Room 9's Film

Making our Pepeha Games

For a fun Friday activity room 9 has taken the tradition of creating a pepeha to the next level by turning it into a coding activity. This is a great tool from Gamefroot.com and worth looking into. You don't just have to create a Mihi you can create other games too!!!!

Check out Mr Walkers Mihi below (sorry for the bung image at the end, he's still learning)

PINK SHIRT DAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!! #Blessed

Room 9 had a wonderful time celebrating pink shirt day. Check out our class blogs for their views on the day and what Pink shirt day means to them. Special shout out to those students who helped set up Room 9 for the Classroom competition!

First day back, What are our goals?

Welcome back to term 2! Room 9 has started off with a bit of testing in order to find our next steps for maths. The test will help us identify our gaps and what we need to learn for term 2. 

When room 9 tests we do not see it as a bad thing! We use it as a point of reference to develop our knowledge further. Although it must be said that it's not always the funnest thing to do on your first day back! Well done room 9 for giving it a solid go!

Let's go to the Zoo!!

Room 9 has recently entered a competition to have a free class trip to the zoo! All we had to do was make a short video about our ideal animal enclosures. Check out our video below.

If you could build an animal enclosure, what would it look like? which animal would you choose? Let us know in your responses below

Welcome to 2019

Room 9 has started off with a bang this year. For the first month they have really had a large focus on PB4l values within Wesley Intermediate. Learning how to be respectful in all environments and covering the core principles of Respecting self, others & the environment. Recently we have started looking at culture and how we can take a step towards learning another culture in a safe environment. So all students have picked a language aside from English, and we are in the process of using this language in everyday conversations. The idea is to incorporate and expose room 9 to a multitude of languages. Some of the most popular languages students have chosen in room 9 are Tongan, Spanish & German. See below for some cool videos that can help you learn how to introduce yourself in these languages.
