Wonderopolis - learning about colours


Wonderopolis
Wonderopolis is a great website to go to. It has a lot of wonders that kids will like and think about.  It has questions like "why is grass green?" or "why do dogs eat homework?". There is over 1100 wonders on this page or maybe more!


This wonder is pretty cool, it talks about how colours I see may be different to the colours that you see. For example, your red might be my blue or  your green might be my yellow.
Heres the link to the website:


If you don't understand here's an e.g.if i see a red ballon in the sky you might see it but in a different colur like blue or black or orange

HOPE YOU VIST WONDEROPOLIS
THANKS BHARAT AND DHIREN

Introduction to Quadblogging

An introduction to our class:
Welcome to Room 1 at Henderson North Primary, in Auckland, New Zealand. We have 15 boys and 13 girls that are a mix of year 5 and year 6.We have a programme called BYOD (Bring your own Device), where students bring devices to school to help with their studies. We also have a 40 Book Challenge, students read books and record them in their 40 Book Book. We have decorated our classroom with artwork and displays to help with Writing and Reading and for more subjects. In our school we have different classes for Maths, but not for any other subject.

In our class the students speak lots of different languages including: everybody speaks english, 5 kids speak Maori, 2 speak Tongan, 4 speak Samoan, 3 speak Hindi, 1 speaks Gujarati, 1 speaks South African, 1 speaks Cook Island, 1 speaks Thai, 2 speak Niuean, 1 speaks  Tagalog and 2 kids speak Cantonese. Its cool that our class speak a variety of languages at home.

We have a swimming pool, teachers take students there at least two times a week in summer. Our school is a PB4L school, PB4L is an acronym for Positive Behaviour 4 Learning. Furthermore, we have PB4L tokens, children get these for being Respectful, Responsible, Friendly, a Learner and being Safe.
