Room 8 have been so creative with their homework lately. This week the task was to draw a plan of their ideal bedroom. They had to be creative and think about what they would love to have in their bedroom if they could... The children drew elaborate plans with things such as hidden trap doors, 3D TV's and grass rugby fields. Some children built a model of their ideal room with materials such as lego, tinfoil, doll's furniture, popsicle sticks, fabric and lots of other creative things!
Mr Dobson came in and chose the 3 most creative plans or models. The three chosen were Lachlan's plan, Isla and Tom's models. They were all amazing!

On Thursday Room 8 had their first Life Education lesson all about being Happy and Healthy!This means thinking about what our body needs- exercise,brushing our teeth,eating healthy and many other things. We were also learning about different feelings we have, learning how to cope with our feelings and accepting other people's feelings that are different from our own.Here is a link with some information about the unit http://www.lifeeducation.org.nz/about-us/happy-and-healthy.phpWe are looking forward to our next session next Friday!
This week for homework our task was to construct at 3D pyramid out of anything we wanted! The pyramids look amazing and the children had some very creative ideas for example: newspaper, card, straws, lego, plasticine, ice-block sticks and even corn starch. Some of the pyramids were painted and had pictures of mummies and hieroglyphic writing on them. Some people even put pretend mummies inside! What a creative bunch!!
