Hi all, last Friday room eight had the privilege of presenting the first full assembly for 2009.  We chose our new 'Keys for Learning as our topic.  With the help of Miss Moorhouse who came up with the script we put on a mini production out lining the seven keys and our new motto 'Expanding Horizons'.  Enjoy looking at our photos.

Hi.  The kids have been working very hard on values and learning keys as part of their first unit, Growing as a Group.  Part of this included making 'kete' or Maori baskets.  A big thanks to Miss Moorhouse for her ideas and help with this.  We are also working on our assembly for this coming Friday.  We are first up and I am sure it will set the benchmark.... only up from here on in!!  No, it will be a good show and I am sure the school will enjoy it.  Please join us if you can.

Hi and Welcome to Room 8's blog for 2009.

This year Room 8 is a straight year 5 class of 27 children, girls and boys.

Summer is here and the days are generally sunny and hot. swimming is a must everyday and the school pool is in tip top condition.

We have a lot of fun things planned for the term from creating 'kete' for our values to a study on insects towards the end of term.
