Blogging poetry

Remember to check out Room 8's Sharing Blog (see the link under favourite blogs) to see some of our poetry. We have chosen to blog either our Himalayan Haiku or a few of our favourite lines from our summer poems!

Stitching!

This term Room 8 have been working VERY hard to improve our stitching skills. It has taken a lot of effort, patience and team work!

We have been learning to:

• Thread a needle and tie a knot with independence.
• Sew along a drawn line.
• Design and make a wall hanging

Here area few photos of our finished designs! We think they look great!

Stars for Starship

And the winners are ...

The completed stars were judged last night and it was so hard to make a decision. Here are the winning ones from the Year 3 and 4 Team. They were a little different from the rest and hopefully they will catch the judges eye in Auckland.
Well done Eva O!
All the stars we send will go on the Christmas tree at Starship to cheer up the children who have to spend their Christmas in hospital.
Check out the judging last year and see where the stars go.

The rest of our stars will go on our class Christmas tree later in the term!

Athletics Day at Petone Rec

The sun was shining and everyone had a fantastic time last Thursday at the Petone Rec for our Year 3 - 8 Athletics Day!
Everyone tried their hardest, competed well and of course had a great time!
Here are a few snaps of the day.
Congratulations to our speedy Room 8 relay team who won the Year 3/4 relay race!

Thanks to Mr Hull and Mr Skilton for organising such great event and a big thank you to the parents who supported us!

Athletics

Here are details of the Athletic Tournament. It will be held, weather permitting, on Thursday 11th November at Petone Rec.



We look forward to seeing you there.
