Well done room 1 for another great week in term 3.  Looking forward to our Life Education time with Harold next week as well as Mr Saywell coming in on Thursday afternoon to create some fantastic cheese with the school.  Looking forward to treating our taste buds!

One great thing I love doing on this blog is celebrating some excellent work.  I have linked two fantastic projects done recently by Logan, Quintin and Jordan on our Olympics theme topic.  Students were to research an olympic sport and chart a timeline based on the changes in technology in that sport over the past century.  Some great research skills have been put into action in these projects and they are both well worth a look. 

Just a reminder to get those CO2 cars buffed and ready for action.  The national competition is on the 20th of September and we will want to have a pre-run before then for the cars at Matapu hopefully at least a week before that date, which means time is running out! 

Have a great weekend everyone and I’ll see you all on Monday.

As my phone is STILL down and I can’t get hold of WIZ to get him to give you all a clue where abouts he is, I’ll post a clue for you here.  Yes, that is the Crusty Demon’s ramps in the picture, so it’s a place where they have toured.  It is in a place that is famous for something that WIZ owns.  There you go, first correct answer wins, and I need the name of the STADIUM, not the town or city.  Good luck!

Congratulations everyone on a fantastic enviroday on Friday!  We managed to nearly create a mud oven, plant a fejoa hedge, plant our boxed gardens, replant our flax shelters, create a lizard habitat, build 3 frog ponds, create mulch, play enviro games, make paper and plant some herb gardens.  That’s a crazy amount of work done in just one day!!!  Well done to all those involved and our gracious thanks to all the helpers on the day.

As I said earlier today, I would post the winning group tonight for our Kiwi Quiz.  I have decided to call it a draw, so both Phillip and Karina’s group will win.

Well done to those who are solving those problems extremely quickly, but I have a different one for you this time.  Also, I know that the WIZ’s voice hasn’t changed with the new location but I haven’t been able to connect to the internet because of the storm we have had recently, that voice message will change as soon as I can get online and I will give you a clue.  POST YOUR WIZ ANSWERS ON THIS THREAD!!  Also don’t forget to get your entries in for our classroom currency.  Remember we need a design of the dollars and a name for the currency.  Both need to be on the computer.  This doesn’t mean you have to design your money on the computer, but you will have to scan your design and save it on there.  All entries have to be in by FRIDAY.

Your problem this week ties into the maths we are doing.  I want you to explain to me, using the same evidence we have been using in maths at the moment, why 7 is the number that wipes out everyone’s score in Greedy Pigs.  Good luck and keep blogging!
