our first problem was with the colour,we were going to put black on the bottom, but after we thought about it we didn't. I think I worked really well with Mali, my partner.
the Dewey system is cool!!!

Hello my name is Christian and i am going to tell you about what we did to make our Dewey Desimal System boards.First we went into the library to get ideas of what and how we where going to do it.

I think our boards have been a successes because they help you find different kinds of books that you want and there are all different colours so they make the library stand out more. The boards and the plates were cheaper than canvas so that was good but i think we could of made each tittle for our boards bigger so they stand out more.
by Brad

Our school has a new library and every class had to make something for it, our class made boards for the Dewey System. We did a sheet about it, we are publishing the evaluation box on the Internet. "My one said," I think the building and making was great. The painting was good but I think we could have had the blue lighter. It makes the library look brighter when you in because you see them straight away. Everything on the boards are clear and easy to read.

I think that the work we invested in it was worth it and they look awesome they probably don"t need more stuff to make them better.by Euan

Our Dewey System

I thought that it was a really good result and it will make the library look colourful when you walk in. There are heaps of colors it helps you find books.
Liam.

I think it was cool and ended out awesome. I think that the yellow and green boards could have more stuff on them. But the colours of the board stand out nice.

I think that the Dewey boards were a success because they stand out and they also were very cheap but I think that they could use some more detail in the background painting on the boards but apart from that I think that it was a success.
By Masaki

I think the Dewey board were brilliant because the colours were nice and bright .The writing was very clear.I don't like the pictures because they're very small
By Nathanael

dewey boards

I think our Dewey boards have made an impact in the Pohutakawa library. Our Dewey boards really stand out. Everything went to plan. they fit into the library perfectly
Katia

our dewey boards

I think the Dewy Boards were a really good idea.I t makes the library really colourful and bright. We had a few problems like gluing but we got throw them. I think maybe we could have drawn some pitches but they look goo d anyway

I think boards were a good idea because they were so cheap and easy to do it didn't cost anything.It was so fun to do. We used sponges to do swirls for patrons. We can now find the books we want more easily.

Dewey library board

We have been making Dewey boards and I'm going to tell you how i feel about it and what impact it makes for our library.
I feel that all the colours and pictures really stand out and I agree that every thing went well. It makes a big impact on our library because it helps us find the books more easily. Destiny

mali dewey decimal system

Our Dewey boards?
problem and successes?

i think i worked really well with kitty.

What didn't go that well was the gluing.I liked it because the boards were self made.

The colour was blue my favourite.It looks really cool in the libraryy but yellow looks the best.

The Dewey Decimal System is a system used in libraries it is very useful for people
that wanna find certain books.

By Mali Algie Becker

Dewey Decimal board

I'm Oakland,

I think my board went good ,but I could have drawn some pictures on it .

It helps us to find the books we want .

I feel that it was a really good idea and looks brilliant and stands out.

Naomi-Rose Evaluation for Dewey System

Our Dewey Boards
Problems and Successes?

I think choosing to have a pattern when we painted instead of it plain.

I think the Blue was a bit to Dark.

And that the yellow stands out more than most colours.

It makes the Library more colourful.

Naomi-Rose

Then we played netball we lern't how to pass propaly.

Destiny

Hi my name is destiny and I am ten years old.

I went to the Westpac stadium in Wellington with some of the other year six children and some year five boys yesterday. We went for a sports festival, the sports were turbo touch and turbo touch is when you run around with a rugby ball and try not to get touched by the other team and you have to have 10 people in a team. And there was netball and I think that Lucy all ready told you about netball. there was AFL and that is American football and we got taught how to do the drop punt and that is when you drop the rugby ball and you punt the ball to your partner. After that we did football which is American for soccer. And we also did tennis and that was hard because we had to do a challenge that we had to hit the tennis ball to our partner with out stopping put we had to do it up to the letter Z but if the ball hit the ground then we had to start from A again. then after we did that we played a game witch I don't know why that is called but it was fun. then we went back to the stadium chairs and got all of our equipment then we went to the bus and went back to school. On friday our school went to the town pools for our school swimming sports. The swimming routines we did were dolphin dive, free style, back stroke and breath stroke I did widths of the town pool witch is one length of our school pool some people did lengths of the town that is two lengths of our school pool and we get roods for who comes 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th 1st is an orange rood 2nd is an black rood 3rd is an yellow rood and 4th is an green rood. I came first in free style, second in back stroke, forth in breth stroke and forth in dolphin dive some of the length people did butterfly. and we have house groups that the roods go in but your roods go in your house group every one has one. The house group names are waipoua, Ruamahanga, waiohine and last but not least waingawa these are maori words. Every house has a diffrent colour waipoua is blue.

Hi I'm Brad and I'm ten and i went to the westpac stadium yesterday with the year six's and some of the year fives. There was thirty of us in a team, first we did AFL and we learnt how to do a drop punt then our next activity was netball we did some skills and then we did a game with four teams the game was first team to five at shouting in the hoops wins. Then we moved on to turbo touch we learnt how to play touch and we did a game and we did some dives and some shills. We next did football with some of the Phoenix and we did ball rush with a ball. Christian got a Phoenix jacket for saying thank you. last was tennis we did some fun games and compitations
