Snow Day

When I woke up this morning there was no snow in Kaiapoi and now it is fluttering down to earth covering it in a white winters blanket. Here are some photos of outside Room 8 this morning so you can see how the snow is settling. I hope that all the Room 8 children and parents have a warm day inside.

Writing in Room 8

This week we are learning how to write non-fiction stories. We have been watching videos about reptiles and writing some stories about what we have learnt. Check out link under our writing blog to read some of our published writing!

Cross Country

Last Friday Koru syndicate participated in the school wide cross country. Finally all of the training that Room 8 had done was going to be put to some use. Kaden-Taua won the race between Rooms 7 and 8. All of the children showed the Values and Beliefs and tried their best. What an awesome race!

Elgregoe Comes to KNS

On Tuesday Elgregoe came to KNS to perform a few magic tricks and talk about bullying. Room 8 was really amazed by some of the magic tricks especially when he made it snow. Here are some photos of his visit

Farewell to James

On Friday we had a farewell party for James who is moving to a different school. James loves to play music and he was given a black ukelele which he soon played and sang to. We hope that James enjoys his new school and comes back to visit us soon! We will miss his lovely smile every morning.

Lots of party food to share!

Room 8 and James wonder what is underneath the paper.

James can sing!

Welcome back to term 2!

Autumn is in the air, and we don't get much of a chance to get out once the winter months are upon us, so Room 8 went on an adventure to the Kaiapoi Domain to partake in some mischief. Check out our photos!

Geometry

This week Room 8 is learning about shapes. We have been learning about polygons and polyhedrons (2D and 3D shapes). Using some 3D shapes we had to create some sculptures. Can you find the cube? sphere? cone? cuboid?

We also have a digital game that you can play at home.
Have fun learning about shapes!
