The Amazing Race - Fast Forward Challenge

As part of our Cross Country training, we are competing in Rm4's version of "The Amazing Race" and today we hit our first "Fast Forward" Challenge. Their mission was to find a lolly in a bucket of baked beans using only their head, while their partner then goes on to solve a riddle, all in under a minute. The reward to completing the challenge was winning 4 valuable extra laps which could easily change the game. While only 3 groups managed to find the lolly, we all had great fun competing in it.

Water Rockets!

As part of the Casebrook Challenge, students are able to create and fly their own water rockets. We have decided to have a blast off competition to be held next week to support this. There is also prizes available for the highest blastoff, the most spectacular blastoff as well as the best looking rocket. Please follow the link to watch a youtube video on how to create one, from past experience, the budget brand bottles work best.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5w5hW8BfBlk

Hannah's Vanilla Cake

Hannah produced a fabulous vanilla cake for us all in Rm4 today. It was delicious!

Big Boogie Wednesday

As part of our All Right? Discussions, we decided to enforce a time each week where we were being active and enjoying our time as a group.  This was when "Big Boogie Wednesday" was introduced. Here is the congo line that formed during today's boogie. 

All Right? Campaign

Rm4 have been discussing ways in which we cope with our thoughts and feelings through the All Right? campaign run by the CDHB. You may have noticed the wee posters that have come home that show what we do in Rm4 to make ourselves feel all right. Here are our two posters we created as a class. The link to create these posters in your workplace or home can be found here: http://posters.allright.org.nz .
