Room 8 Being Active in Level 3

 Room 8 has been in Level 3 lockdown at home. Our challenge for the Zespri Young and Healthy Virtual Challenge this week has been to be active. Here are two ways the kids stayed active.

Pet and Ag. Day 2021

 Pet and Ag. Day 2021

Room 8 took part in the school's Pet and Ag. Day. Because of Covid this year, we were unable to have the usual pet parade but we could bring a photo or video of our pet to display. As well as making vaseline saucers from flowers, we brought our home made exhibits to school for judging. Some of us made mini gardens or parks and some made mini scarecrows. Our made-in-class exhibit displayed our Crafty Creatures. We had learned about weaving and French knitting. Then we made these into creatures by making arms, legs, hair and googly eyes. What do you like?

Making Model Bird Shelters

Making Bird Shelters 

Room 8 children each developed a technology brief to construct a model bird shelter. We investigated available materials and the steps required in the process. We discussed the needs of birds and did a little bird watching around the school and at home. It was fun to spend most of a day at school, making our constructions to conclude this learning. 

Term 3 Mufti Day-Book Characters

 Book Character Dressing Up

Room 8 joined in with the school book character dress up day! Don't we look grand?

Autumn Art

For Autumn this year. Room 8 first printed leaves onto some black paper. We then sponged paint in between the leaf prints and completed the art with small dabs of gold!

Watercolour Tui

We were learning how to paint with watercolours. We chose to paint the beautiful tui. taking special notice of the textures and patterns around their neck.

STEM time with our Buddy Class Room 3

 STEM with Room 3

Room 8 joined with our buddy class, Room 3, to take on the challenge of completing  a project from specific criteria. We worked in mixed groups with the older students helping the
younger students. This time we had to create a package that would allow a raw egg to survive the impact after being dropped from 2 metres.
