**FEBRUARY** Our parents have been meeting with Mr Beggs and Mrs Blenkhorn. This is to find out how we do things in Room 8 and to help us all to work together to help us to be great learners. We all have some GOALS to work on. (If you didn't get to an interview - speak to our teachers who are keen to meet with you). There is a Room 8 Brochure which looks cool and reminds us of useful things.

It has been great to go swimming every day. We are getting more confident in the water. It is important to feel safe in the water.



Here we are learning how to listen to the road patrollers and cross the road correctly.

**This is our reminder about "managing self" - having everything ready before school.**





NURSERY SPIDER ~ Wow! Look at the NURSERY SPIDER! Izzy tells us that she made this wonderful nursery to keep her baby spiders safe inside. Yes, Izzy, you are right! ~ We watched the little spiders come out and move around with their silk safety lines strung out behind them. Some of them seemed to fly through the air!

There are all sorts of moving and thinking activities. We spend 5 minutes at each then move on to another one. Some are tricky. Some you have to think hard, others are hard at first but we get better. It is als ****<span style="color: #000000; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">o good fun! **

Everything was white. Many of us had not been in snow before - certainly not in Levin! Snowflakes drifting quietly down! Everything was so still for a change. **

I don't want to come last! I know I'm not the fastest. But... I will give it a really good try!"

<span style="color: #ff0000; font-family: Georgia,serif; font-size: 140%;">VISIT TO REEVEDON HOME On 1 December all the Junior classes visited Reevedon Home to sing Christmas songs to the people there. We walked from school and it was quite a warm day. Would the people like our singing? All the classes had practised hard. Room 8's special song was //Come and Join the Celebration// (the celebration of the birth of Jesus). Everything went well! And we all got a drink and a biscuit! We also gave gifts to the people at Reevedon. Room 8 made abig card and gave them a nice plant. media type="file" key="Reevedon Dec2011.mov" width="300" height="299" Room 1 singing - click PLAY

The Junior classes spent the day at the Horowhenua Aquatic Centre (what fun!!) then at the Adventure Park (even more fun!!) Lots of Mums and Dads came along to help. It was a warm day and quite a long walk. We were really tired by the time we got back to school - but there was a cold ice block for each of us! It was really cool fun whizzing down the water slide. The train rides at the park were pretty awesome too. Like our photos?
