2015!

Wow, it's another new year at Paerata School!

This year we have an awesome group of Year 5 and 6s in Room 8. We are going to use our class blog to showcase our fantastic learning.

To start the year, I would like all students in Room 8 to complete this Google Form about what they think about maths.

I am so looking forward to having a brilliant year in Room 8! Miss Bolton

Sun facts

As part of our inquiry unit, Room 1 has been researching facts about our sun. We have shared our knowledge by created a Google Slideshow. Some people learned how to add transitions and animate their text and images. Enjoy learning about the sun. Please leave a comment!

Storybird Books

This week we have been using a website called storybird.com where we can write our own books.  We can choose the art that we want to base our writing on, then we can write our own stories.
