take care of the sail. We were working so well as a team and managed to keep up with the instructor. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">The other people yelled, “How are you guys going so fast?” We went fast because we were following the wind and making sure our sail was not “flappy and unhappy!” Then the wind got stronger and stronger but we did not give up! We just kept on following the wind. When we finished wandering around the sailing instructor told us to go to him.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When we went to him he grabbed a ball and threw it into the water. We had to sail and get the ball before the other boats. The first person to get the ball had to pass it to the instructor. The hard part was that you could only hold it for five seconds! After the game was finished the wind came and blew our boats and the BOOM OF DOOM! nearly hit my head and yes, my partner Patience started to scream, again!!. When the wind got heavy I was scared because we were in the deep side of the water. Even though we were all wearing life jackets I was still scared because I thought that the fish would come and bite our legs.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">We sailed back to shore to have lunch and were very excited because we were going to go out again. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #434343; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">My food was so yummy. I wanted to eat more but I knew I couldn’t because I would get a cramp. </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">After a yummy pizza lunch bought by a parent, we all pulled our boats back into the water and sailed to the instructor, Simon. When we got there he flipped our boat over. Me and Patience</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: blue; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">had to swim and flip our boat back over the right way</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. We were swimming in the water trying to help other people who were capsized and couldn't get their boat back up the right way. We helped them push their boat back to shore.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: #434343; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">There was so much water in our boat and I was shivering. It was time to go back to shore, so we sailed back, got our trailer and brought our boats out of the water.</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: #434343; font-family: "arial"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It was time to go home. I wish we got to have a longer swim and also another chance to go sailing. It was a very interesting day. I wonder what will happen when I go sailing again?</span><br />

They trained hard at lunch breaks with Mr Gaffney.<br />
<br />
The highlight of their day was when they beat Panmure District School 4-1. They played 6 matches
altogether.<br />
The team lost the first match to Stonefields 2-0, which put them into the 2nd pool. However, they recovered well and lost their last match to Point England 2-1 (The eventual winners).<br />
<br />
Mr Gaffney was very proud of their sportsmanship and teamwork.<br />
<br />
Well done Year 5 and 6 soccer players!<br />

On Thursday 8th February, Room 5 was filmed as the introduction for an article about the Summer Learning Journey. Katelyn and Aaliyah, 2 students from Nu'u Learning Space were heavily featured as they were the most active bloggers during the holidays.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Rachel Williams has worked incredibly hard setting up this Holiday Blogging Activity program and supporting the students as they blogged throughout the holidays, giving them comments and feedback.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">St Pius X was blessed to be chosen to represent the Summer Learning Journey blogging program and are just one of many schools in the Manaiakalani cluster participating.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">We at St Pius X are incredibly proud of the effort and commitment shown by the students blogging through the holidays and look forward to taking part in future Blogging journeys with Rachel and her team.</span>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847735745976180711.post-30362360459898836892018-02-02T18:30:00.000+13:002018-02-22T16:51:16.688+13:00Lady of Fatima statue visit<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Room 5 had a lot of fun learning how to be Moneywise with Tom and Abs, accountants from Price Waterhouse.<br />
<br />
They also then did an hour with the ASB people about Financial Literacy.<br />
<br />
Room 5 learned so much about how to be smart with their money that they thought it would be a good idea to make a movie and share their ideas with other kids and<br />
<br />
VOILA!<br />
<br />
Room 5's movie was made called Money Tips for Kids!<br />
<br />
We hope you find a tip you can use to become more money wise!SPX Blog Admin 2http://www.blogger.com/profile/16528806958580752607noreply@blogger.com27tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-847735745976180711.post-40008012562623236052017-10-20T18:30:00.000+13:002018-01-29T17:23:30.550+13:00Niue Language WeekRoom 5 was lucky enough to be able to taste a Niuean dish called Takihi as an experience for Niue Language Week.<br />

He shared his childhood stories with us and also how much he reads to his family. We all posed for a picture at the end proudly holding up some of the Duffy Books we have received.<br />
<br />
Thank you Duffy!<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">On Mother’s day it was a very special day for me. Do you want to know why…??? My dad and my uncles didn’t go to church because they stayed at home and made food for my aunties, mum and grandma. So they missed out on meeting someone special.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">When we got to church there were two police cars. I didn’t know what other people were thinking but I thought there was a criminal in the church. We went into the church and there was a big space in the front. I could hear people whispering “what is that space for?” because there were no other seats in the church but the three seats. Then a lady came and welcomed us and the Prime Minister of New Zealand, Bill English. WOW!!!! isn't it amazing.</span></div>
<br /><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Our Sunday school did an action song for all the mother’s and I came straight to my mum. She was sitting in the same row as Bill English. After mass everyone hurried out to meet him. My mother didn’t want to meet him but my brother did. He went and asked him questions like “why did you come to our church?” He also managed to get us a personal picture with him.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The whole school came together for an Easter Liturgy following the passion of Jesus through readings and song. Room 5 did the Station "Washing of the feet" and sang " A New Commandment". It was a lovely way to end our busy term.</span></div>
