Welcome!

Hello and welcome to Room 8's class blog 2012!

We are going to have a fantastic year, taking part in exciting activities inside and outside the classroom! I am looking forward to learning about all your differing interests and activites that you are involved in.

Week Four - UPDATE

Hello Room 8,

We are already near the end of week four, how fast has this term gone??
I have been very impressed with our work so far in Room 8. We have some AWESOME jandals up on the front wall, NEAT buntings potraying our summer holidays and MAGNIFICENT Mihi's waiting to go up on the new wire. This week we discussed the importance of FEB 22nd 2011. The class discussions were fantastic and we shared many memories and stories about the tragic event.

SCHOOL TRIATHLON is scheduled for tomorrow morning. GOOD LUCK to everyone who is competing. I hope all your hard training helps tomorrow! Fingers crossed the day clears and the sun is shining tomorrow.

A VERY WARM WELCOME to Lily Etuati! She has completed one week at BALMAC and has already settled in nicely :) We are looking forward to your help with our class SASA. This week at school we began our Y8 Sasa practice. Lily showed us all the tradtional calls and moves for the Samoan dance. Now we need to start organising our own class sasa for the assembly performance on Friday 9th March.

I hope everyone has had a lovely week, best of luck for the triathlon and have an enjoyable weekend.

Miss Oliver :)
