Term 4 Activities
We have had lots on in Room 13 in Term 4. Some of this includes...
- Hip Hop lessons from our awesome instructor, Janey! We have used the new moves she has taught us in our Lip Sync routines. Well done to the "Watch Me Whip" group who are going through to the Lip Sync finals. This includes Tyler, Brandon, Jack, Austin, Josh and Cooper.
- Heaps of art activities - we made insects out of paper plates, caterpillars out of egg cartons, and now we're making some creepy alien/monster paper mache faces out of paper plates.
- A visit from a lady named Andrea from the council and her dog Roxy! She talked to us about being safe and sensible around dogs.
- And a hero themed mufti day! Lots of us dressed up as our favourite super heroes or our hero in life in general.
Watch this video to see a bit more!
We have also recently had some kittens visit. Check back soon to see our super cute photos of this visit!

Athletics Day
Last Friday it was Athletics Day at Hampstead!
It was a beautiful day and there were lots of events, including shot put, discus, sprints, vortex throw, high jump, long jump and novelty.
We all gave it our best shot, and Room 13 even won the relay race for the middle school! Woohoo!
Miss Chellew was based at discus for most of the day and got a few photos of us there. Then she ran in the teacher relay team against two year 5-6 teams and a parents team.
The parent's won! Followed closely by the staff.
Here is a video showing some photos from our day!
Also a big congratulations to Josh, Reneea, Austin, Riley and Tyler who got through to Counties for their awesome effort.
Well done to everyone for an awesome day!

Our Assembly!
Friday the 23rd October was Room 13's Assembly for 2015. We decided it would be really awesome to do a Rugby World Cup theme in support of the All Blacks over in England.
Our fantastic commentators Reneea and Josh introduced us and our items.
First we each shared an interesting fact about each country from the Rugby World Cup.
Here are a few of ours:
"Did you know that New Zealand is home to over 40 million sheep?" - Brandon
"Did you know that an Irish birthday tradition is to bump the birthday child's head on the ground? The number of bumps is the age the child is turning." - Apache
"Did you know that South Africa has over 11 official languages?" - Stacey
"Did you know that the National Animal of Scotland is a unicorn?" - Emma
Later we performed our "Grand Final" between the All Blacks and the Wallabies (and they have turned out to be the two teams that will play in the final!)
Here is a video of our performance...

Aaaaaaand the All Blacks are the winners!! (Here's hoping that comes true too!)
Next we sung a song for everyone - On Top of the World. Here's the video that played in the background while we sung...
Lots of us were nervous before our Assembly but we did an awesome job. It's something we are so proud of!
Thanks for reading about our assembly... ROOM 13 ROCKS!

Kahurangi: People of the Pacific
This week Hampstead School had some special visitors! A group called Kahurangi came to visit and performed a show called People of the Pacific. They took us on a trip around all the Pacific Islands including, Tahiti, Samoa, Rarotonga, Hawaii and last but not least..... Aotearoa!!
They sang, performed dances, taught us greetings, and told us a few facts about the different islands.
Here are some photos from the show:
