Room 19 in a Robot (Picture Writing)

Over this week, Room 19 was given a picture and we had to write a story about it. It could be funny, sad and humorus. Here is my story. The Picture is Down below.

Parkvale School was quiet and silent but Room 19. We were building a robot to go to a competition that was being held in Windsor Park. Mrs Hardaker wasn’t in on this. We were gonna tell her, after we build the robot. We put heaps of doors for all of us to go in. The year was 2034 and everything was different. We made a password. Qwerty. Everybody had a job in the robot. The Eyes, to Claws, To feet and even scenic rides. It was a whole pile of fun. We just finished the Robot.

Mrs Hardaker came in and saw the masterpiece. As we could hear her coming into the cloak bay we all jumped into the  robot. “What The” she said. We all opened the doors and Mrs Hardakers mouth fell open. We all came out. “You guys are Ninjas” she said. “Hop In” Said Ethin. “We made a seat for you” added Corbyn. “It will be a blast” Zac yells.

Mrs Hardaker sits in her seat. We put here iPad on her seat to do whatever she does. We took the long way to Windsor Park. There was fewer cars and more and more miniature robots taking people around the city. The higher class people took teleporters everywhere. “So where are we going?” said Mrs Hardaker. “A robot competition in Windsor park. We want to win so badly.” Replied Ashley. He was in the scenic seat next to Mrs Hardaker.  

The road was so smooth and the robot was waddling like a duck. Before we knew it, Mrs Hardaker was a sleep. We were all older now. So all of Mrs Hardakers Children we much older. We went down the road and we went past a building. It said: Cutie Pies. It was a pie factory. Kayde worked there. He was grown out of his cute factor.

We got to Windsor Park. “MRS HARDAKER” yelles Jesse. “What What” said Mrs Hardaker. “He is still like his old self” said Ryleigh. Mrs Hardaker hopped out and directed it into a big hall where the competition was held. We all hopped back in and sat comfy deep into our seats. We waited for 5 minutes. A loud voice came booming from a microphone. “A BIT OF HUSH”. We were all looking around. “Thats Famillia” said Tyler.

We all looked out the window and there was Miss Hill. She was leaning on her walker and she had her milo in her hand. “Nothings Changed” Mrs Hardaker said.  I have been walking around and seeing all of the robots. But I have to say....... The Class of Rm 19 2014 won the competition. ” said Miss Hill. We were jumping for joy. MIss Hill Continued. “The reason why I chose that robot was because 1, Its from Parkvale School. 2, It has a good learning space and seat and 3. It has a Milo machine. Well Done.

That is the End. There is no more, but watch out because there might be another Rm 19 story coming out soon.

This is the Picture that the story is based on!!!

Becoming a Leader

On Friday the 8th of Parkvale School had there school assembly. This assembly was special because they were announcing the leaders for 2014. All of the Yr 6's were excited because they had all applied. This assembly was very long with all of the other stuff that gad to be done like Room 3's assembly item, PRIDE Awards and much much more.,

The assembly went on and on until the end. They announced the leaders. It took forever. They started with Digi Leaders.  Cameron O from our class got Digi Leader. Then the Bankers, P.E Monitors and  Sport PALS. Aidan from our class got Sport Pal as well. Then Young Leaders.

Miss Hill announced them 1 by 1.  Miss Hill announced Nikita then Me. Rani then Zac and last but not least, Mohit.  16 Young Leaders were standing up there waiting to see who is House Leaders. I had to wait to the end because my House was last. Miss Hill said really loud "Gerogia and" then she paused "Ethin". I was screaming in excitement from getting two things with badges. Now swimming sports. House comp. its my time to shine!!!!!!

Now I am a Young leader and House Leader. A blue badge and a Bright yellow one (Because I am in Yellow house) You can see me an mile away.

The cockroaches body is incredible. For starters its brain is in it tummy. They start out as a ootheca. The Ootheca is a egg that baby cockroaches are born in. The female of the species  lays the ootheca. They have a large case quite like a Butterfly Chrysalis. There legs have little spikes the size of our hairs.

They have a wild source of food. They eat stuff to Paint to Wood to Glue. To be pacific they eat.

• Glue
• Wood
• Paint
• Shoe Polish
• Soap
• Plants
• Other Insects
• And  if they want to get drunk, They drink Beer

They are Amazing. Here are some general facts.

• Because their Brain is there tummy. They can live without their head for a week.

Hearing Education

Hearing Education.

Today Room 19 went over to Room 21 and saw Caroline. She is from the Hawkes Bay Hearing Society. She came to Parkvale School to tell us about how importants or ears are. Here as some perfect examples why we should do these things.

What to Do

If there was a very loud sound (eg Music, Speeches) you need to either Walk Away, Wear Protection or turn down the volume.  If the music is too loud you can walk away and go to  a place that has less noise. If the music is loud. Your can wear earplugs or earmuffs. This makes the music quieter than is was before.  Last is turn down the volume. You cant do this  all the time because you might be at Assembly and the Mic might be too loud.

What makes you hear, What is sound.

Sound is little vibrations in the air that go to your ears. The vibrations vibrate your Eardrum, Cochlea and the three tiniest bones in your bodies. They tell the brain what the sound is. In the Cochlea is thousands of tiny hairs. That is what vibrates inside the Cochlea.

Here is a diagram the explains what is the ear.

Ear Wax.

Why do we have Earwax. We have Earwax to keep our Ears moist. It is not there to annoy us. If it was it wouldn’t be there. Ear wax is important and we should not taken out of our ears. If your cleaning device goes through your eardrum it would really hurt and can't work  as good as it was before.

These are very important steps on how to take care of your ears. I hope this helped you for your ears to be healthy.     

First blog post for 2014: Room 19

This year I am in Room 19 with Mrs Hardaker. I have had a great start to the year. We watched a video about Nemo's first day of school. This was cool because we we're all feeling the same way as Nemo. We also got some smarties from Mrs Hardaker because she said we are all a smart bunch of cookies! And we started swimming, the water was refreshing on a hot day. Here is the video and some pics.

Our Smarties sheets. 

Room 19 and 20 swimming!!

Final Blog Post 2013: Behind The Scenes of Room 17

Room 17 can be a good class sometimes.  Here is a walk thought at what Room 17 is really like. Normally at the start of the day after the roll we have Math. Math, A time that Mrs Roil teach's skills and when we go of  we talk a bucket full of rubbish. Sometimes I'm not in Room 17 because I go to extension maths. It is kinda the same there but we have Miss Hill.

Writing is up next. A subject that I like and get stuck into it well. No matter what we are writing I enjoy it. 40%  of the class talks and the other 60% gets on with there work. after that we do Reading. We use this website called Actively Learn. It has heaps of stories that Mrs Roil can monitor and marks us as we answer some questions.

So that is a day in Room 17 but it is not always like this. Sometimes it is a wonderful classroom.
