Yesterday we went to the recycling centre with room 11.It was fun.

Cleaning the ground.

The ground outside the shelter near Rm 14 was getting very dirty because people were leaving food scraps there. Some students of Rm 15 decided to clean it up! Now it is very very clean. Thanks to all the helpful students that cleaned it up :)))))))

On Wednesday the 10th of September Room 15 went up Mt Robert.
It took us an hour and fifteen minutes to get to St Arnaud, Lake Rotoiti by bus.
Then we traveled by minivan up to the top car park.  From there we started our walk up the 'pinchgut track' which was quite steep! 

When we got to the top we were lucky enough to play in some snow!

A big THANKS to all the parents and the bus drivers for taking up all there and giving up their time to help us on our trip.

                      RUGGERS WITH THE MAKOS 

Starting 2 weeks ago, the Tasman Makos rugby team has been coming into Broadgreen to teach ball skills to students. Next week r15 will get to play a whole class game of tackle!!!!! But we have to bring our mouth guards. So far we have learnt how to pass a ball and how to play ripper, next week we will learn how to tackle! This is lots of fun so a big thanks to Mrs Bywater for organising the Makos to come and also to the Makos for coming along. Sadly Mr Hepburn cannot find the camera so we don't have any pictures :'( but we do have a photo of a Mako.

Room 15 Movie Night

On Wednesday the 21st of May Room 15 had a movie night in our classroom. Earlier in the day we went round the classrooms asking if we could borrow their couch's. Next we shifted the couch's to where we wanted to sit. Most of us ordered fish and chips but some of us got pizza. At 3:35 we started watching the movie. The movie was Zathura. It was about a space game that comes to life and every turn you took a card popped out and on that card it said something that would happen like meteor shower get out of the way! Room 15 had lots of fun and will hope to have another movie night soon!

                       Revolution Tour

On Monday the 12th of May the Revolution Tour - (an anti-bullying show) - visited Broadgreen. 

8 classes went at 9:30 - morning tea and the rest went from 11:00 - l2:00.
They told us that we could go crazy and shout as loud as we could, after they had got us hooked, they got 4 boys and 4 girls up on stage for a dance off! Harry and Christian from our class were part of the 4 boys, who won and received a free ticket to their show this afternoon (Harry did shamazing splits which was a crowd lover).
They did a skit which taught us how the bullies feel and how the victims feel. It was an amazing show so thank you Revolution!
Below are some pictures of the show.

Art

In room 15 we are doing Aboriginal art. We made an ancient background, like a cave wall, first using our hands. Then we designed ancient pictures like animals etc... in our books. Once we were happy with them we drew our pictures or animals on our backgrounds.  To finish we put patterns on our animals using sticks and brushes.

Kiwidex (Kiwi Exercise) is a fun exercise routine that Room 15 do most mornings, with about 3 minute intervals on each activity. On Thursday mornings Room 19 joins us. Kiwidex is a good way to keep fit at school and keeping fit means you can enjoy sports and exercise. Some of the things we do in the routine include running, press ups, skipping, burpies and lots more. Here are some pictures of us enjoying Kiwidex.
