Teacher only day + interviews tomorrow!

Please call the office or log into the website www.schoolinterviews.co.nz to book in a time to see me tomorrow.
I would love to discuss your child's learning with you and celebrate their successes.

Social Actions...in action

There are so many social actions underway in Room 8 at the moment. Soccer club, rubbish collection, helping the homeless, money collection for the SPCA.  How cool is it that we can make a difference in this world!!!

Financial Literacy

What a fun way to learn about money.  Thanks ASB for the great experience, we thought you were super funny and we loved learning about interest.

Masters Student

Kate Muller is Room 8's masters student.  She will be in our Room every Friday for the rest of this term and then full time from week 3 next term until the end of term.

We are excited to have her as part of our class and school. 

Fitness with Project Energise

Once again Erin has taught us some great skills in a fun way.  We enjoyed playing sheepdogs, line running and addition tiggy.

Tough Young Guys and Girls from Room 8

Here are some photos from our Mud Run challenge:

Tough Young Guy and Girl Challenge

Tomorrow Mrs D out of class taking a group of 27 students to the Tough Young Guy and Girl Challenge.  If you are in the challenge you need to be at school by 8.30am.  If you are not in the challenge you have been split into different classes.  Have fun in your new learning environments for the day!

Maths - ICAN

We have been working hard to become self directed learners.  We have ICAN sheets that tell us our goals for our level.  Mrs D has then helped us put together a range of ideas, games and activities to help us achieve each goal.  Here are some photos of us learning our doubles, times tables and quick facts in fun and interesting ways.

Descriptive Writing

Last week we wrote character descriptions (ask us about our 'twit child').  Now we have moved onto setting descriptions.  Here we had to use our senses, adjectives and a simile to describe what it would be like in this setting.  

Room 8 are focused writers that are working on making their writing interesting through specific language features.
