Harry potter

On the 12th of November 2010 room 7 had a Harry Potter Night. The room 7 students each brought a dish to share (I made Poisonous Toadstools).
We also did a quiz and my team the Flightless Chickens came in last place. I dressed up as Hermione and my opinion is that the night was fun.

Nelson Intermadiate School Visit

Today all the year 6's went to NIS to have a look at the school they'll be going next year. It was really exciting to see NIS because I've never been there and what was really awesome was that I saw my friend from Blenheim! I'm looking forward to Preforming Arts and the Gym (Unfortunately you have to be a year 8 to go in the Gym) I also met Mr. Monro who's South African! WOW!!! Everyone there is so friendly and when we first got there some children did an awesome kapahaka performance. Can't wait to start NIS!

clock work-book

In class we were reading Clock Work, Clock Work is a very emotional story with many features of fiction. In the story there was "LOVE": at the end of the story Gretel was humming a tune to Sir Ironsoul. "THRILL" tingles up your spine when the Baron jumped off the sled to sacrifice himself for King Otto and Prince Florian from a pack of wolves. "BRAVERY" when King Otto gave up his heart for Prince Florian. "Fear" is what I felt when I listened to the part where Ironsoul killed Karl. There is also a lot of "HORROR" when you hear the word: man slaughter or blood dripping you immediately freak-out (like me). My opinion is that the story was very interesting and has well chosen words of description. This book is AWESOME maybe you should read it?

Speeches!

This term we're doing speeches and I did mine on bullying because I believe that by making my speech I can have a positive impact on people's attitudes to this disturbing behaviour. I think I will do really well, I sort of like to talk in front of crowds but I get nervous easily.

BULLYING IS NOT AN OPTION!!!

Rubber Races

Aimee and I (Lauren) have been understanding how
to make a car roll forward using a rubber band.

How did we do?:
Well, to be honest we did well at the start because we used
a thin rubber band and then we found out that you have
to use a thick rubber band! So we put on a thick rubber
band and started to roll the rubber band when we heard
a snap (it wasn't that loud) and when we put it down to
see it move it only went 2mm! We were a little disappointed
but we tried our best!

At the races:
My friend Bianca did REALLY well 'cause she won. Before
she raced she told me she was really nervous and at the end
I think it paid off because her car was zooooming down the
runway it was AWESOME!!!

May the FORCES be with you

Today I have been at school for two weeks and I love the school
here in Nelson !

• THE SCHOOL

In room 7 we have been learning about forces (cool) and my
group ( Aimee, Bianca, Mai and I) have made a car that has to go
up a ramp using the forces of air. It is really cool and I can't wait
to present it.
