BP Technology Challenge
On Tuesday 4 senior children (Max, Hamish, Abbey and Kendall) went to the BP Technology challenge at the Waimea College Hall. It was heaps of fun! We had 3 challenges to do. 2 of them we already knew about so we had time to plan them out at school. The 3rd one was a mystery challenge. We had to make a fishing rod out of newspaper and we had to catch as many fish as we could in 1 minute. Hamish did a great job of collecting 390 points worth of fish (each fish was worth a different amount)
We came third in the mystery challenge and we got a certificate and we could choose a prize. Hamish and Max each got a frisbee and Abbey and I got a drink bottle.

Comparisons with our Blog Buddies
This is what our Buddies sent us back today. Room 8 will create a venn diagram next week to compare the differences and see what we have in common.
Virtual High Five!
This is to say thanks to Mr Neal and the Mahana students who came to teach us about the game Ki o Rahi yesterday. It was awesome and we hope we can get a kit soon so we can start playing it at Ranzau!

Global Children's Challenge
Today we started the Global Children's challenge. We have all been given pedometers to count how many steps we do each day and to challenge us to do more. It is to get more children moving! At Ranzau we are really active so this will be easy for us to get our steps in each day! We have a stepper of the day each day so we will let you know who our champ is each day!

Hello Barnaby Class!
We really enjoyed receiving your comments on our blog when we got to school this morning. We would have been fast asleep when you were posting them! Now you will be fast asleep while we are posting this!
Some of you commented on our Star of the Week awards. Our certificates for star of the week look like this:
To celebrate our star of the week we make a poster that shows what is special about that person.
Can you show us what your star of the week certificates look like?
This morning we wanted to find out why your school was called Charles Dickens Primary? We knew Charles Dickens was a writer and now we know that he use to live Lant Street and that your school runs along Lant Street.
We also compared your school street view to our school street view on Google Maps!

Persuasive writing.
This morning we watched a short clip about a hover bike. We had to create a persuasive advertisement to persuade people to buy a hover bike! Our advertisement has to include:
Powerful adjectives
A question
A snappy slogan
The benefits of having a hover bike.

Netball Closing Day
On Saturday it was the last weekend of Netball for our 2 Ranzau teams. They have had an awesome season and they have represented Ranzau with Pride each week. Thank you to all the parents, siblings, grandparents and friends who have come along each week to support the girls. How awesome were Tim and Craig with their sideline support on the weekend?! I think we need to get these Dad's helping out with our Production next term!
Go Ranzau
