Cyber Smart

This week Room 5 learnt about keeping ourselves safe online and being wary of what we show about ourselves online. We looked into some online safety games called Safety Land and Interland. We also made infographics to show how to be safe while online.

Here is Elijah's infographic. What do you think?

Women's Suffrage in Room 5

In Room 5 we learnt about Women's Suffrage and how it impacted women and men in New Zealand. We discovered that New Zealand was the first to allow women the right to vote. Kate Sheppard played a huge role and is largely celebrated in New Zealand. Below is Josaia's blog about Kate Sheppard and how her story influenced him. Watch the video below to understand some of the work Kate Sheppard did to help create equality for the future generations.

We have watched a clip about women suffrage and how Kate Sheppard stood up for women. Kate Shepard is very famous now she on the 10 dollar on 1 dollar  but she should had been on way more because it takes a lot of  courage to do what she did. I think every one equally in gods eye but that my option

Refresh Your Senses - Room 5's mindfulness

 In room 5 at St Pius X we have been learning to understand our senses and how our mind works through the work of mindfulness. Everyday after lunch we partake in mindfulness to help us reset and refocus after lunch times. Sometimes during the day we can have things not go our way or as we had planned. Mindfulness helps us to remember that we can always turn our attitudes and actions around for the better.

We have learnt many techniques about calming and refreshing our minds for example controlling our breathing by tracing our hand with our finger. We have also learnt that it is o.k for our minds to wander off and we now know how to bring ourselves back on track. 

What do you to refresh your senses and yourself if you've had a bad moment?

It's Movie Time!

It's almost time for our movies to be played on the big screen and today Room 5 had a play around with making some of our own movie posters. The key is not to give too much away but keep both the pictures and the words interesting to captivate an audience. This was a quick one thrown together to help get some ideas flowing. How do you think we did? What do you think our movie is about?

Have a look at some other posters from Room 5 and see if you can pick our movie theme!
