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!

Feta Cheese

On Friday 15 November Miss Bolton brought some feta cheese to school.

The Fraggle Rock reading group had read a story about a boy who had feta cheese in his sandwiches.  No one in the group could remember trying feta cheese, so Miss Bolton said she would bring some for everyone to try.

Here are some writing we did about trying the feta cheese.

Today we tasted a different type of cheese called feta cheese.  It tasted like salty water, but cheese.  It felt slimy.  It looked nice.  The feta cheese was yummy.

Today Room 8 ate feta cheese.  The feta cheese looked like a piece of vanilla cake and it felt smooth.

Today we tried feta cheese to see what it tasted like.  The feta cheese looked like a piece of a cake, because it was shaped in a square.  It smelled like ordinary cheese, but tasted different.  The feta cheese felt like melted cheese.  It tasted yuck because it was like salty water.
