World Down Syndrome Day

Thursday the 21st March was World Down Syndrome Day, and Room 8 celebrated with Katie by joining in with the theme of crazy socks!  Mrs Lowden prepared a reading for us which we shared in class, it was really interesting to learn more about Down Syndrome.  There were lots of great questions and discussions after we read the information.

 

It was an extremely busy week in Room 8 last week!  Southland Exchange, swimming sports, crazy socks, relievers...phew! Lucky we had a long weekend to recover :)
Room 8 have been putting in a fantastic effort in fitness.  Have a look at some of these pics of everyone working hard!

 

Here is Katie looking very proud of her fantastic work she completed in hard materials. Great work Katie!

And also a pic of Room 8 with their Highlanders flags...we are hoping for a better result against the Hurricanes tomorrow night!
