The last post

I should get some music playing here that you would usually hear on ANZAC Day but I won't.

Here are some of the things we've been doing over the last couple of days.

We've been making some plaster noughts and crosses games. The class have been painting these up too.

We had our fun day yesterday. Our class probably had the best timetable. Gymnasium in the morning playing some basketball and indoor soccer. Then we had some tennis followed by a sausage sizzle for lunch. After this it was time for a swim and then we finished with some art while it thundered overhead.

Today we had a special guest, unfortunately I missed out on seeing the guest but Angus took some photos, one of each student.

And here is a photo of Wian with a box on his head.

I hope everyone has a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Thank you room 8 for being such an awesome class I have loved every minute of it (well almost ;) )

YOU GUYS ROCK!!!!!

WICKED!

The children have started bringing their book trailers in over the last few days. Here is Mila's trailer on Wicked.

Gymnast of the year!

Erin Kelly from our class won Gymnast of the year for her Gymnastics Club, Hastings Gymnastics. She is super excited about, especially because she knocked the top gymnast of her lofty perch.
Here's a photo of her with her trophies.

Congratulations Erin!

WOOHOO!!!!!!!

Today we won the lunch time sport finals for handball. Here is a short video of the game (No we didn't travel to Taupo for the game, the location service seems to have messed up a little on the iPad)
I'm so happy that we finally won. This is my 6th year of working here, 5th year in charge of lunch time sport, and my class has not won once in that time. WOOHOO!!

Gold Badges

I should have been doing this throughout the year but better late than never.
Two students received Golds last Friday. Tyrin received a Cultural Gold and Carys received a Technology Gold. Congratulations guys.

Important task

Our class was asked to make a video showing the student's voice about working in a digital class. This is going to be shown to the up-coming year 6 students and parents next Tuesday night.

AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!! BIGFOOT!!!!!!!

Charliot and Carys (absent from the photo) created this impressive bigfoot wall display. It was only just small enough to fit into the class room, stretching to reach the 2.75m tall ceiling.
Well done girls!
