Reverse Acetate Portrait Art
We are so proud of how our portrait art turned out. Come on in to Ruma Rima and have a look at it hanging up. The children worked really hard on getting them just right.
Excitement With The Arrival of The New Chromebooks For Yr 5 Students
There was much excitement in Ruma Rima on Thursday when students got their new Chromebooks. We can't wait for the digital learning to begin.
The Paper Challenge and The Plastic Cup Challenge
Working on as a team is a great way to get to know your classmates. There was lots of learning going on in Ruma Rima in our first week back at school for 2020. The children had to try to make the longest strip of paper by only using one A4 piece of paper and a pair of scissors. No tape allowed! It was a very close challenge.
Our next team challenge was to make a ten cup stack without touching the cups with your hands. Each team go some string, an elastic band, a cotton bud and ten cups. There was a lot of discussion and team work needed to complete this challenge!

Toki Film Festival
Toki Film Festival Review
Kia Ora Awahono School,
Actors:Jayden, Harrison
I am Luke from Karoro School, now I'm going to do a film review, and the one that I’ll be reviewing is The Farm, I really liked the lake and the end part because the lake had a good timed sound effect, the splash, and the ending was funny because a cow licked someone's hand. The sound quality from the mics was good too. It wasn’t bussing from the wind. Overall it was really well done!
Paragrey rap. By: Diana, Antonia and Eva from St Patrick's.
Hello St Patrick's School my name is Atawhai, and I personally think that this was a great rap. The rap was really catchy and the scenery was great, it showed a lot of great shots of Greymouth and the special effects were really good. The words were repeating, so were the images, and that made it sound and look really good. It really represented the theme, OUR PLACE, and of course our place is here in Greymouth. Well done!👍
Kids Country Calendar Review
Hi, my name is Harper and I go to Karoro School. I liked this movie best because it was full of cows! The cows were absolutely great actors! The baby cows were all so cute. I love how you filmed the cows being milked and the big machine swirling all the milk around. The car driving to the farm at the start and the car driving away at the end was really clever. But when the farmer was saying welcome you couldn’t hear him very well. Putting the Country Calendar music on at the start gained lots of interest. Your film really represented our place.

Book Review by Harper
Book Report
Title: Roald Dahls Revolting Rhymes
Author: Roald Dahl
Illustrator: Quentin Blake
What Made Me Read It: I love Roald Dahl’s books, they’re always amazingly funny. So when I saw this book I decided to give it a go.
What It Is About: This book has all your favorite fairytales in it. Cinderella, Jack and the Beanstalk, Snow-White and the Seven Dwarfs, Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs. Each story is presented as a very long and funny rhyme. Here is a small extract from Goldilocks and the Three Bears:
“This famous wicked little tale
Should never have been put on sale.
It is a mystery to me
Why loving parents cannot see
That this is actually a book
About a brazen little crook.”
Had the chance I wouldn’t fail
To clap young Goldilocks in jail.
Now imagine how you’d feel
If you had cooked a lovely meal,
Delicious porridge, steaming hot,
Fresh coffee in the coffee-pot,
With maybe toast and marmalade,
The table beautifully laid,
One place for you and one for dad,
Another for your little lad.
Then dad cries, ‘Golly-gosh! Gee-whizz!
‘Oh cripes! How hot this porridge is!’’

Division Bookwork by Lucy
W.A.L.T understand division. Division is in the family of facts, and can also be made into multiplication,
E.G.... 6÷7 in the same as 7x_=6.
This is the way I think that division is a-lot easier to do.
Animation by Lucy
Today we learnt how to do Animation, I, for one Really enjoyed it, and this is how we did it...
- Go to Explore and find a garden background,
- Find a blue cartoon butterfly on Explore,
- Put the butterfly on one side of the slide,
- Duplicate the slide by tapping the slide that your on with two fingers, move the blue butterfly forward a really small bit, do this repeatedly,
- Add another character from Explore on slide 1 and Ctrl+C it,
- Go to slide 2 and press Ctrl+V, move your other character a small bit,
- Do this repeatedly.
Maybe you could have a go sometime!😊😀
