<div>
Room 8 had the awesome coaches Caroline and Laura come and teach us for 4 modules. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In our first session we covered 'saving money' and 'being trustworthy'. We looked at how to save, why we should save and how we can be trustworthy with our money and other peoples. We also discussed who we should trust with our belongings and money. </div>

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "tahoma" , "helvetica" , "freesans" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.85px; text-align: center;">Today we had visitors named Laura and Caroline come to our classroom and talk to us about how to we can save money and how to be trustworthy with money. I have learnt that people need to spend money wisely and don't get expensive things if you can't afford it. I also learnt if you can save money you should hide your money somewhere so that people to take it. To be trustworthy with money you should, pay back the money that you borrowed from your friend. The most important thing I learnt is that you should try your best at saving your money otherwise in the future when you are older you can buy whatever you want but only if you have the money to buy it.</span><br />

During our second session we looked what 'Identity theft' is and how we can avoid it! We also discussed how to minimise risks with things like having insurance, alarms and being sensible with our belongings!<br />

Here are some photos from our second session:<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px;">Today we learnt about insurance.</span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: start;">
It is a way of fixing a problem when something is broken of your life and they do that because you can pay a few dollars of money every month and help is on the way.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12.8px; text-align: start;">
And that is why I was looking forward to insurance during this day with PWC.</div>

<br />
The process took a long time, from brainstorming to planning, to filming and then editing! The best part about the whole thing was that our clever Room 8 students did it all!<br />
<br />
We started by brainstorming what topic we wanted to film on - since we had just finished studying "safety starts with me" - the students decided they wanted to teach others how to have safe hygiene.<br />
<br />
As a class, we then all picked our roles. Some students were script writers, others were editors, actors, directors and Miss Morrison was the person behind the camera!<br />
<br />
The script writers decided they wanted to make safe hygiene something that other school students would want to participate in - that is where the idea of the 'dab' came in.<br />
<br />
Room 8 worked really hard to put this altogether and we are very proud of it. We hope you enjoy our film - leave us a comment with some feedback and let us know if you will dab when you sneeze!<br />

<br />
Students had the opportunity to read all about 'Bonfire night' and how it became an annual celebration.<br />
We learnt about who Guy Fawkes was and what his role was in the Gunpowder plot! We also had an art session where we designed our own fireworks - this related to our Inquiry topic of Celebrations as we tried to design fireworks that would be 'let off' on a day that celebrated us!<br />
<br />

Students drew a random emotion out of a bag and had to try and write a poem on that emotion.
We used cues such as 'What would that emotion look like?', 'What would that emotion sound like?' and 'What would that emotion feel like?'.
<br />
<br />
The students wrote some AMAZING poetry. Have a look below and see if you can guess what emotion they were each writing about!<br />

<br />
At Midday we joined classes in the art room and made three different types of crafts that related to Halloween. It was a great opportunity for our Room 8 students to show their leadership, manaakitanga, whanaungatanga and ako skills! In the afternoon we made Halloween masks in Room 1.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos from the day.<br />

<br />
Students were given a grid of numbers and had to challenge themselves by making as many equations as possible with the numbers they were given.<br />
<br />
They had 3 minutes to sit and write them out.<br />
<br />
Here are some photos of the fun!<br />

<span style="font-weight: normal;">Today we had a duffy assembly. In the duffy assembly we had a visitor and his name is Myron Simpson. Myron Simpson is a track cycler. He has won 2 medals a gold 1 and a silver 1. Today in the duffy assembly I learnt if you go over 40 kilometers when driving past a school zone you will have to pay $700. I also learnt that everything that a cycler wears is made out of carbon fibre. Another thing I learnt was about the word aerodynamic. Myron Simpson told us that the fastest he has ever went on his bike was 110 kilometers. Myron Simpson is a role model because he does things that people want to do. He also inspires people that want to do what he does. I really enjoyed this duffy assembly because I got a certificate and a duffy book, I also got to wear Myron Simpsons sunglasses. <div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

Today we had an amazing assembly to celebrate the culture and all those who are Tongan at our school.<br />
<br />
We saw some incredible performances, from dancing to singing, to even sharing facts about Tonga!<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Traditionally in Tonga, Tapa cloths are made from tree bark and ink. We didn't have the time to chop trees and roll out bark so we got creative and used normal A4 paper with some tea!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">We use tea to dye the paper a light brown colour and scrunched it up to give it some texture. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Students researched Tongan Tapa cloth designs and got to work creating their patterns. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Here are some photos from the process! </span><br />

<br />
This week in Room 8 we are following the idea that we are always doing our "B.E.S.T." - which stands for Better Every Single Time!<br />
<br />
When we tried the maths speed skills, it meant that we were optimistic and ok with getting questions wrong or not understanding - as long as we kept on trying to improve!<br />
<br />
Here are some of the attempts from our class!<br />
Miss Morrison had a try too :)<br />

<br />
Today we learnt about black-out poetry we have been given a page from a book to do this you will need a page from a book and a vivid and all you do is pick some words that you want and you cross out the other words then at the finish it would look like a sentence. Here are some pictures to show what it looks like at the end.<br />

Story cubes are where you roll 3 dice and they land showing three different images. The task is that you then have to use your imagination and create a story based on those three pictures.<br />
<br />
We saw lots of really creative, unique ideas in the classroom. Here is Mary-Janes awesome work!<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.216px;">Images I used for this story - Tower, Flower and Key.</span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.216px;">One day a man named Jake thought of building a very high building, a few years past and his building was finished, He called it the long line tower, The long line tower was one of the world's biggest building. One day Jake went to go ask a builder to build him a custom made door, the door took for weeks because jake wanted it to be the best door anybody had ever seen. After the door was made Jake went to get his key measurements, the man the was measuring gave him the measurements and Jake walked down to the key maker and gave the man his key measurements. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 18.216px;">A few days went by and Jake went back to the key maker and picked up his keys for the long line tower, Jake was so happy he could get his tower more upgrades and make his tower better, Jake was over joyed seeing his key, he put the key in the keyhole and opened up his tower, it had all the gib wood in it. About a 6 months later all the towers walls were painted and they looked amazing, a quarter of the tower was a hotel some was a restaurant, some of the tower was a arcade for kids and adults, Jake thought of making the back and front of the building a garden for crops and plants so Jake got a great gardener and the gardener made plan grass into a beautiful garden with crops and flowers, Jakes Long line tower was getting popular and popular. </span><br />
