End of Term

Today Room 8 had some easter fun making an Easter Card and a bunny bookmark. We folded paper and had to follow instructions. We think they look pretty good. Do you?

Big Numbers

The triangle Maths group decided to make the biggest number in the world with their abacus. We aren't sure if they did but it was a very big, big number !!!

Buddies

Room 8 love their little Room 4 buddies. They have taught their little buddies how to play pictionary.

Measurement Maths

Room 8 designed, measured and drew Captain Blood's Pirate Ship as part of a measurement story, introducing Metres as a form of standard units of measurement. 

Healthy Seas Healthy People

We have had a team focus on Sea week and we have been exploring sea creatures and what are the things that are not good for our oceans like overfishing, dumping rubbish, pouring chemicals down our drains and using set nets which over fish and kill lots of other creatures.
We had some fun making jellyfish in a bottle. Look carefully and you might see them swimming in the bottles.

A Great Start to 2017

We have had a great start to 2017 and its been very busy.
We started with lots of swimming and our swimming sports.

Evan was excited about his Bronze Certificate from Mathletics. Good job Evan.

We have done  lots of Science in our Stem room.  Room 8 shared the place with Room 9 and experimented with skittles. 

Why did the dye on the skittles spread this way?

And more Science Magnetic Madness!

We spent time exploring why things are attracted to a magnet.
