Healthy Lunch

Would you believe we fed 26 people for lunch and it cost us $60 well $59.68c. Well done to our expert shoppers - Owen, Rebecca and Ava. They made some very good decisions. Well done to Room 22 for the great maths as we worked our way through the statistical investigation cycle.You all worked extremely hard. Thank you to a wonderful class of children who peeled and grated and set the food table up etc . You were wonderful.

Saving Mr Bain

Mr Bain was saved!

In our last robotic session we programmed our robots and many of us were successful in the testing stage. However when testing time came, some didn't perform as they should.

Our winners were Harrison and Tobias.

Well done!

Thank you to Mr Groomsbridge and Mr King for their help and taking these lessons.

Canadian Hockey Team Banner

While some of the class was at Tabloid Day the other children helped Mrs Tomlinson make the banner. Thank you. The Canadian team will feel well supported by Te Mata!

Tabloid Team

These are the year six students from room 22 who represented Te Mata School at the tabloid sports day at Windsor Park in Hastings yesterday. They participated in a variety of physical activities such as the egg and pole race, unders and overs, soccer and hockey skills as well as fitness events like the cross country. Eliza's favourite activity was the sprint! 🏃💨

Day Five Robotics

Today is Challenge Day!

We have to rescue Mr Bain. Can we?

I Wonder?

I wonder what Room 22 and Room 21 are going to do with this play dough? Today we made a few batches of play dough by following the recipe. Bex was particularly good at kneading and we think she has done this before?

Finding Healthy Food at New World Supermarket

What a busy day! Today we put our knowledge about reading food labels into practise. Nova from Food stuffs organised for us to go to New World to find which foods are healthy and which foods would be occasional treats.

Robotics Day One

What Did We Learn With Lia about First Aid

“Stop moving Isabella, you wriggle too much. I can't put a sling on you unless you stand still and pretend that you have broken your arm.” This happened about halfway through our first aid course, but I'll start at the start so that it is not confusing. It was the 29th of February( a date that you don't get that often) and Lia, a worker from Red Cross, was teaching us the six letters to success. DRSABC. It is easy to remember because just remember DRS which stands for doctors and remember ABC because it is the start of the alphabet. The D stands for danger. Every time you go to somewhere where someone is hurt always be careful of dangers like live wires, unstable roofs/walls and anything else that could be hurtful to you or anyone else. This is because if you are in a problem where someone else is hurt then if you get hurt again there is no one else to help that person. The R stands for response. Try talking loud to the person, if they reply that is a good sign and it means that they are not badly hurt. If they do not reply it means that they are too weak to reply or they are unconscious. If they do not reply then squeeze their shoulder just enough so that it hurts. If the are still conscious they will flinch. And if they don’t do anything they are unconscious. The S stands for send for help. Call an adult or if it is a real emergency call the ambulance. Whenever you have to send for help make sure you them all the details, where, what, when, and how it also always helps to tell them how many people are hurt. The A stands for airway. When someone is lying down on their back, when they are unconscious their tongue relaxes and drops down, blocking the airway. This makes them unable to breath. So lift their chin up with two fingers so that their head is tilted back. B stands for breathing. Once you have tilted their head back their tongue will move so that they can breath again. If you do not tilt their head back then if they need to vomit the vomit will go up the food way, hit the tongue and go down the airway causing you to choke. And C stands for circulation. If someone is bleeding then wrap a bandage tightly around that spot, this is so that it cuts off circulation which means that all the blood travels to a different place, so that you do not lose as much. After that we learnt how to wrap up a bleeding spot and then how to put your bleeding arm in a sling. We also learnt how to tie a sling when you have a broken bone. They are both tied very differently. The way if your bleeding is to wrap the sling so that your arm is halfway between vertical and horizontal. Then with a broken arm you have to tie it so that your arm is horizontal. By Lauren

Red Cross First Aid Day with Lia

Awesome Adjectives

For the last couple of days Room 22 have learned about Adjectives

Jessica and Owen making a fabulous team.

Isabella and Greer editing Mrs Legarth's story.

Nice story Lizey and Bex you're using adjectives well.

We got given out a story written by Mrs Legarth, had to highlight the nouns, then we had to edit the story and put adjectives in the highlighted parts to make the story more interesting.
