Poems



So last week we watched kids say poems. Three finalists from each class stood up and recited their poems or a poem from the internet. Two from our class had a poem to share because one was away.They were all great and exiting to hear. After a lot of waiting Room 12 had  their turn to recite their poems!

Our Maths Test


Space_exploration.pngLast Week Room twelve had to struggle our way through a maths test. People were stressed, ambitious and determined while trying hard to accomplish their test.


We walked through the white door that leads to the classroom and Mrs Golder whispered “SSR time.” We walked quietly to our dark blue desk and studied. A few minutes later the staff room duties students came back from their jobs. “Time's up” shouted Mrs Golder. Once we raised our heads from our thick books and the first thing we saw was the numbers one, two, three, four, five, ten, fifteen, and so on up to forty minutes. I assumed that it was something to do with our test. A person walked around handing out our test booklets and our answer sheets faced down. Most of the children were nervous. Mrs Golder slowly said, “Turn over your books now.” She read the instructions and done an example with us.

“Ready START!” Mrs Golder said. 

Number two Pencils were writing, white rubbers were erasing, smart brains were thinking and intelligent children were testing. The number  Forty minutes was crossed off and only thirty five to go. After a tiring and extremely long time we heard the word STOP! Finally it was over. There were really hard questions. Number two pencils were broken and blunt.
