One week until camp

Not long to go now everyone! Camp is only one school week away. This week Room 2 are at Totaranui and we hope that they have a a great time.

If you have not done so already, please bring into class two cans of fruit and a baby photo for one of our camp challenges.

Please make sure that you are starting to collect together all of the gear you will need for camp and making sure it is ready to go. On Thursday I will be checking your footwear, wet weather gear and warm clothing so please bring these along to school.

Welcome to Room One Mrs Andrew!

Starting this week we have a student teacher in our class. Her name is Mrs Andrew and she lives in Japan! We are lucky to have her in our room for the next 5 weeks and she is going to be coming on camp with us as well! We hope you enjoy being in our class.

Non stop cricket tournament

Today Room 1 had their first non stop cricket game against Room 13. It was a very close game and we ended up winning 92 to 91! We all played really well and are looking forward to our next game later this week.

Do you think we can make it all the way to the top?

Camp - What would you like to eat?

As you know we are going on camp in Week 8 of this term (Monday 26 March - Friday 30 March). We will have four dinners together and one of those dinners you will cook yourself. I would love to have your input into what you would like on the other 3 nights.

Things to consider...

• there are 38 people to feed each night
• we won't have all day to cook
• preparation and dishes are done by you (while supervised of course) so don't make it too complicated!
• read other people's comments and if you agree then you can repeat what they have said as well
• please record a main course and a dessert suggestion and don't forget your name : )

What is your favourite subject at school?

Do you love Art? Are you an amazing chef? Is getting out and running around your idea of a great afternoon? Do you adore numbers and calculations or writing descriptive stories set in far away places?

Let us all know what SUBJECT you most enjoy at school and WHY by posting a comment below. Don't forget to include your name!

Welcome to Room 1, 2012

Hello and welcome to Room One's class blog! This web site will keep you up to date with what we are doing in class, up coming events and homework information. It is a place for you to leave messages to other students and as a way of communicationng your ideas in the form of a comment. I am hoping this will become a record of our year together.

Each week 2 students will have the pleasure of being in charge of the blog. The first two students will already know a bit about blogging and they will be teaching the other pairs when it is their turn.

What ideas have you got to make our blog cool, fun, informational and different from other blogs out there?

Our aim is to get the most possible hits each week!!!!
