Why do we celebrate Waitangi Day?

Room 8 has researched information about the Treaty of Waitangi.  It is an important document in our country's history, but what do we know about it?

The students in Room 8 were asked to research about the Treaty and present this information using Google Slideshow.

For some students this was the first time they had used Google Slideshow.  I think everyone did an amazing job, especially since they only had just over an hour to research and present their work!

Our Fotobabbles

We have been learning to write a description using interesting vocabulary.  To show everyone what we have been learning, we have used the Fotobabble App on Miss Bolton's iPhone.

Here are some examples of our Fotobabbles.  You can see everyone's on their wiki page.

The new concrete

Today I got to school really early because my mum helped with the concrete.  The new concrete is outside of Room 5.  The wheelbarrows were full of concrete.  My mum, Jacob, Graeme and another man was there to help with the concrete.  The big green concrete truck was on the field by the canopy and the truck had to drive all the way by the PE shed when it drove on the field.  Here are some photos and videos.
