Room 8 had fun making decorations for their Christmas Tree. They made shapes, advent wreath and Christmas Angels. Here is photo of them displaying what they had made. On the last day Andrea Hannay baked a cake for Room 8. It was yummy, delicious and we enjoyed every bit of it.

A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Room 8 and Mr. Sharma to you all.

Ruma Wari Print Making

Room 8 have been learning about introduced species. For our art we did print making. First we photocopied an image of an introduced species in New Zealand that had become a pest. Next we placed the image on the polystyrene and traced the outline of the image. After that we used rollers and rolled the ink on the image. Once the polystyrene was covered with coloured ink, a clean piece of paper was placed on the polystyrene and firmly pressed then the top of the paper was gently rubbed. Finally the paper was peeled from the polystyrene and the colourful image could be seen on the paper. We had fun making prints of animals introduced to New Zealand.

Ruma Waru Matariki Poster

In Room 8 we made posters to create an awareness about Matariki. This year the Matariki celebration began on 28th of June. Matariki usually appears in winter. During Matariki people can do a lot of things such as celebrating, sharing kai and learning about the stars. Room 8 would like to share their work with you. With our Matariki posters we are also showcasing our information web we made during reading activities.
