Little Gardens

In Ruma Rima we are a competitive bunch, who love to challenge each other. We are stoked to have New World Little Gardens back and the challenge is on to see who can make theirs grow the best. I am no exception to this and thought I should show how well mine have started!

Whats been happening in Ruma Rima

Our term is flying by, I am too scared to blink in case I miss anything! We in Ruma Rima have been learning about Space, playing hockey, painting murals and today the Yr 5/6 students were trying out their balancing skills on the slackline. The students found the slackline the ultimate challenge, focusing on being centred as they moved along the line. There were some very good Elvis Presley leg impersonations going on too! Will post images on murals when I take some photos.

Washing your hair is Space

This term we are learning about Space: Our Solar System. Our blogs are going to get very Space-ifed as we challenge our theories and knowledge. Imagine washing your hair with water which will then become your drinking water... Could we do this on Earth? Would love to hear your thoughts. Comment below.

My Biography video

Over the term in Ruma Rima we have been learning to write biographies. A biography is a information report about a person and their life. First we had to plan and research. We learnt to use keywords to find information. I found writing and researching about my band fun.
