Passion Project in M5
On Friday we decided what our Passion Project is going to be this term.
We got into small groups with other people who shared the same passion as ourselves.
Next we had to decide on what we would like to achieve at the end? What do we want our outcome to be?
Each group has their own Passion Project book which we can use together. It will be a book for sharing our ideas, sketching, brainstorming, note taking etc.
Watch the video below to hear student voice about The Passion Project!

Calendar Art 2015
Over the past few weeks M5 have been busy creating their masterpieces for our annual Calendar Art school fundraiser.
We did an ocean scene using pastels. We learnt about blending, perspective and colour.

Passion Project Brainstorm
Today Mrs Allen asked us a question.... "If you could learn about ANYTHING at all at school, what would it be?"
We had to think of our PASSIONS.
What is it that we are interested in?
What gets us excited?
What do we love, but don't know too much about?
We brainstormed our ideas on Answer Garden. The ideas that are written larger than others are the popular ones that other learners in our class are also passionate about.Look at all of the exciting things that we are passionate about!
Stay tuned for our next step...

The 2015 Rugby World Cup has arrived!
Finally, after 4 years when it was last held here in New Zealand, the Rugby World Cup has just kicked off this weekend, this time in England.
There are 20 teams from countries all around the world in this very popular tournament.
Everyone in M5 has been randomly allocated a team to support.
Do you know anything about the country that your team comes from?
This week we are going to investigate our Rugby World Cup country.

Congratulations Abi!
This term we learnt how to write a persuasive speech.
Everyone in the class chose their own topic to write about. We found it easiest to write about something that we were passionate about!
We learnt how to write an effective speech and what language features help to make a great speech - one that people will remember!
Congratulations Abi who represented M5 at the finals.
Abi presented his speech in front of a packed hall full of students and parents.
His speech was about factory farming, and how it should be stopped.
We are very proud of his effort!
