Week 4 Blogger of the Week- whole class

Hi Family and Friends, welcome to Room 8's blog!

This week we have made our own Pablo Picasso pictures. We exaggerated our facial features just like he would have, and then used pastel to make them bright and colourful.

We had our first week of spelling, and Jess's mum came in to test us this morning. We all did really well and need some new words. We all love spelling!

We have had a lot of sickness going around our school. So we decided to come up with a plan to stop us getting sick in Room 8. The plan seems to be working because we are all well and happy.

We have been collecting prizes for the gala this week. We have had so many donations that we had to start another box! We want to win the class with the most donations, so we are doing to keep bringing things in. 

We have had a great week learning and we are looking forward to working hard again next week. We wonder who will be the first to get 25 nights in their reading log? This should happen this week! Exciting!

Thanks for looking at out blog, we hope you have a great weekend!

A seedy adventure!

Today we went for a walk to Harling Park with rooms 6 and 7 and we went on a seed hunt. We found lots and lots of seeds and had a great time. We are currently harvesting seeds in our edible garden.

Keeping clean!

We are learning about keeping ourselves clean. Today we used glitter as germs to show how hard we have to wash to get the germs off. 

Punga Hui

Every odd Wednesday we have our punga syndicate Hui. This week Tyrell and Niamh received their birthday certificate after having their birthdays in the holidays. Lucy and Tyson won the values award this week, ka pai! Keep showing respect :)

Ropes

Today we went on the big kids playground and tried some new things. Some of us had to be brave when we were up high on the ropes.

Swimming

Even though today was a grey day the pool was still 26 degrees so we jumped in for a quick dip!
