Does taste require smell?
Smell and taste are different senses. Today in Room 10 we investigated how they relate to one another.
Our taste buds are on our tongue and can sense 5 different tastes: Salty, Sour, Bitter, Sweet and Umami (Savoury).
Flavour however, is activated by our sense of smell. When we can also smell something we can easier identify the flavour.
We tasted Jelly Beans, with our eyes closed, and nose blocked, so that only our sense of taste was working. We could taste sweet, but not much else.
Once we unblocked our noses, and added our sense of smell... we sensed more flavour.
We will write up our reports this week... stay tuned for more details.

House WARS
Recently I posted about House Points. Which we earn by showing respect to one another, to property, by playing fairly, by looking after our school grounds. Yesterday instead of competing with kindness we competed with strength in a round of TUG-O-WAR.
First we competed Girls vs. Girls in house groups then Boys vs. Boys. Finally finishing with whole house competitions.
In the girls competition we had two heats, then a final. The final was Kowhai vs. Nikau. Kowhai girls won, with Nikau coming second.
The boys competition followed the same format. With Kauri and Nikau in the final. Kauri came first, and Nikau second.
In the whole house competitions the final came down to Kauri vs. Rata. Kauri won again, with Rata coming second.
It was great that all houses got a place on the leaderboard, and the thing I liked best to see, was that when houses were not competing, they were always supporting another house. Cheering them on and displaying great sportsmanship!
Well done all houses. It was a great event.

Room 10's Friday Flash
This week in Room 10 has flown by, with Monday being a public holiday we have only had four days of learning time. With our assessments running next week we have been busy going over writing structures and mathematics so that we are ready for our assessments next week.
Mrs Raj and Mrs Parker have started quizzing some of us and have been very pleased to see the improvements in our learning so far. Well done Room 10.
Keep up the hard work.
HOUSE POINTS.
We have a new house point system with cool clear boxes to put our house points in. Now we can see who is in the lead in the race to fill the boxes. You can fill the boxes by showing respect in the playground, duty teachers have pockets fill of house points to give away to people who show respect to property, and others. Who use respectful language and play respectfully. Good luck to all the houses!

Term 4 kicks off with a Jive!
It's been heads down learning up week 1 of term 4. In week 4 we have our final assessments for the year, so we are all trying to learn as much as possible to improve our personal bests.
We've also been enjoying this amazing warmer weather and getting outdoors to practice for upcoming Glenbrae and inter-school athletics tournaments. This week we did 100m sprints and baton relays. It was tricky getting the hang of passing the baton but after a few practices we were pros!
In the upcoming weeks we will be practicing high jump, long jump, shot put, and discus.
Yesterday we had the pleasure of the dance fever team coming to teach us the Jive and some hip hop moves.
Check out our first go here.... pretty good already!

We also practiced some hip hop moves. May told us how it is all about sharp bold moves and attitude. At the end of the lesson we had a mini- dance battle. I think Hannah came off tops! Keen to see who is up next week to take on the hip hop battle.
Well done Room 10. What a great start to the term.
