Our New Lost Property Cupboard Has Arrived!!

No more mess outside Room 8 anymore, we now have a Lost Property cupboard situated in the hall. The money we raised from our second hand market went towards paying for the cupboard and many thanks to the 'Friends of the School' for funding the rest.

Lachlan looks at rocks under the dynoscope.
Hunter and Brooke look at some of Hunter's Rocks under the dynoscope.
Keziah has a go at twilling. This is when you wand a piece of paper around a pencil or something similar and then squash it to make certain shapes. You can create some very cool pictures.

Different Touches

Constable Ross talked about different touches.

Some touches can be confusing. If we don't like it we say "Stop it, I don't like it" and we tell someone we can trust.

Feelings

We can feel many different feelings. Here are just a few:

Can you guess how these children are feeling?

Rockband visits our school!

Wow! the Taieri High School rockband visited our school today. They played cool songs that they had written and composed the music to. We really enjoyed getting up and dancing!

Keeping Ourselves Safe

Today was our first lesson with Constable Ross! We watched a DVD about Bryan and Bobby who got lost in a shopping mall. We talked about what to do when we are lost.

- stay calm, find someone you trust to help, say where you last saw the person you have lost, give your name, address and telephone number.

Room 8's Market Day

Well Done Room 8! We made $71.00

at our Second- Hand Market Day.

The money raised will go towards

purchasing a Lost Property cupboard.

Everyone brought old books and toys

along to sell for 10 cents, 20 cents, 50

cents, $1 and $2. We all brought $3 to

school and went shopping. Everyone

went home with a big bag of goodies.

Thank you to the parents who helped

out at our market day and our seniors

who were the shopkeepers.
