Meeting the Sultan of Brunei - by Dev and Sreypich

Today we went to meet the Sultan of Brunei.

We drove to the basin reserve and walked up the hill to the Government House.

We sat on the grass in a line with another group, we all got a flag. Then the marching band came along with the army.

The Wellington Boys College did the haka performance.

There was also a Maori group welcoming the Sultan of Brunei.

The army did the 21 gun salute -  the first bang gave everyone a big surprise.

Then the Sultan of Brunei came to say hello. We all said your highness and nice to meet you.

Then we had a play on the field. We saw the big trees that Elizabeth 2nd planted in 1954.

When we drove back to school we saw the Sultan's big jet-aeroplane at the airport.

We all had a very fun time at Government House and hope we can go again.

Conserve Water - Posters

In Wellington there is a complete ban on the use of water outside. We have been talking about how to use less water and we made posters to tell others that we need to be thinking about saving water. We thought our posters should be - 

•  Clear, easy to read

• Colour – not too many different ones

                       Colours work together

                       Suit the message

• Words and pictures/symbols work together

• Message is clear and simple

Here are some of our posters.

If I Was The Teacher In Room 7

We read a book called Bad News I'm in Charge by Bruce Ingman. We had been talking about leaders and how teachers lead the class. We had to write an imaginative piece saying what we would do if we were the teacher.

****

If I were teacher of Room 7, I would….

Attend meetings even though they are soooo boring. I would just fall asleep and hope the people don’t notice.

I would drink heaps of coffee to keep my energy up so I can play fun, exciting games with the class.

I would make a stop to maths and homework and replace them with HOURS of playtime.

I would put things on the walls, game instructions, artwork, decorations and posters that say: Death to maths! Death to homework! HOORAY FOR FUN!

I would enjoy being teacher of Room 7 but for now I’ll leave that job for Ms D.

*******

If I was the teacher I would...

Always accidentally spill coffee on the children’s projects then give them bad marks.

I would have to have at least three good hours of video games.

I would never go to work without earplugs.

At three o’clock every day I would run round the school shouting hallelujah and play on the playground.

I would have a rule to NEVER eat fruit or vegetables.

In the classroom there would have to be at least fifteen pieces of rubbish on the floor.

I would tell everyone at maths time, “Maths is a waste of brain space when you can just buy a calculator.” Which is only the truth.

I would ban books because they are boring.

That is what I would do if I was the teacher.

IF I WAS THE…..TEACHER!        

           

If I was the teacher in Room 7 I would always have to go to meetings,

meetings are soooooo boring and all you do is sit around and listen to

people talking about rubbish. I would make up excuses so I

wouldn’t have to go to them.

Another thing I have to do is mark all of the kids books, I always have

books scattered all over my desk. While everyone is out having fun

in the weekend and after school I’m stuck inside marking everybody's

books, but its interesting to see what people do.

One of my favourite things to do is drink COFFEE !!! Its so yummy and

helps me stay awake at night when I’m typing on my computer. I love

computers because its so much easer then writing everything down

and the more you do it the better you get.

So those are some of the things I would do if I was the teacher in Rm 7.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

If I was the teacher in Room 7 I would:

Do really fun sports.

Go outside when it's boring inside and we would bat , throw, run and score.

We would practise for sports

I might be the fittest teacher.

My classroom would be really sporty

Sometimes I would join school sports around wellington.

I personally practise at home.

In room 7 there would be heaps of equipment.

That’s what I would do if I was the teacher in Room7.

By Toko

#############

If I was a teacher…

I would drink so much coffee.

I drink 5 cups a day.

I drink so much coffee because

I am always doing sports or

rushing to a meeting.

I hate meetings because I am

Not ALLOWWED to have coffee.

They just chat.

So I just go under the table and

Drink lots of coffee.  

When someone says we’re missing

A teacher I say I am tying my shoe

Lace up.

I wish I could have coffee.

Mainly we play sport, well not really

Me because I let them have free

Time. Then I pop into the classroom

And drink coffee.

I am obsessed with coffee.

That’s all the things I do.

By Lucas

If I was a teacher in room7 the sort of teacher I would be is a “just play games all day and have fun all day and every day’’kind of teacher.

Now that would be amazing! It would be pretty easy to imagine…Wow that’s awesome!!

I’ve always wanted to be a teacher. I know…I will go and get a full time job as a teacher!

The boring part of being a teacher is all the meetings! They can sometimes be so, super long and really boring!!!![yawn]I am so exhausted. What’s the time?[checking the time on my watch] Ahh its midnight! How about I sneak out! Yeah![driving home]

Yay! I’m home! Ow! man! Now I have to wait and sleep all night to work as a teacher at school. Not fair![yawn]I am happy that its morning. Whats the time? Oh no.I have to get all dressed for teaching at school!

By Ibanez

^^^^^^^^^^^^

If I was a teacher I would:

Wait I forgot to introduce myself. Hi my name is Dev I mean Mister. Dev.

So where were we? Oh yeah, If I was a teacher I would be creative (art).          

I am in love with art so… in my office I’ll have all the art works famous artists did on the wall. For me I am strict on art, especially on graffiti. I love doing graffiti in books, windows and walls.

Here comes the bad part detention Noooooo!

I like drinking coffee and that is the solution of staying awake in boring old meetings. Coffee keeps me fit when I don’t have my supps.

When I get completely tired of coffee I throw it in the bin.

Here comes the final thing I want to get rid of in my life MEETINGS NOOOOOO!! For me meetings are like terrors and I use excuses.

These are some of my excuses.

1:ring up sick

2:my cat died

3:car broke down.

If you need tips then you have come to the right person.

So these are my duties of being a teacher.

        Who’s the best teacher….

                    Me!

If I was the teacher in room 7 I would let my class have a class pet. They would be able to choose what pet they would like. Meetings are sometimes exiting but I wish they were more on Art.

For their homework they would do reading & writing.

Reading: They would read a book and answer the questions I gave them. If they are good at reading they would read 2 chapters.

Maths: They would go on Studyladder and do the set tasks I set for them.

On Friday they would each get a free drink at the end of the day.

And that’s what I would do if I was the Teacher in room7.

The Day I Took Over Class.

If I was the teacher in room 7 I would be an arty teacher with colours and colours of pretty artwork.

At all the meetings I always have my i-phone in my pocket so I can secretly text my friends and family, play games and call my friends too.

Sometimes there is lots of talk about art but most of the time it is about red cards and c-cards, so when it is talk about cards I pull out my i-phone and text my friend and family, play games and call my friends.

But when we talk about art I’ll always want to listen and talk too.

With my class I would have half the day maths, writing, handwriting, reading, and one game. Maths, writing, handwriting and reading would be quick.

And library day would be Monday and it would be at the start of the day. And sometimes…(“Or”)…ok all the time at the end of the day a cool as story at the end of the day. If I was a teacher in room 7 I would do all these things.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

If I were a teacher in room 7, I would always let the kids do sports in the morning, while I eat chocolate bars. I might let them have free time, but it has to be sports

I would always take the kids on field trips to sport games like netball, basketball, football and many more. I would probably take 2 cups of coffee with me because it gives me energy.

Sometimes I would go to rebel sports to buy sport gear for the school (but normally for me) I would buy netballs, tennis balls, shoes and heaps more (normally I would get told of by the principal for not teaching the kids!!!)

I might tell the kids to choose a sport player and we will might interview them in person or email them or something like that. It would be a lot of fun.

That’s why I’d like being the teacher in Room7.

By Nick.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

If I was the teacher in Room 7 I would be a sporty teacher, the kids could play sports all day. The children could learn how to play sports and then they would play all day with their friends.                               

We would go on every field trip. The sports that we would play are….. swimming rugby, soccer, hockey, basketball and sprints. It would not matter if we loose or win because it’s just a game.

Near the end of the day the school would do a sports rotation and the kids would choose what sports they would like to do out of rugby, soccer and sprints.

In the morning my class would watch sports movies and if they wanted to, they could bring their own movies to watch and they could bring lollies to eat during the movie.

In the class near my desk I would have trophies everywhere, all about sports. And little mini trophies around the room. 

That’s if I was the teacher in Room 7 of course.

By Regan

%%%%%%%%%%%%%

If I was the teacher in room 7 I would have lots of fun.

Every single day me and my class would just go outside and have fun.

Also if there is a meeting I am often late because all I do is have fun playing sports.

I don’t leave till 6pm because it’s just too fun.

For art we just do anything we want to do, because we are pretty much outside the whole day.

These are all the things that I would do if I was a teacher.

Tui

+++++++++++

If I was the teacher in Room7 I would be a sports teacher a teacher where

you help kids how to play sports.

I would teach them how to play rugby soccer tennis basketball and cricket.

We would go on trips to see lots of new trophies and get signatures from the rugby players.

Then we would go back to school and I would ask the kids what sport they would like to play for tomorrow.

That’s what I would do if I was the teacher in Room7.

By Cameron

@@@@@@@@@@

I am teacher of Room 7 and I will tell you how my class goes:

I have a fuzzy purple carpet and blue walls. We have a class dog called Fluffy Bum! He has a toy moustache.

Also I don’t go to meetings, the dog does, he wears the moustache and when he comes back he says WOOF!!! And that is all I need to know.

Now I will tell you about the rules. EVERYONE wears socks inside, and EVERYONE bounces on the mini tramp 10 times before coming inside.

My lunch is very yummy, I have one salty thing, one sweet thing, one bit of fruit and something starchy. 

Everyone gets hot chocolate at the end of the day.

I enjoy being teacher because I think being crazy is me.

Gabrielle

%%%%%%%%%

If I was a teacher I would . . .

Go crazy for art.

In my spare time I either draw fantasy, paint scenery & fold origami.

My class would be so bright you would need sunglasses.

I would always find myself doodling in every meeting because they are boring.

Uncle Bills & Smiggle I visit every weekend.

I JUST WISH I WAS A FAMOUS ARTIST INSTEAD

OF A TEACHER!!!!

By Lauren

If I was a teacher I would :

Hallelujah I’m going to teach Miramar Central School. I am going to teach Room7. 

No more homework for the kids. Hallelujah x2 no more vegies for the world. I am not going to give any homework to anyone {only if necessary }

I’m going to conquer Room7 mohha! Ha!ha!  I’m never going to get fired!!!

I’m going to prank the other  teachers, scaring the teachers to death, the favourite thing about pranking is the laughing.

Also too bad is that the school charges for coffee haha. I feel so sorry for the other teachers I get free coffee because I know the principal’s weakness brussels spouts .

Oh back to the pranks ok I’m right now thinking I’m going to buy some water balloons and fill them with water and close the door put the balloons in the recycling  bins and close the door and when the teacher open the door and goes in splash the teachers will get dripping, soaking wet.

I’m going to make kids favourite  food, chocolate fudge cake. Kids adore it when we co-operate to make it they always ask ‘ is it ready?’ It drives me crazy.

My class has so many awards, I am a little bit cheeky because I give awards every day and every time I think for a reason and they have so many awards {sometimes I give awards when they are bad}

That’s everything I’m going to do that’s how I teach.

Richard

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If I was the teacher……….

The carpet would be fuzzy, soft and purple and the walls would be yellow and bright and cheerful.

There would be a comfy book corner with a table and cushions.

There is a class cat called moonlight . She is gray and at the end of the day the children get to feed her and pat her :3

The days mean something!

Monday : fun day

Tuesday : news day

Wednesday : experiment day

Thursday : sports day

Friday : movie and popcorn at 1.15

Every day at 9.00 am everyone gets hot chocolate in a purple and yellow striped cup

I hope I see you in my class!

WHO’S THE BEST TEACHER …….ME!!!

If I was a teacher I would give my class hot chocolate

every Friday at 9oclock.

Meetings are boring I wish they were

more about wacky stuff.

HOMEWORK: they would play four tricks on any-body.

Read every second chapter of a chapter book & finally try

& make up two excuses for not eating their lunch.

MATHS: They would have a number for example

22 break up the 2 on the end and make it into something

wacky.

READING: I’ll make up a website called

Htpp/wackycookie/com/NZ. The kids would play set tasks

I gave them.

TOPIC: for topic we are drawing silly, wacky, funky looking

Monsters.

SPORT: we need 16 tennis balls and a wicket get 2 balls and throw

Them somewhere. Everybody has to run and grab a ball & try
& tag people.

Now you know who’s the best teacher.

Stella K

&&&&&&&&&&

If I were the teacher in Room 7 I would have fun with the children. Do some fun games outside and inside (also be silly.)

I will also drink coffee. But I will need two responsible Y6’s to check if there is some milk.

If there is no milk the two sensible Y6’s will buy the milk.

I will also need to give the children work! I will give them writing reading and maths. I will make work fun too! (Just so they will do their work.)I will make sure that work is not to hard and not to easy.

When the class has finished their SSR I will give out the notices. If I could sell ice-creams I will get some Room7 people to go to each class and tell them were selling ice-creams.

That’s what I would do if I was the teacher in room7.

Jane

((((((((((((((((

WHO’S THE BEST MANGA TEACHER IN THE WORLD????...ME!

If I was the teacher in Room7 I’d teach Manga. And it’ll be all over my

walls.

I’ll have a class every-second day. Each manga class will be

different each day.

This is my daily time- table:

10:00 Handing out pencils on the big table

10:25 art class opens

10:30 children come in

10:35 instructions

10:45 basic face

11:00 shading

11:15 materials

11:30 coloring

12:00 HOME TIME! !

Then once I’ve finished the day I will start tidying up for tomorrow.

Mostly I’ll see the same people each day, but if I’m lucky I’ll get to see new people.

I do different things each week…but I like to

Buy some new things like ink pens( Different colors!)And my

Favorite type of drawing is Manga!! & that is what I’ll do if I was a

Manga teacher in room7!

By Jessica.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I am a teacher.

I drink too much coffee.

I make up excuses for our class to win awards.

Homework for the week is to read 5 comics a day.

I would teach the children 4 tricks every Monday.

I love maths so my class should too.

I would have a shared lunch every Friday.

Me, personally, I like free time so I would have 20 minutes free time.

If I were the teacher that’s what I would do.
