Today in wonderful Room 21, we had the roll call then we did a bit of silent reading before the kapa-haka people left and the science-fair people went to Room 23. The remaining people were split into either Room 24 or Room 22 to do a quiet activity such as drawing. They, and the returned Kapa-Haka / Science fair children then went to morning tea.
After morning tea we all left for our techni-craft in Wainuiamata. The Arts group bus smelled horrible! This was our first session with our new craft classes and we all got introduced to the workshops. In art we did self portraits and quick drawing. Once we got back to Muritai we all enjoyed our lunch on the junior side of school. After lunch we went to our usual syndicate sports with Volleyball, Soccer, Rippa-rugby and Netball.
Lastly we did our class duties and left to go home!

Tuesday 10th June
Today room 21 started off the day with talking about the day because today was going to be a mucky day all the maths class were jumbled up because there were not enough teachers. But the main aspect of the day was that a few year eights chose some year sevens and went down to the Eastbourne dunes and planted about 50 odd plants and we all thought it would of taken 2 hours but we managed to complete it in half a hour which blow away the adult helpers who started this thing up it was a great experience for the enviro- schools we learnt how to plant plants for a good cause and learnt about the blue penguins that the planting was for and luckily we got to see two in the rocks a bit earlier then usual and they were beautiful. Then it was interval.
After interval we again talked about our machines that can do homework and spent a little time on our next paragraph the parts. Then after doing that we went to the school library and brought our work if not finished which was most people. Then it was time for lunch time.
We did silent reading for a long time. Then the class had a chose if they could read there book or listen to Mr Chadwick read the current book its called “Bootleg” its about chocolate being band from the world by the “Good for you party”. Then we had a game we started off playing a game that room23 taught us then room22 came out for a game we played “King dodge ball” after awhile of playing that room23 came out and because room21 was winning of course the whole of room23 got sent into room22’s side and in the end room23 and 22 won because they hit the bin! Then it was time to go home and before we did finish of the day with our class duties.

Tuesday 3rd June
Today in the morning we did the spelling test. After that we did our accuracy check, which is where we choose 50 words from our narrative book (which we did on Thursday) and check for any mistakes, grammatical errors or spelling errors. We then fill in the bar graph in the back of our literacy book. The aim of this is to see our progress and help us improve our accuracy. This has helped me because now I know what I’m getting wrong and how to fix it.
We then went to maths and room 23 had to stay in for a while because we were too noisy! The current subject is geometry/measurement
After morning tea we finished off our homework cheating drawings and now we’re nearly ready to write our explanation on it. We then went to the library and the librarian talked to us about constellations.
After Lunch (and we had 10 minutes extra) we looked at the three states of matter and what the changes have to do with energy. Then we did all our duties and went home!! Today was a day full of new and interesting facts and learning.
