I AM JELLY FISH

THIS week, we have been reading a book called I Am Jellyfish, written by Ruth Paul, and our learning intention was to

explore new vocabulary, and we used two coffee cleaners: the base and the outside of our jellyfish

We used fouttips, and to make our drawing staticley, we had to spray water to combine the beautiful dazzling colours

After that, we had to use some scrap paper to do our tentacles; it was really hard, and we learnt new vocabulary. Now here is my writing

THE FATHOMLESS BLUE

I drifted effortlessly in the smooth current. Swoosh, a shadow zoomed past me. I pulled out my stinging tentacles,

ready to fight. My harpoon darts let out a shock, but my transparent, bell-shaped body was impossible to be seen in the sparkling water up top. In the fathomless depths, the creature soared right past me, then I  let out another sting and killed the creature

In The blue

Last week, my class shared a book called I Am Jellyfish by Ruth Paul.

In the bottomless blue, I glide slowly. My long tentacles hang down from my soft jelly belly.

They are my weapons to shoot stinging darts when I feel danger.

Last week, our class was reading a book called I Am a Jellyfish .

Learning Intention  are learning to use new vocabulary from I Am a Jellyfish to make our writing more interesting and descriptive.
 As I drifted slowly in the bottomless blue, my watery body pulses and thumps. Water squeezes in and out, helping me to glide along the as dark shadows appear underneath me; they are safe

I Am A Jellyfish

Last week, we shared a book called I Am A Jellyfish, illustrated by Ruth Paul.

Our learning intention was to find new vocabulary and rhyming words. My favourite word was fathom.

First, we had to use coffee 2 flitters; then we had to color in with felt tips. We had to put on 4 crepe tentacles on both sides of our jellyfish so we could show our tentacles on our jellyfish.  Then we had to put our eyes on our jellyfish so it could stand out, so we could put them on our wall.

This is a photo of my jellyfish and writing.

My favorite part was when we decorated our jellyfish.

Rūma 1 – Movie Making Stars!

Mauri ora e te whānau,

If you weren’t lucky enough to come to our kura film festival then you’re in for a treat today.

Today our Movie goes live for the rest of the ao to enjoy.

This year our kura has been learning about our tūpuna and when they arrived to Aotearoa. This is where the inspiration for our movie storyline came from. With some help from Gemini and Chat GPT we were able to put together a short story with illustrations that show the arrival of our tūpuna and some of the main happenings during the initial years they settled in Aotearoa.

Valley and Te Aumihiroa were AMAZING narrators and found out that retelling a story isn’t as easy as we think it is. They had a strict director (Whaea Camille) who made them practice many times and had many takes to get the outcome we did AND they both did FANTASTIC!

You will hear the awesome tamariki of Rūma 1 speacking, singing and using different soudns for the background sound effects. This gave further detail and enticement to our movie.

We enjoyed making this movie and were humbled to be one of three classes who won our Tautoro Kura Film Festival for 2026, might we add that’s two in a row now. Paiā Rūma 1!
We hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Mauri ora

I Am Jellyfish By Ruth Paul

Last week, Room 4 shared a book called I Am Jellyfish by Ruth Paul.

Our learning intention was to explore new vocabulary and use it to make our writing more interesting and descriptive.  Here is my descriptive paragraph.

The Deep Sea

I drift passively through pulling currents. My slippery tendrils squish inside my soft jelly bell.

Suddenly, a dark shadow swooshes past me. My trailing tendrils sense danger, so I shoot a sting. I slowly glide away in the deep blue.

2026 School Ball

On Saturday the school ball was held at the Kawakawa union with the theme being peaky blinders. I enjoyed everything about the ball from the setup to the food to the music and everything else. I loved the photo booth as much as everyone else did because it was getting crowded every minute I also especially loved the train ride there it came very close to the feeling of peaky blinders because it was very vintage and fit the description. The train ride there was filled with laughter and excitement and full of high spirits especially because of everyone’s suits they prepared. this definitely was my highlight of the night. Personally I think I should have danced way more than I did because half the time I was sitting down, chilling and eating all the food. I liked the ball very much and wish I went to the ball last year.

How we got the new sleep out wrapped so quick.

We had split up into teams of two so we could do separate jobs. The plan and the goal was to get it done as quick as possible, we had two at the top on the staple gun, two at the bottom pulling for tension, two on the roll of wrap. The job was difficult as we had made a mistake by not making sure our starting line was square. Got the job done in the end and was a good experience.

Dream Garden

Today in Garden to Table we designed our ‘Dream Garden,’ we could grow anything we wanted. We have a Golden Apple Trees where the apples taste like beans or mangos depending on the garden, a Gummy tree that grows strawberry flavoured gummy bears, a Rainbow Mango Tree that grows garlic bread flavoured mangos, a Blood Fruit Bush with fruit that tastes like cookies, a God Apple Tree that gives you powers, a Blackberry Bush that gives you energy, a Candy Tree where the fruit tastes like flowers and a Sour Lemon Lightning Tree! We had a lot of fun, building the gardens was harder than we thought. 

I named my garden Candy Garden.
