All of our planning came together on Friday at 12:10 when our spider drink sales started.The bell rang and way more children arrived then we had expected. Good thing we were organised with lines for each team, jobs for each student and a desire to raise some money for our cause. We all worked together and ended up selling 233 spider drinks. I can’t wait to send the $233.00 into the Red Cross Christchurch Appeal next week. Congratulations Room 9, you did it!!

In room9 (us) we are selling spider drinks to our school. We are doing this to fund raise money for the Christchurch earthquake. The earthquake was 7.1

In Room 9 we have been looking for a way to raise money to help meet the needs of people in Christchurch after the earthquake. Here is an interesting video where some kids around our age explain their experiences.

This is our new student teacher Miss Fowler. She will be in our class for 2 weeks.

a few days ago we had to present our speechs in our class. Haylee and Connor represented us in the speech finals. They both did awsome jobs and Haylee came in first place. Great job Haylee for making into the inter-schools!!!!

Great work on this weeks photo challange Room 9. I love the devil on your shoulder idea. The rugby ball was good thinking girls, it worked out well. Maybe next time we can use the field when it's a bit dryer.

Hi we are the room9 blogsters. We will put new photos up on every week. We are the first people to do this in our class. I hope you like our photos!!!!

Our technology unit is off to an amazing start!! Congratulations to Rachel and Chloe who won our first class BP challange. It is great to see how creative you all are!!

This photo is an optical illusion. The shoe is actually far smaller than the people but it is made to look larger by placing it closer to the camera. The people are then made to look smaller by being placed further away. Your challenge is to create your own optical illusion photos.Take a look at the photos that we have in the class to get some ideas.

When Miss Lewis came into Room 9 she taught us a type of art called tapa. We made a HUGE mat of different tapa art designs. We made a few and had to choose our favourite one to put on the tapa cloth.

This is Miss Lewis. She is training to be a teacher at Massey University and she is with room nine for the next three weeks. Right now we are learing how to do tapa art patterns. We love to have her around and working with us.
