Welcome to Room 8!

We had parent interviews on Wedsnesday.

In room 8 we have been doing monster collage. Here is Arlo with hers, stay tuned for a slide show of all our fabulous scary monsters.

We have a sausage sizzle today at New Lynn school.
 
We were excited to get our letters from our friends at Kilbirnie School in Wellington. We will be writing back to them next term.

This week we showed our fabulous crayon scratchbacks to the rest of the Junior Syndicate at our assembly. We looked at pacific island patterns and then had a go at making our own. Here is Johel's amazing artwork.

We have also been working on our crazy bug art. So far we have designed our bug shapes and painted crazy textures onto them with paint stampers. We have also created interesting backgrounds with crayon rubbings. The next step is to glue the bug shape onto the background, then we will add some collage materials. Here is Hetvi's crazy butterfly shape and Jeremiah's background.

It's been raining all week. We had to stay inside for lunch and we missed out on Syndicate Sport. I don't like it when it rains because we don't get to play games and sport outside.

In Room 8 we have been looking at Bugs for our artwork. My bug is a ladybug.

We have been doing sport, we got 20 points. We played Cricket. It was lots of fun! We also sent our letters to our buddies at Kilbirnie School in Wellington. We hope they got there safely.

On Wednesday it was Mufti Day. We could wear any type of clothes that we wanted to. It was fun.

This week we've been doing our Autumn leaves with crayon and dye. They look pretty on the wall.

We started doing Junior Sport. We did relays with Miss Tapper and we won 20 points.

We watched Little Red Riding Hood yesterday and then we described the characters. Red Riding Hood is good and the Wolf is bad. This was our favourite activity.

Today we were all very excited to see our website. We're looking forward to our computer time tomorrow so that we can upload art work to our individual pages. We hope you like our website as much as we do!
