Here are some fabulous photos of our busy Friday! What did you enjoy most and why? Another awesome week this week with our Production starting to take shape; we are going to be in our groups with our experts - what do you want to do? Music mixing, dance, drama, costume design, prop? We will have to sort out our groups today! (Monday!)

Have a great week! Ms D

Famous authors!

Ross Creek Adventure Day

2010-10-27T12:05:00.001-07:00

Wowzers!! What a day?! Who loved it? I certainly did! Do you know you guys were the first Balmacewen class EVER to do this trip? How fabulous is that? Tell me your highlights? What advice do you have for me if I take Room 7 in 2011?

2010-10-26T18:16:00.000-07:00

Athletics Day

2010-10-20T19:05:00.000-07:00

Here are some fabulous snaps that Matthew's mum took yesterday! thanks Catherine! Don't forget your $15 and permission slip for Tuesday, no slip...no go! Have a look online about rap-jumping and post a comment about what you found out! Enjoy your time off tomorrow; make the most of your time away from school and try spending some of it on the Amazing Race and publishing your speech onto cue cards!

See you Tuesday!

Week 2

2010-10-17T12:16:00.000-07:00

The weather is chilly again isn't it? I wonder when the weather will settle down?

We have another busy week, Athletics Day on Wednesday followed by our Teacher Only Day on Friday. Also don't forget to return your Ross Creek Adventure Day permission slip and money ASAP.

This week's country to tour is the USA! Remember the top tips from last week....imagine you are an actual tourist ~ what would you expect to see and do? Write as if you have actually seen the monuments or landmarks, use photoshop or create images with you visiting these places, remember presentation is key ~ scrappy bits of paper with pencil scribblings is not good enough, I am sure this week we will have a higher standard of presentation.

What did you think your group did well? What is your group's focus or goal for this week?

Have a fab week
MsD

Almost time to go back

2010-10-09T17:58:00.001-07:00

Hey everyone!

I hope you have all had a magical, restful, healthy and well deserved break away from school and break away from ME!

We have (as always) a busy start to the term...our big homework focus is the Amazing Race, this is where you and your desk groups travel around the globe, learning about different cultures, rituals and basic facts about each country, just like the programme too there will be a Road Block to complete each week.

You will be required to do most of this at home each week so as you are working in small groups, communication is going to be the key!

As always, we have lots of assessment to complete so we can group properly for maths and spelling.

What has been the highlight of your holidays? Mine has been joining the gym and doing heaps of Zumba!

Don't forget school closes at 1pm this Friday as we have a NZEI Union Meeting and Friday of Week 2 is teachers Only day (lucky you guys!)

See you in one sleep!

Hello my lovely Room 7

It was really so great to see all your smiling faces at school today, lots with haircuts and lots with growth spurts over the holidays!

I had a really neat day and can't wait to get stuck into our learning this term, I know the body and all our learning around that topic will be exciting and new for you all....we also have SPEECHES coming up this term, that is where you present a 3minute speech on a topic of your choice to the class. Wow, both those topics alone will be a challenge for you all. Oh and rock climbing, yes that's right, we go rock climbing at Long Beach later on in September.

Here's a question for you....what's the largest bone in the body?

Well done to Connor, Bayley, Caitlin, Jase and Jake G who commented on the blog over the last few days!

See you tomorrow for our first round of hard out cross country training!

Week 6

2010-05-23T00:55:00.000-07:00

Hi Team
It's Sunday night...where did the weekend go? What did you all get up to? I won't be into school tomorrow, Thomas has a hacking nasty cough and needs to stay away from his centre...yucky...hopefully he doesn't sneeze, cough or spit all over me (unlikely though!)

Please make sure you focus on your mega maths facts this week and your science fair...you ALL should be at the investigation phase of ASPIRE, which means the testing, making and analyzing phase...you've only got 20 school days before it is due in...DON'T worry about what your science fair board is going to look like yet...we will spend time in class on this...

I hope you read this before you see me on Tuesday, please leave a comment if you do!

I'll load the HP photos soon too, did anyone make some at home over the weekend?

Be good, see you soon
Ms D

83%

2010-05-16T19:57:00.000-07:00

So close...yet so far! We have improved from 64% to 83% in our mega maths month testing, but we did not meet the elusive *86%* this week in order to earn a choccie bar! Do you think you can do it for Friday?
I am looking for a solid 90% as a class average!

The top five photos from Room 7 have gone into the Otago Museum Photography Comp, a huge well done to all of you and to our 5 finalists: Lola, Matthew, Riley, Nic and Jake G, keep a look out for a display going up in the foyer of the school with a sample of our amazing photographs.

Finally, well done to Jaidyn for earning a certificate in this week's assembly, we are proud of you Jaidyn for your commitment to learning your X tables.

Ms D

Mega maths month

2010-05-12T00:40:00.000-07:00

You are all doing so well learning your times tables, our baseline score was 64% and after one week of learning and testing we have gone up to 76% which is fantastic, I wonder if we can reach 86% on Friday? Chocolate Bars all round if we can!

Remember there are so many awesome websites out there that can help you! Check out the links on on the side!

See you tomorrow!

SCIENCE FAIR

2010-03-31T12:46:00.000-07:00

No doubt you will have heard about the ‘Science Fair.’ It is a school wide event that has been happening at Balmacewen Intermediate for a number of years now. We are always very successful and a number of students go on to be very successful at the Otago Science and Technology fair each year. It is a great opportunity for students to undertake and inquiry of their own choice.

WHO: All Balmacewen Intermediate students will individually complete a science fair project guided through the process by their classroom teacher

WHEN: The Science and Technology fair takes place over the course of Term Two. All students complete a project which is due into their classroom teacher for presentation in Week 10, Monday 21st June.

From here all projects will be exhibited in the hall later that week and judged. The best entries will be selected to represent Balmacewen at the Otago Science and Technology fair.

WHERE: Students will carry out science investigations and learn how to put their project together, create graphs and procedural writing techniques in class. They will get some class time to work on their projects and the rest will be made up of homework time for the term.

WHAT IS A SCIENCE FAIR PROJECT?
A science fair project can be an invention, investigation or experimental research. There has also been a change that includes aspects of ICT use as part of an investigation – developing a new programme, animation techniques, Robotics etc.

TIMELINE GUIDELINES
 HOLIDAYS – WEEK 1: It will start with a big question, idea or aim that the student wants to explore. For example: ‘How can I keep the fizz in my fizzy for longer?’ ’ ‘How can I make myself safe on my skateboard coming to school in the mornings?’
 WEEKS 1-3: Next the students will need to research and gather background information around this big idea.
 They will use this information to make a hypothesis or (in the case of an invention) come up with a prototype or plan.
 WEEKS 3 – 7: From here the students need to come up with a plan for how they are going to carry out their experiment, invention or investigation. They need to remember to use a fair test, think about what they are changing and measuring and repeat their testing at least three times for accuracy. (This will be explained fully at school by their classroom teacher)
 The students carry this plan out over the next few weeks and keep a log book and take photos of the process along the way.
 WEEK 8: Next the students put together their results. They may use graphs, tables or written observations.
 WEEK 8-10: They then summarise their results, making reference to their hypothesis.
They will be given details and explanations at school as to how they must present their inquiry onto a display board. Samples of previous projects will be on display in the library and parents are also welcome to come in and look at these for ideas. (Pictures of these may also be on some class blog pages.) The display boards are available from the school library for $10. The rest of the information goes into their log book/clear file which will be kept with the display board for the judge’s reference.
The GUIDELINES used here are approximate and may change slightly.
We will have a lot of discussion and sharing of ideas in class and there will be notices coming home with additional information. But this gives you a basic run down to help you get your head around it all. If you have further questions please feel free to get in touch with me.

Putting it all together ....

2010-03-28T23:25:00.000-07:00

By now you all have had at least three 1:1 conferences with me regarding your ASPIRE....I hope you have all completed your interview and are in the stage of summarizing your information....

For example, imagine I interviewed my Grandma about "What changes did you see in toys over time ", from the interview answers and research I completed I will write a summary about what I found out and it would look something like this....

My Grandma remembers her first toy was made of wood and string, she received it in her Christmas stocking from Santa who she now realizes was of course her Mother and Father. She told me she cherished it for many many years until her brother Cedric smashed it in anger when he was 7. She apparently cried for days.
Grandma recalls buying a wooden spinning top for my Mother for her 6th birthday and she noticed that comparing the two toys, Mothers had a nib of plastic on it. Grandma thought back to her toys of her childhood and plastic was rarely on toys. I found out that plastic toys were not common until the late 1940s and since Grandma was a child in the 1930s, this will explain why.

And so on....

Remember.......you must ask if you are not sure!!!

That time of year is coming.....

2010-03-24T16:11:00.000-07:00

SCIENCE FAIR TIME!

Who has heard of a Science & technology fair before? If you have had siblings go through the school before you, then you most certainly will have seen the process that they have gone through.

We will teach you how to complete a Science & Technology project next term, but what YOU need to do over the Easter break is to come up with an IDEA! Often the hardest part...so you need to think about what you are INTERESTED in & what you want to find out...

Have a look at the slideshow below to begin your thought process & even do a google search to get you going!

Science fair ideas...have a look!

2010-03-24T16:09:00.000-07:00

How are we shaped by our past?

2010-03-16T21:10:00.000-07:00

Our focus for the next few weeks is looking at the ASPIRE model & the Inquiry process to answer our big question "How are we shaped by our past" ...you will need to be thinking about who you can interview to help you answer these questions, how about a Grandparent, or older neighbour or a work colleague of mum or dad?
You have all brain stormed some awesome questions about what you want to find out, but don't forget you need to have one BIG question that directs your learning and your thinking...

Over the next few weeks you should be bringing your log book to and from school each day so I can see where you are heading & so I can give you advice on where to head next... please post a comment with your BIG question and what it is you are wanting to find out!

Ms D

computer glich!

HEAPS of sporting & cultural activities have been on offer this week for the kids to sign up for, there has been; touch, volleyball, hiphop, Kapahaka, ripper rugby, recorder....and I think that is all...oh and Robotics, waterpolo and RTTV .....no doubt there will be more on offer shortly..keep an eyeout for choir and heaps of others!
I would LOVE to see Room 7 get stuck into these really fabulous extras that we offer!

I hope I get to meet the Room 7 community tomorrow night at Meet the teacher evening starting in the hall at 7pm followed by a chat in Room 7 after wards.

Our swimming sessions started at Moana Pool this week, thanks heaps to the two mums (Matthew's and Nic's) who enjoyed the 'stroll' down to the pool supervising our swimmers! I have initial assessments from Moana Pool if you would like to know how your child was assessed by Swimsation!

Have a fab week
