Randomland

Last week Room 8 invited us to Randomland. They were having an election to see who would be the Prime Minister of their country. They each had to come up with a name of a political party and they had to convince us to vote for them. Each leader did a speech. The greens said "vote for green, we won't be mean!". They also offered free money for the girls and a voucher to Hannah Montana. They offered free cars to the boys that went 350km/hr.

Here is Sam S and Sam H getting ready to vote at the polling station. There were 4 parties altogether. The Red Randoms, the Greens, Randomland First and the Fanta party. Each party offered lots of amazing things if we voted for them. One party said they would give us $1 million each if they were elected!

Here is Tyson casting his vote at the Randomland election- I wonder which party he voted for (its's a secret)

Athletics Day

Here are the ten year olds getting ready to do target throw. I think they will hit the target if they aim carefully. Ashlie came 1st in her age group for target throw which was a fantastic effort.

This is Ellen Sam'S and Macey having a photo taken during their lunch break.It was so much fun at athletics. We competed against lots of other pupils from around the Tasman district. Our relay teams did very well, our A team came 3rd in their race.

High Jump

Yesterday we did High Jump for Athletics. This is Eva jumping over the pole. She looks like she is flying the sky. We had to line up on the side that we write with. We do Athletics practise every day becuase we are going to be going to Lower Moutere for a competition against other schools in our district - it is going to be next Tuesday. The seniors are going on Wednesday.

Here is Shaquille leaping over the high jump -he can jump really high, it's like he has springs in his feet. We have been learning to do the scissors technique. Some people can even do the frosby flop which is even harder.

Snow Peas

This is Ashlie and Sam S with their snow pea plants. We all planted snow pea seeds at the beginning of the term and we took them home to grow. We were having a competition to see who could grow the tallest plant. Ashlie's plant grew 23cm, Sam S grew 33cm and Angus' grew 38cm. Angus transplanted his snow pea plant into his garden at home so he couldnt bring it to show us but he is lucky, he lives right next to the school so he could go home and measure it!

3D shapes

For maths this term we have been learning about 3D shapes. Daniel and Isaac made these cool pyramids. They decorated the "net" first then cut out the shape , folded the edges and pasted it all together.

We talked about the pyramids in Egypt and how they were built as well. Miss R has been to see the pyramids and she said they are "huge" in real life. The pyramids in Egypt were built about 3000 years ago! The Pyramids had underground tunnels in them and buried treasure. They buried their pharaohs (Egyptian rulers) in tombs inside the pyramids.

Halloween

It was Halloween last Friday ! Here are Sam S, Sophie, Jessica and Brianna at Miss R's house. They had hundreds of lollies and they all ate them in one night! Miss R was surprised. They had so much fun!!! Sam was an evil horse rider .Sophie was a witch so was Jessica and Brianna was a MOVIE STAR!!!!

Our school sold 92 bandannas and raised $372 which is a fantastic effort! Here you can see some of the Room 7 pupils wearing their bandannas, the designs and colours were very cool this year.
