This week we chose a goal from skills such as collaboration, leadership and resilience. Then we researched using YouTube, our buddies who were strong in these areas and our families at home. Then we had a minute to present what we had learnt. These are our slides:</span><br />

Different groups inquired into water pollution, kauri dieback, introduced pests and deforestation. First we had to do some research (learn). Then we created something original. Finally we shared what we had created. Here are some examples:</span><br />

We won one of our games 9 - 7 and had a few close games (including a 6 - 7 loss). Lots of great catches and some awesome home runs.</span><br />

We used food colouring to dye our wet paper, then wrote our pledges on top of them. If you like these designs we will be making calendars out of them next term. Come and see them in Room 3's window!</span><br />

This video teaches us that you can ask for help from many different people including:</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">-teachers</span><br />
<span style="color: #20124d; font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">-class captains</span><br />

Can anyone answer these questions?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">1. Where does water go if it goes down an outside drain?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">2. What is sediment and why is it bad?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">3. How can we help stop sediment building up in our streams?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;">Also there is a planting event in Underwood Park this Sunday at 12:00 (see photo for details).</span><br />

Room 3 watched some videos and picked up 4 tips to help us become better listeners. We didn't have much time to finish our videos this week but I think they do a good job of showing the main ideas.</span><br />
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #4c1130; font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">1. Focus on what the other person is saying, not thinking about what you're going to say.</span><br />

Epro8 stands for engineering, problem solving innovation. Innovation means thinking of brand new ideas to solve problems. John, Tufui, Yonatan and Danielle racked up 160 points (and had to hit their button to get points from the organisers) and came 7th out of 12 schools. Great collaboration guys! Can you share with us what was fun and what was challenging?</span><br />

In Week 8 the behaviour of the week is being respectful by keeping our hands and feet to ourselves. We know this is hard to do when you're angry so Room 3 researched some tips about what you can do. Here's what they learnt... can you work out what the four tips are?</span><br />

Well done to all classes for making such amazing films! And congratulations to Lillian and Yonatan for picking up best actress and best actor while Room 6 picked up best directing for their film. Keep an eye on the Wesley class blogs to see all entries later in the term...</span><br />

The theme is 'change.' Can you spot what the big change is in the film? We found making these films very challenging, especially editing the different shots and making sure they stayed under three minutes.</span><br />

We focused on different emotions, physical sensations and behaviours. For example, behaviours are things people do. Here is Noah's with their examples of these things. We know this is important because one day we will need it because grief happens to everyone! It was challenging because we had some new words such as anxious and presence. Our next steps are to learn what things are helpful for people going through grief.</span><br />

(nearly)<span style="color: #7f6000; font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif; font-size: large;">We are getting ready for the first ever Ako Hiko Film Festival. This week we have been reading some expert tips from Michel Mulipola. Then we wrote our own strories and planned how to turn them into films using different angles and shots. Stay tuned to watch the videos next week. Here is one group's plan. Well done Anaseini, Toe'umu, Lillian and Angelica.</span><br />

Each week we get a prompt and have to write exactly 100 words about it. Here is John's mysterious piece about a door. I have sent it to the organisers and it may be chosen as a winner for the week!</span><br />

This week we talked about having caves. These are quiet places where you can go to work. We also have mountain tops and swamps. Can you guess what they are for? Here's is Lillian's poster for our caves.</span><br />
