Worm Farming!

The P.H.S Kaitiaki Leaders (Enviro Leaders) have recently purchased new worm farms. These are used for recycling food instead of sending this to the landfill.

Kaitiaki Leaders with the new worm farms

Room 19 decided to investigate what they should and should not send to the worm farms.  Here are some posters illustrating what they found out.

School Speech & Poetry Competition

Today was the School Speech and Poetry Competition.  There were 4 finalists representing their year levels from Year 3 through to Year 6.

Congratulations to Christopher and Ryan, finalists from Room 19, who did a superb job presenting their speeches.

Diamante Poems

We have been learning to write Diamante Poems. 

These poems have two topics that are opposite.  For each topic you have to describe them using adjectives, state what actions they use using verbs and name some items related to them using nouns.

Enjoy!

Limericks

Room 19 learnt how to write Limerick poems. Here are some of those written. Please check out individual student blogs to see more.

There once was a boy named Daniel
Who made a nice friend: Manual
Who could turn into a Car
And go very Far
They made it a great Annual

By Christopher

There once was a boy named Troy

He really loved to destroy

He destroyed a car

And chucked it far

He was a very bad boy

Origami

This morning room 19 has been doing origami by making different creations. Some have been making boxes, ninja stars, fidget spinners, glasses and many more things.

Everyone should be proud of their origami creations.  

By Ezalle,Teahui and Lynkin

We had a great time doing origami, and we enjoyed folding the paper and doing creases. It was a great experience in room 19.

We made a origami ninja star that opens and closes, we made it by attaching all the bits together.

We think everybody should be really proud of what they put together. Just about everybody made an origami fidget spinner. Ms Leafberg said if you are a beginner to origami, you should start with the basic shapes and go from there.
