On Monday we went to St John training. First we learnt about the DRSABC which stands for danger, response, send for help, airway, breathing and CPR. Next we learnt about severe bleeding in which case you would put pressure on the wound and elevate. After that we were taught to put a bandage over a severe cut to keep pressure on it. Next we learnt to sling an arm in an elevated position.
Apart from that we finished publishing our 'I Wish That I Had Duck Feet' poems, here are some examples: crocodile teeth, bird wings and cheetah legs.
Congratulations to everyone who made it to zones cross-country and even more to Beth, Ella, Jordyn, Alice and Estella who made it to Canterburys.
Also this week is our last session of choir and we will be starting kapa haka with Rooms 25 and 23.
Another thing is that the Year 6s finished cycle safety. At cycle safety they learned all the basics before going on the road.
That sums up Week Four. Have a great weekend!

The Ultimate Week 3
If you think you had the greatest week, think again! Room 27 did!
The Year 5s are writing this blog while the Year 6s are at Cycle Safety. It's been pretty quiet when the Year 6s have been out of the room! Miss Falkner has been able to get lots of Maths and Reading testing done while it's so quiet.
On Monday we started our Measurement unit for Maths. It's been exciting to see what people do and don't know. Some of us had forgotten what perimeter and area were but we are starting to remember now. Our first activity was on estimating. We had to estimate the length of different objects then measure them with a ruler. It was interesting to see the different results. On Wednesday we pretended we were going to the Olympics and we had to give our measurements to Olympic officials so we had to measure things like our hip to hip, toe to heel etc.
Our Inquiry topic for this term is to do with Water. We found out that agriculture uses the most water in Canterbury! We were really surprised that agriculture uses more than domestic houses! We also did a SOLO activity where we linked a whole lot of words to do with water. We had to come up with reasons why they linked.
Later on today we are going to Choir, then we have a senior Basketball tournament this afternoon. We can't wait! The people in our team are Ella, Myah, Jordyn, Beth, Jarkwyn, James R and Robert D.
Have a great weekend everyone! From the Room 27 Year 5s.

The epic start of term 2
We have had a fantastic start to term 2 we are going to tell you what we have been doing so far!
The cross country was really fun . Everybody put in great effort to finish the cross country. Everyone who came 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th and 6th will be going to zones whoever came 7th is the reserve for zones. so congratulations to everybody who ran in the cross country!!!
This week we have started AVAILLL to help us with our reading comprehension. The year 6 movie is Hoot and we have done surprise subtitles and the word hunt one. The year 5s are watching Hook and they are really enjoying it because they have never done AVAILLL before and AVAILLL is really fun.
Last Wednesday we had the water ignition day. There were so many activities that lots of groups did not get to finish the activities. We did all kinds of activities like a water blaster aiming contest, a sponge contest and so on.
Last week in writing we started our postcards. We write a holiday recount but in post card style. We write to somebody at home or at school. If we didn't know the address we could make it up we designed our own stamp and now we are doing our front picture.
