Haiku in Room 11

  We have been learning Haiku Poems in Room 11.

Haiku poems need to have 3 lines. The first line must have five syllables, the second seven and the last five. SO this is a 5,7,5 structure.

Here are some Haikus from students.

Persuasive Posters

Room 11 students made a poster to convince people to visit a place that they had been (or wanted to go to) in their holidays.  They had to use language features such as similes and hyperbole as well as providing information to the reader. You can check out the rest of their posters on their individual blogs.

Pepeha

To celebrate Te wiki o Te reo Māori, we have been practising our Pepeha. We used the picture Pepeha we made in term one. 

  

Kina Barren

 Marcus has produced a fantastic animated slideshow to demonstrate how a Kina Barren forms when we overfish in the sea around New Zealand. His slideshow also shows how we can return parts of the ocean to balance when we make them marine reserves. Well done Marcus!

                      

Temperature

We have been learning about heat and temperature in reading and maths time.  Students did an investigation at the beginning of our learning on this topic, to find out more about temperature.
