Penguins & Sharks















Last week, Room 8 studied the ocean as a habitat. We learnt about the different zones and many different creatures in the ocean.

The class watched 10 minutes of "Suzy's World" this afternoon and found the answers to our 2 questions - "How many teeth does a shark have?" and "Why don't penguins fly?"

After the DVD, we created a thinking map together as a class on our SmartBoard.

GPK Day

Last Thursday was our GPK Day - Growing Positive Kiwis. We played our favourite board games at school.

Room 8 is creating a hamper for the UHPS Gala and we have a "Paper Me" (stationery) theme. We are starting to have a small collection, thank you everyone! Please do keep bringing the stationery in, remember there are plenty of bargains at the $2 shop and The Warehouse.

Music Assembly

Last Friday, three talented musicians from Room 8 performed in front of the whole school. Please click on the video to watch their performances. Well done girls!
