This Wednesday, April 25, will be ANZAC Day. ANZAC day is to remember the wars that Australia and New Zealand have fought in together. Below is some of our ANZAC art and pictures to show how we remember. Click on them to enlarge the pictures.


We will also be sending messages to the NZ troops stationed overseas and you can too at this link:  






The word peace above is a collage using pictures of poppies. 





   Welcome to Room 14's blog for 2012



Our class is a split year 5 & 6 class of all boys, which is 10-11 years olds.


We live in Otara, a region in Auckland City, New Zealand. It's in the middle of the North Island and is the biggest city in NZ. A little know fact is that Auckland City is the biggest Polynesian city of the world. We are all Kiwis, but many of us come from different countries, like Samoa and Tonga, so we made a graph to show you where we all come from.

 
We are always busy with projects and special programs. Just to list a few...


We are designing an observational bee hive with an Engineer named Christian from Future in Tech


We have a large aquarium, which is full of tadpoles turning into tiny green frogs.



As you can see there is two frogs, one in the corner and one on the piece of wood.






We created this diagram to show the life cycle of frogs. We currently have both froglets and frogs in our tank. 



Taekwondo


On Friday mornings we have Warrior Training! Last week we posted a video of our skills on Youtube, check it out-
Mad Ninja Skills

This week we learned about the oath taken as part Taekwondo.



Watch us recite our student oath


Also, we go swimming every Tuesday in the afternoon. Some would say we swim as well as a dolphin.



We love to dance...
