After some consideration two finalists were chosen. Room 5 was represented by Richard Fallon (Year 2) and Hayley Brown (Year 3) at whole school speech finals. Richard came first in the Year 2 final and Hayley achieved second place for Year 3. An outstanding effort from these two that Room 5 can be very proud of. Well done!

Super successful speeches!
Our focus for writing so far this term has been on writing to persuade or argue - which means to state our opinion on a topic and try to make our audience agree with us. The result of all our hard work in class and at home has been the writing and presenting of persuasive speeches. Mr Blake was very pleased by the effort put in by the whole class and it was very hard to decide upon the best ones.

Maths Week!
It's maths week this week. Take a look at this cool website that's full of games and activities to help us learn: http://www.mathsweek.org.nz/ . I've created logins and passwords for all of us in Room 5 and will be giving these to you this week. I encourage all of you to spend some time on here at home this week playing the games and exploring the website.

New pages in our blog.
Hi Room 5, I've uploaded this week's Homefun and have added some new pages to our blog with some practice sheets for basic facts and place value. I encourage you to practice these in your own time. So far I have added some stage 4 and 5 problems to practice, I will continue to add to these throughout the term and will also add some stage 6 pages later on.
