Room 6 Has a New Star.

Well what an eventful day Monday was for Room 6.  Ryan Nelsen, former OLA pupil and Captain of the All Whites, visited school to hand out pedometers so OLA pupils can help the All Whites on their journey to 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.  Have a look at My Greatest Feat website www.mygreatestfeat.org/.   Go the All Whites!
Our very own Dominic was filmed in Room 6 for the TV programme What Now.  It was very exciting!  But the Room 6 star took it all in his stride.  Dominic was lucky enough to be selected to interview Ryan and ask him some very important questions.  We can't wait to see the interview on What Now in a couple of weeks time.
Miss Shaw was also another rising star, being a former teacher of Ryan when he was at OLA.  Miss Shaw was interviewed by TV One News.  To watch this great interview visit Mr A's blog at  www.olaroom8.blogspot.com/.

Air Force Museum Visit

The The A Team  had an excellent time at the Air Force Museum on Monday 3rd May.  Everyone had a great time experiencing what it was like to be at war.  Bombs raids, rescue missions or sitting in an Andover aircraft ready to make a parachute jump.  Check out some of our photos.

Have a look!

Room 6 has finally gone live.  I am very excited about this as we have so much happening at school both inside and outside of the classroom.  Currently our Inquiry Topic is Serving our Community and we have been looking at the two World Wars.  We have completed our Absorb part of our Inquiry with all the A Team having learned some interesting pieces of information about the wars.  I am sure many of you in Room 6 will have started to think about your bigger question(s) by now. 
Below is a very interesting link showing you what it was like to shop for food when it was rationed during war time.  Scroll down and click on 'Rationing - shop for food in 1943' in the Activities section. Good luck shopping!
