Our Swan Plant

We have a swan plant in our class. On the plant is a very hungry monarch caterpillar. If you look carefully you can see eggs ready to hatch and a couple of tiny caterpillars. Everyone loves looking through the magnifying glass to get a better look. We all love looking at our plant. Thank you Mrs Ryan

Our Book Study

We have started our year with Charlotte's Web as our shared novel. These are our box fold outs and show who we think are the main characters of the story. We think they look really good on display.

Our first Week Back!

We have had a busy week despite the rain on Tuesday. We have been swimming, working on some ruler art, enjoying the ipads and learning to be in the classroom again after our long holiday break.

Our New Class

And wait there's more ...

School's Back

Welcome back to Term 1 2013

Welcome to our new school year.
After a lovely long holiday it is time to start a new learning journey in Room 8 in 2013.
We have wonderful students  in Room 8 this year.
Come back and see us often. We love messages. So please take the time to leave one..

We are starting the year with a small study on Butterflies. Have you seen all our caterpillars and pupas? Over the past few days we have see beautiful monarch butterflies floating over the Year 3 and 4 garden. Check it out on Monday morning if you haven't seen it. The garden is slowly disappearing because of the hungry caterpillars!

Merry Xmas Everyone

After a long and busy term we finished yesterday with our very popular carol concert. Room 8 performed "Twas the Night Before Christmas" to the entire audience. They were brilliant !
Thank you everyone for all your help and support over the last year.

Have a Merry Xmas and Restful New Year.

Luca was only person in Year 4 to catch a fish. It was not very big but it wiggled a lot.  We threw it back into the sea to get a lot bigger! He is our fishing champion of 2012.

Congratulations Luca!

How Many People can fit in a Square Metre?

What a challenge in Maths today! Students had to make a square metre of newspaper and see how many people could fit on it. 
Probably the right answer is 8 sitting and 15 standing but squashed up. There were lots of different answers and it was fun to try out.
