Maths Fun

Today we  have been learning about reflection (mirror lines) and lines of symmetry.  This afternoon Mrs Hinde let us create our own patterns that showed reflection and many of them had more than one line of symmetry.  Check out our creations below.

Weet-Bix Tryathlon

This week for blog buddies Curtis and Riordan are going tell us about the Weet-Bix Tryathlon.

Rosemary and Hugh did the tryathlon on Wednesday the 15th of February.  They did swimming, biking and running. They ran to the bikes from the swimming pool so it was like they had  to run twice.  We took a photo of them with their medals.

Weet-Bix TRYathlon - By Hugh

On Wednesday 15th of February I did a big tryathlon for the first time.  My big brother Jono also did it but my younger brother George had to go to school.  First we swam 50m then 4km on the bike and ran 1.5km.

Blog Buddies

Every week there will be two different Room 8 children that will post something on the blog (with Mrs Hinde's help).  This week it is Georgia and Tiaana's turn.  They have chosen to write about our trip yesterday.

Yesterday Team 3 went to the beach and we had a fabulous day.  Once we got there we could hear the waves crashing.  First we watched a funny DVD then we had morning tea.  Then we went and had a look at all the IRB, knee boards, the big red tube, and the flags.  We played a game of seaweed on the sand and then we had lunch.  We got into our togs and ran out to the sea.  We played running relays into the sea and then we went on the paddle boards and caught some waves.  Some of the boys went out and caught the BIG waves with the lifeguards.  We both fell off our paddle boards. We had a great day yesterday.
