NEW SCIENCE BLOG

Hi everyone

Today Callum H, Cameron and Adam set up the Myross Science blog.

They were adding this information here when the system 'crashed' this afternoon.

I was just about to teach them how to add a hyperlink. That new learning will

have to wait until Wednesday.

Check out their NEW BLOG which they are in charge of. Add in what you'd like

to see on it and don't forget to become a follower!

Mathletics Surprise

We are very excited in Rm 8 about... MATHLETICS! Everyone has shown enormous improvement in just 2 short weeks. I am really proud of all of you.

Because you have all worked so hard, we are allowed to stay on Mathletics and participate in the NZ Maths Week Challenge / Competition next week.

This is a fantastic opportunity and I will put a link to more information under maths on the sidebar.

We have some fantastic Mathletes in Rm 8 and I can't wait to see how they do when they compete against other students from around NZ.

Mathletics Reminder

You only have three days left on this! It's been fantastic to see the improvement in your number knowledge over such a short time! You need to make sure that you are adding the comments about your learning so that we can think about whether it is worth continuing with or not.

I have been so impressed that you have focussed on your learning and have not become too distracted by the avatars.

Mona Lisa

Hi everyone - click on the link to the Louvre in Paris and have a closer look at the Mona Lisa.

This is part of a virtual tour where you can roam around this amazing museum and have a look at all the different art works.

The link I've included has hyperlinks where you can have a look at the other art works. Simply click on one of them and you're off! Comment on interesting things you learn as you travel around.

I will also add the link under links on the sidebar of our blog. I will teach you how to do this next week so that you can add your own interesting sites for others to look at.

Creative Southland Speech Competition

Today we had the Cluster Round of this competition. Samantha and Ellie were the representatives from Myross Bush.

I felt so proud of the way they spoke and presented their speeches. Well done girls!!

I was also very proud of Shinikka, who came along to support them. You are a wonderful friend to so many, Shinikka. Thanks for your support and encouragement.

Thanks too, to Hollie and McKeely who helped organise the classroom after school - and they even did some windows - using their own initiative. We are very lucky in Rm 8 to have a class of very awesome - in the true sense of the word - and caring students!

Production Stars of the Show!

I thought you might like to see the first publicity photo from our rehearsal today.

Hi everyone - we are having a great time rehearsing for the Production. Can't wait to share it with you.

Keep working hard to learn your lines.
