More fabulous artwork!

Last week in Room 8 we finished our Pirate ships! They look fabulous now they are painted and have colourful pastel sails and accessories!
We have designed our very own board games! We are working on finishing our game boards to go with the clay counters we have made and painted.

Green-gold celebration

On Friday Muritai School was awarded the green-gold award for enviro-schools. We had a fabulous day starting with a powhiri to welcome visitors from around the community and the country. We then went into the hall for some great student speeches and a performance by our amazing kapa haka group. We then ended the day with a delicious hangi lunch! We were very lucky to have parents and whanau group members to help prepare and serve the food to us. It was a very exciting day! Take a look at some of the photos from the celebrations...

Green-gold!!

Antarctic Animal Study

This week Room 8 have started an indepenedent 'Antarctic Animal' study. We have each chosen an animal we would like to find out more about.
We are researching the following things about our animal: habitat, appearance, food, foodchain and survival (how does our animal survive in the extreme conditions of antarctica?)
We are using books and the internet to research relevant information to put under our subheadings.
Watch this clip! It might help you to think about the foodchain, where does your animal fit in the foodchain? What would happen if an animal was removed from the foodchain?
