Book Week at school this week was lots of fun! The author we enjoyed learning about was David McKee. We loved reading  many of his books but particularly his books about Elmer the elephant. On Friday we had our dress up parade and we didn't really mind it was raining! We finished the day by being the presenters and  running our Team Totara assembly. Everyone in room 8 said their part, sat quietly and patiently and showed respect throughout. I was so proud that I gave everyone a togetherness AND respect token!

Here is Lily sitting in my teaching chair and sharing her 'ME' poster. Lily and her mum made
a lovely, colourful poster and had taken a lot of time making it together.
She  told us all about her family, her pet dog and that she likes to go on picnics and fly kites. When Lily grows up, she would like to be a doctor because she likes looking after people who are hurt. We think you would make a lovely doctor because you show our school HEART values every day. Well done Lily!

We made a tunnel down the ramp outside outside our classroom. Jayden brought an exciting monster car for news sharing and we wanted to see how far it would go. 

We had to work together to make the tunnel. We were very excited! Jayden's getting ready to let the car go.

On Friday, Indi sat on the teacher's chair and shared her 'ME' poster. She knew what she wanted to tell us and she answered some questions from her audience. We now know that Indi would like to be a mum and a chef when she grows up.
Well done Indi!

This is a sneaky photo I took of some children using the ipads at lunchtime.They are creating a story on My Story and we had a great variety of characters like princesses, dinosaurs, dogs. I liked the way everyone showed good focus and helped each other when needed. Well done!

Here is  Jack presenting his ME poster to room 8. He had thought about what he wanted to tell us and spoke very clearly. Now we know when he is grown up he would like to be a builder. It was great to see a photo of his dog, Rocky,  and I'm hoping Jack will write an story about him next week. Well done Jack!

Jayden  was well prepared when he shared his wonderful  'ME'  poster. He had certainly put a lot of time and thought into it. Room 8 were not surprised at all when he said he loves playing rugby and would like to be an All Black one day!
