Speed skills

Today in class for a maths warm up we did multiplication speed skills.

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!

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!

Here are some of the attempts from our class!
Miss Morrison had a try too :)

Life education bus

Today in Room 8 we had our first visit to the Life Education Bus to meet Nicole and Harold.

We were learning about energy and where it comes from. The three main sources of energy are water, oxygen and FOOD!

We learnt all about the digestive system and the different parts of the body that make it up.
Afterwards we all made DLO's about some of the fun facts we learnt and what we did during our lesson.

Have a look at our work and leave a comment to let us know what facts about the digestive system you didn't know about.

The Holi Festival

Do you know what the Holi Festival is?

In Room 8 today, 9 of our students completed a reading on the "Holi Festival" and learnt all about what it is, why it is celebrated, and where it is usually celebrated. 

I could tell you all about it myself, but instead, why not have a look through their brilliant presentations!

Biking and Buddy Time

Hi my name is Troy. I am in room 8, we did biking yesterday with our teacher Miss Morrison. Me and my friends were having races on the bikes. I was on the grey bike, the biggest one out of them.

On Wednesday room 8 was drinking milk ''until room 1 came in''. My brother is in room 1 Rylan I had a task to do. I draw the shapes and cut them out and Rylan tells me what to draw and he sticks it on to the blank paper. It was fun.
