Team work

                                      The Chair Game
This is a game that Room 8 plays. How does this game work? How this game works is that there are two teams and one of those teams are in the middle of the court standing on the yellow line.   One person from that team is the chaser standing in one circle on the other side of the runners. The other team are the runners but there is only one runner at a time. The runners have to stand in the circle then they can run away from the chaser . While we are playing the game Miss Bracey was timing us on how fast we were. 

Temper like an erupting volcano

Alyssa wrote a story board from the inquiry in Term 3 on Natural Disasters. The WALT was to create a short narrative on a natural disaster. Aiesha and Hope helped film. They wanted to create a video similar to Room 9's on 'What causes an earthquake. The girls filmed short frames and I had to work out how to make it into a movie. I think we all did really well!

Tamaki Haka

On Monday, Room 8 had Te Reo with the Kapa haka leaders. Their names are Andre and Chanel. They taught us a Tamaki haka that they have been teaching to the kapa haka students. we had to get into  two lines and then we had to face to each other other and do the haka. we didn't have much time so we did the haka one more time and then the bell went. 

I enjoyed doing the haka because its fun and it inspired me.

Christmas Finger Art

Aeisha

Earlier this week my class and I,
made some finger art. We had to plan what we were going to do first. secondly we had to go to the blue table and use the stamp pads to colour in our planing. And then we had to write our name on it and give it to our teacher.
I had lots of fun doing this activity our topic on our finger art was christmas.
For my finger art I did some snowflakes a penguin and snow.
