Kia Ora Whanau!
Welcome to our last blog for 2014.
This week we completed our shade sail models and displayed them at the Science Fair. We hope you had a chance to view them when you came for the 3-Way Conferences!
Here they are!

Kia Ora Whanau! What an exciting week we have had voting for our new school leaders!
On Friday we went to the hall and Whaea Emma explained what we were going to do. Then the helpers showed us the voting papers - one for the leaders and one for the referendum. The referendum this year was 'Do you think we should have a School Council?'

Then some other helpers took us to the polling booth so we could tick our choices on the voting paper. Next we folded the papers and put them in the voting boxes.
Even Ms Hanline and all the other teachers and staff got to vote too!
It was very exciting! Now we have to wait until Prizegiving on Monday to find out the winners! Good luck to all the campaigners!

What a great week for being Sunsmart Scientists!
This week we carried out an experiment to find out which colour is hottest and which colour is coolest in the sun.
We put some water in three cans and wrapped black, white and green paper around them.
We each hypothesised, (guessed), which would be the hottest.
We used a thermometer to measure how hot the water was - it was 2 on the thermometer in each one.
Then we put them out in the sun for 30 minutes.
Next we put the thermometer into each one to measure their temperature.
Black was 4; Green was 3.2 and White was 3.
We concluded that black was the hottest in the sun.

On Friday we will be voting to choose our school leaders for next year. The year 7 students who are campaigning came to our class to persuade us to vote for them.
We are thinking carefully about who we will choose.
On Thursday it was good weather for golf and Coach Larissa is still helping us learn how to play.
We are getting better at swinging the club and hitting the ball to the target.
Great job Room 7! Remember your sun hat - no hat, no play!
We are looking forward to sharing our work with our whanau at 3-way Conferences on Thursday 11th December, see you there!

Look how fast we can run!
We had to go round the field and over some chairs, then through the cones and past the hall, then up past the playground and the kindy. Next we went up the driveway and along the footpath, then through the gate, down the hill and around the corner. Next we ran round the field some more and over some more chairs and then around the field more times. Finally we crossed the finish line!

Room 7 Week 4 Term 4 2014
Kia Ora Whanau!
This week we started training for our Cross Country races. First we walked the whole course from Room 5, up past the kindy, along the footpath, down the hill, around the field and back to our lines.
Then we started on the field by our age lines and ran around and around and around, as many laps as we could do!
We will keep training in the next few weeks so we can be ready to race!

Well done Room 7! That was a lot of running!
We also did our Golf training with Coach Larissa. She taught us about honesty this week and hitting the ball with just the right force to get it to our buddy.
It is our turn this Friday to do the Sunsmart Science Quiz versus Room 8 in Assembly. Wish us luck!
Have a fun weekend everyone, be safe with any left over fireworks!
