Over the next couple of weeks we are looking at 'Happiness'. To start off with the whole class learnt a new dance called the 'Cha Cha Slide' without knowing why. Judging by the looks on most of the students faces I think it is safe to say that dancing makes us happy! (and we may also need to work on our left and rights)
A window into 8GMc to see what amazing learning has been going on. Please return and leave comments for us.

Art and Pottery
Once again 8GMc were busy in Art and Pottery today. If you look at the above slide show you will see what amazing art work the students are producing. Not so many pictures of Pottery at the moment but as we get closer to making our caravans we will definitely be sharing more. Stay tuned for more updates in the upcoming weeks.
Library
Today we sorted some new books and had some quiet time reading. We are pretty lucky to have such an awesome library!

Art & Pottery 15th March
Once again 8GMc amazes me. I can tell you they are producing some excellent art work and pottery. Hopefully I can keep getting down during their time in the arts and get more photos to keep you updated. Hopefully some kids will start taking pictures of their work each week and provide updates on their blogs.

Synchronised swimming club opens in Hamilton
If you look closely at this picture you will see a student from 8GMc. Maybe we will see her at the Olympic Games one day representing NZ!!!
Art/Pottery 8 March
Today I went and checked on 8GMc in Art and Pottery and was blown away by some of the work I saw. Mrs Wing always amazes me with the art she manages to get out of the students and this year is no different. A New Zealand theme this year and from the photos above you can see we have some pretty talented artists!
Ms Wathen is no different in pottery with what she gets out of the students. Unfortunately when I showed up most students had finished their pottery on the wheel but I will be sure to get down earlier in the coming weeks to give you an insight into what they are doing in pottery. I have talked to Ms Wathen and she has some pretty awesome ideas about what they will be completing this year.
Stay tuned!!!

Blog Commenting
one day i went to the shop and bought some lollies and then i went to my friends house and plyed on his xbox with him and we played fifa and i was england and i bet him by 5 goals as he was so useless. after that we went to my other friends house and we played on the trampolean and we got burnt as the sun was shining so hot and we had no sunscreen on and the tramp wasnt under a tree and there were no clouds so we ended up red as. i did not sleep much that night as i was saw.

Science
Just popped into science and the students that aren't on fixture are carrying out an experiment on what clothing is best suited for the Tongariro Crossing. Get them to explain it to you - it is pretty cool. Looks like they have it under control.
