Making our school work for us

 Room 8 has had an interesting time lately, we are in the process of putting together a classroom furniture proposal for Mrs Hamilton as it is time to upgrade the furniture for the intermediates and we get to have our say on the matter. I have been enjoying the conversations we are having about budgets and feasibility. This is very sensible when asking for things we want. We have also had a chance to do some work outdoors. With our old playground being torn down we have had some good and fertile soil unearthed which we have gathered to be repurposed. We love being out and getting our hands dirty.

Challenge accepted: BIOPOEM

 For our writing task we did a "Get to know you" activity in the form of a Biopoem. Come to our class to have a look at the student's display. Well, anyway some students have asked me to join the challenge and make one about me. So here it is, now you know.

Online learning 2021

 Whanaungatanga is the theme for the year at our school and during this lockdown we have definitely shown this. Room 8 have been having our Google meets twice a day everyday and its lovely to see everyone and connect with eachother. We are keeping spirits high with sharing what we are doing and the students have taken to playing games with eachother. We can't wait to get back to school but for now we will see eachother online, and it seems space is where most of the students are finding themselves.
