Debates
We have been learning about persuasive writing in Room 19 and had a debate about the argument of whether Otonga should have school uniforms. It was a great way to practice our Oral Language and research our points.

Book Week
Last week was book week and was full of heaps of fun activities.
Tuesday we had a Shine a light show, where some of us even had the opportunity to be involved in this fun show.
Wednesday we had a Book parade where we got to dress up as our favourite book character. Everyone looked fantastic and Bella and Leonard even got prizes for best dressed!
Thursday we had a book swap day where we were able to bring some old books that were in a good condition and swap these for some new books to take home. This was a great opportunity to get books that were a bit harder now that we are older.
Friday was a crazy tie day. We were lucky enough to have Mrs Fleet as our teacher in the morning for Art and she let us create our own funky ties. They looked amazing and we got a certificate from Mrs Aitckson for how great we looked.

Museum
On Friday 17th June, we went for a trip to the Rotorua Museum to visit their Sunlight exhibition.Sunlight - Ihi KÅmaru explores the massive impact the sun has on our life on earth, including how crucial it is to our very existence and the prominent role it plays in cultures across the world. (Rotorua Museum). http://www.rotoruamuseum.co.nz/exhibitions/details/sunlight-ihi-kmaru/
We learnt all about how the sun travels to earth and then also about how solar power works. We are now carrying on this learning with Miss Laurence at school because of the solar panels on our roofs.
The exhibit is open until the 14th August and would be are great activity to go look at again in the weekend or school holidays.

Assembly Performance
In Week 4, Room 19 had our assembly performance. We decided to use this to learn a rakau stick game as part of our Matariki celebrations.Keeping to the beat was extremely hard but we worked with determination and had a lot of fun learning this new song. The school also had a chance to join in and they also found it hard to keep to the beat.
