Week 8 Term 4


The past week was one of huge excitement. We finally had our market day which was a huge success. We achieved our goal of selling all our products. Mrs Richards was very proud of the children. She thinks they made some great products of high quality indeed.
Another huge event happened on the same day as market day. A new interactive white board was installed. It is totally awesome and we are having great fun learning just what we can do on it.

Kia ora. The weeks are flying by so fast. 
Room 8 have been very busy doing end of year testing. This has been encouraging because so many children have made good progress. That's what we all want isn't it? After our Maths Progress and Achievement I asked for feedback on what children found hard. This feedback was great because it helps me to have a clear idea of what the children want to concentrate on in these final weeks.
This will also help me with programme planning for next year.

PreP production is nearing completion as we look forward to the big market next week. We have had a lot of fun and learnt quite a few new skills including cooperating with each other. Its been great how the different groups have met up with production challenges and found ways to overcome these.

Games Sense fun with Julie.


Room 8 enjoy Games sense with Julie. Its a great way to learn new games skills in a fun way.
The term is flying. We have athletics coming up on Tuesday so have been out most days enjoying learning athletic skills. 
We have also been very busy setting up our Prep Enterprises. We are just at the stage of purchasing the materials to make our different market goods. Our Room are making cool toy bats, amazing masks, cute little soft toy bunny heads, wooden planes and aliens. .
