Room 10 @ Glen Taylor School

A little McDonalds party for our ALIM graduates! Congratulations Hein, Makisha, Helena, Felicia and Aaliyah. Congratulations to Sar Yar Mon as well who couldn't join us as she was home -sick. Whats stars! I am very proud of your achievements and hard work! :)

Room 10 has been learning to story board for their film. Story boarding is where you draw pictures for each 15 seconds of your story and each picture is a scene you will shoot. This is one of the finished story boards created by Alyssa, Danait, Cyrus, Jerricho, Helena, Sage, Hayden, Hein and Ana.

It was super kind of Mrs Collins to give the team with the tallest standing tower a prize- M&M chocolate block! The boys were very proud and happy with their prize and achievement. Ka Pai Harry, Peter and Joseph! :)

In weeks 1 and 2 Room 10 learnt about Rube Goldberg and his comic strips that showed complicated machines completing simple tasks. We learnt a little bit about his life and how he was discouraged by his father to leave his passion for drawing behind and becoming an engineer. Rube did what his father wanted but got very sad and depressed working as an engineer for a large company. He quit his job and for a lot less started working for a Newspaper where he drew comics. What an inspiration! Click here to watch some of our own Rube Goldberg Machines !

Room 10 had Positive Puberty Talks all day on Tuesday. We learnt about our bodies and the changes to expect as we grown from a child into an adult. We had the opportunity to express our feelings, concerns and ask questions.

Room 10 and Glen Taylor Middle and Seniors are very spoiled this term. We have the awesome Miss Pax in school on Mondays teaching us how to box! We were very excited for our first round- here are some photos from the day.

This Term we had a combined Science Fair and Student Conference night. Thank you to all the whanau who came. Room 10 had a good time sharing their Science learning and their new learning goals.
