Impact Documentaries

Room 8 Catch Up

It's been a busy few weeks in Room 8! Mr Walden has been teaching, we've been working hard on our speeches, Impact documentaries and plenty more. 
A huge congrats to Anna and Sophie for both making the Year 8 speech final! Room 8 was very proud of you both, especially Sophie who was the overall Year 8 winner! 
Jojo, Minjae, Caitlin, Johnny and Anna went to the Moon Festival at Columba College last Friday. We are looking forward to learning Mandarin next term.
There will be a Term 3 Review by Room 8 posted on here soon :) 

Another Super Room 8 Achievement!

 

Congratulations to Nikita who was awarded the Navigators Challenge Cup, for being the youngest co driver EVER in the Otago Rally round. Great work Nikita :)

Homework - Week 5

- Spelling: List 15. Make sure your notebook is signed off!
- Impact: Thinkers Keys - Saving the World. You need to complete any 3 activities. These should be in your homework book. I am expecting a very high standard of presentation with these! You will need to do some research for some of them.
- Reading Challenge: Keep working hard with this! I will be checking where you are at this Friday. Make sure you are writing the title and author, and getting each one signed off.
- Assembly reminder! Make sure you are getting all of your materials together, Wednesday is the  "creating day" :)

Another busy week in Room 8! Southland exchange on Tuesday too. Let me know if you have any questions about homework. Keep that chocolate money rolling in - brownie point if you get it in by Friday! 

Room 8 Eco Trip

Room 8 had a great trip out on Monday.  We visited the tropical rainforest at the Museum in the morning, then headed out to the Orakanui Eco-Sanctuary in the afternoon. Comparing the two environments was really interesting and relates to our Impact topic perfectly!
