Our beautiful cloak room




Wow! Look at our gorgeous cloak room. We talked about how keeping our bags tidy was important so that people didn't slip or trip on their way into Room 8. We are so proud about how beautiful it looks.

Yoghurt!

Super special strawberry yoghurt!


In Room 8 we have been learning HEAPS about farm animals and the amazing things they do. This week we have learned about cows. Did you know they have FOUR stomachs? Did you know that they give us milk? Did you know that the milk comes from their udders?


We watched a video about how the farmer squeezes the milk from the cows udders. We wrote stories about crazy cows who make banana milkshake.


Today we talked about what we use milk for. Did you know that milk is used to make yoghurt? Even though we usually save yoghurt for eating at home we decided to make a treat. We helped Miss Dee to make strawberry yoghurt! Maybe we'll get to taste it tomorrow?

Godzilla!

We have been learning about monsters from other cultures. We have been talking about Japan and the monster called Godzilla. He is big and scary and lives in the sea.

Japan have a red circle on their flag. It is the sun. Their rugby team are called The Blossoms.

Haka



We watched the All Blacks do the haka. Then we drew pictures of either ourselves or an All Black doing the haka.


We also watched the HES Haka HIva boys doing the haka. They have been practicing each week. Do you think they are as good as the All Blacks?
