TERM 4
Apologies for our blog not been updated since term 2. Mrs P was away all term and didn't leave the password so we couldnt get into the blog. Term 3 was really busy, with Massive, 7 a-side tournie, red square day and while we were working Mrs P was on holiday in Africa watching lions, elephants, hippos, rhinos, cheetahs - the list just goes on and one - she had so much fun.
Mr Andrews was our teacher while she was away.
Now it is term 4 and it is a short term - we have already started with a testing week which was a shock to our system after having 2 weeks holiday. We are working on our CV's as this is our last year at LMS, making scarecrows for our new gardens, keeping ourselves safe programme and also training for the atheletics. This term is only 7 weeks and soon we will be leaving for high school. We will keep you updated - Room 8

TERM 2

2011-05-12T13:51:00.000+12:00

Back again - Term 1 has flown and now we are back into Term 2.
Camp was soooo much fun - we had brilliant weather which was just as well as we went for a long tramp to Taupo Point, up hills, over boulders, down cliffs........talk about hard work. We had a boat with us and some of the class were lucky enough to go out and check out the set line for fish - we did have fish and chips for tea but not from the set line.
This term we are making small houses for small people - one half is going to be a 100 years old and the other half is going to be now days. It is lots of fun.
Mrs P will put some photos up soon.
till next time - have a great week

FANTASTIC -GREAT FUN - OUCH! - FAB - TREMENDOUS - AMAZING - SPECTACULAR - COOL - FUN - CRASH! - AAAHHHH! - CAN WE STAY LONGER??
Back again - Had a fab time ski-ing on the Rainbow. You couldn't wish for a better day - it was sunny and very warm. The kids had soooooo much fun and it was great to see them improve throughout the day. There were lots of crashes, but lots of smiles as well. Even poor Katherine who broke her wrist but did manage to go to the hospital in the helicopter with Mrs Bowen to the hospital. So all in all a GREAT day was had by everyone.

2010-03-14T17:56:00.005+13:00

Hi and Welcome to 2010! I am sorry it has taken sooooo long to get started this year. Lots of excuses but hey I won't bore you with them Anyway it has been a fabulous start to the year. The New Room 8 looks good - that is the kids as well as the classroom which has had its make over.
Room 8 kids are terrific. I have been so impressed with their positive attitude that is already shining through. They have already done lots of quality work for me and I am sure it is going to be a fun year. My children loved the Variety Bash and wrote some wonderful pieces about it. Will put some on the blog soon. Coming up is the Year 7/8 tournament - always a fun day.
Looking forward to keeping you informed with all the wonderful fun things we get up to. Once again Welcome to room 8's BLOG!!

Billy Carts

2009-06-25T12:16:00.004+12:00

Keep watching this space for more videos, children's stories and poems. They are a work in progress and the children can't wait to share their fab work.
The Race was AMAZING and highlights will be on the screen as soon as the programme will let me. Yep there has been a bit of a clitch in the video making but I am trying my hardest to solve it. If I can't solve it then I will post some of the still photos on to the blog so you can all see the kids in action at the Race. It was a very cool afternoon and Room 8's trolleys rocked!!!

2009-06-04T16:03:00.002+12:00

Busy Busy Busy! What a lot of learning has been going on with these Billy Carts? The children have had to organise all of the materials needed for the carts to be built. Parents have taken the children to the recycling depot and all materials used have been resourced from all sorts of places. It has been exciting to see what the children have managed to find and a huge thank you must go to the parents. Your help has been invaluable! It has been great to see Mums and Dads helping the children at school build the fabulous carts. It has been a really exciting time and now the carts are nearly finished. Keep watching this blog to see the finished products.

Billy Carts

2009-06-01T21:10:00.006+12:00

We are in the process of making Billy Carts. The task we were set was "Who can make the fastest and safest billy cart that can go down School Road Hill?"
We had to do some research at first and find out what a billy cart was. What were they made of? What makes them go fast? After that we had to make a prototype of the billy cart we were going to make. We also had to source the materials for our billy cart and the task here was to see who could get all the materials without spending heaps of money! This was a challenge.
The photos are of some of us planning our billy carts.
So far it has been lots of fun. Keep watching this space for the final go-carts or billy carts as they are called.

Having Fun With Hockey

2009-05-28T12:11:00.001+12:00

What a lot of fun Hockey is? Room 8 certainly have lots of talented hockey players. And also no one got hurt! Phew! When they weren't playing you should have heard the music!!!!!! Hockey sticks make great guitars!

MASSIVE

2009-05-22T14:35:00.008+12:00

Doesn't this art look GREAT?

The colours everyone used looked effective and eyecatching!

WOW! Massive was so much fun! And our art looked awesome!!

Well done, all of the Lower Moutere School children, your art work looked incredible.

Congratulations to you all. We are very proud of our work!

CAMP

2009-05-10T14:41:00.003+12:00

CAMP TUKURUA 2009

2009-05-10T14:38:00.001+12:00

MASSIVE

2009-05-10T14:02:00.006+12:00

This year the school decided to participate in the visual art side of MASSIVE. Having been involved in the dance side in previous years we thought it was time for a change. This way, also, being involved in the visual arts meant that all classes could give it a go.
All the classes buddyed up with other classes. Room 8 worked with the little ones from Room 2 and the children from Room 4. It has been GREAT fun and Room 8 children have really enjoyed the challenge of creating art pieces as well as working with the younger kids.
Keep watching for the final creation which will be posted next week.

2009-05-04T15:41:00.006+12:00

Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you all but now it is time to catch you all up on the news.

Tukurua camp has been and gone and WOW it was GREAT! Everyone (even the parents) had so much fun. We went on one very long tramp which was not only tiring but lots and lots of fun. We also went and played on the sand dunes and also went on a Safari to Farewell Spit Lighthouse. That was a very early start but it was worth it. We also had the best fish and chips at the Collingwood Tavern. There were lots of memorable moments and the photos we hope will tell you and show you haow much fun we had. Tukurua Beach is beautiful. Everyone had a ball. It was the best camp ever!

Bouncy Castle

2009-04-01T12:30:00.008+13:00

April 1st is a fun day at Lower Moutere School. Our hall was turned into a mini market and children had lots of money to spend. The smell of yummy sausages permeated the air, the stalls had gorgous home baking waiting for hungry mouths to consume, it was lots of fun.

This day was organised by the School Councillors for the children to celebrate such a great term.

The above are photos of the terrific team from Room 8 having fun!

Welcome Back

Golf

2008-11-18T11:23:00.011+13:00

Room 8 are now keen golfers after having lessons with Chris. They had lots of fun learning how to 'drive', 'chip' and 'putt'!!! If I was Tiger Woods I would be worried!!!

Playing golf is tiring work and the club is a great tool to lean on!!!

Tiana has style with Meila cheering her on in the background

Hayley shows us how its done with lots of giggling!!

Aaron had a mean swing and could hit it straight and far. Watch out Tiger Woods!!!

Room 7 and 8 children in their own electorates of Appleton and Oakwoods, were seen campaigning for the children to vote for them. Policies were written.

People had to decide did they want cool lunches, or to be paid to come to school, or to have more computers in every room?

Posters were made, rosettes were worn, videos produced. The excitement mounted for the final day of voting!

And which party finally won?

Freedom and the politicians for the electorates were Natalie and Victoria who were from the party of Change

Book Character Parade

2008-10-31T13:57:00.018+13:00

What a terrific week Lower Moutere kids had. It was Book Week and this year was based around NZ authors. Room 8 had to look at 4 authors and find out lots of interesting things about them. They read lots of different books during the week and read to the juniors during buddy time.
Friday arrived and this was dress up as a book character and Room 8 looked amazing! Everyone dressed up and looked great. Mrs P was very proud of everyones efforts. Special mention to Sponge Bob who turned a box into an incredible outfit. Well Done Ryan! Great stuff Room 8 - you are a fantastic bunch of kids!
There was a fun parade to the sounds of Abba(what else??) and then there was a quiz where all children particiapated and were asked lots of questions about books. Wow Lower Moutere kids are really switched on about books.
It was a GREAT week. Well Done Room 8 for making it all the more exciting and special!

Sponge Bob (Ryan) was a favourite character of the day. Cameron and Dorian (well I think it was Dorian under that hair) certainly added colour and character to the day

Our cowgirl Jaydene and Little Bo Peep Savanah added a bit of style to the day

The Grim Reaper (Luke) kept all of the Lord of the Ring lads in line. (Aaron, Brock and Ricki)

No day is complete without our pretty fairies and Koha, Sydney and Natalie surely do a great job

Room 8 was pretty scared until Christopher andTiana revealed that they were the witches!

Pooh Bear (Sharnai), Bumble (Hayden) and a very cute tiger (Aaron) had a lot of fun on the day

Hayley Town Mouse and Meila Country Mouse came to visit for the day - thank goodness Slinky Malinky decided to stay at home!!

Mrs P and Mrs T came as the two princesses of the Senior Syndicate!!! Don't they look very regal????

2008-10-22T11:43:00.005+13:00

Welcome back to Term 4.
This is a busy term but it will be fun as well. What to look forward to - Book Week Character Day, Pet Day, Athletics, Your visit to your new High School, Year 8 dinner, End of year picnic (where shall we go?) and of course the final assembly.
You also have the photograph competition which is due in on October 31. So get clicking. Fab prizes to be won.

Poetry is fun!!!

No School Today!

No school today

I don't want to go to school today

no please I really don't!

You can pull me or push me I don't care I just truly won't!

They throw hard paper at me

and call me a mean name

especially when the

lunchtimes rain,

then teasing me becomes

their game.

So what if I'm a student

I won't be able to bear it

I would rather burrow down

under

and live a long life with a

ferret

Sydney

I'll vaccum the house for a month

I'll do the washing too

Please don't make me go today

I won't know what to do.

The students are all mean to me

You don't know what they say

They glued me to my chair in class

I'm teased in every way.

So what if I'm a teacher

I'll moan and wail and cry

I can't help what the students do

I feel as blue as the sky.

Natalie

I dont want to go to school today

Aaaahhhgg the boys are really gross

They get muddy and dirty

some of them pick there nose

All the teachers seem so nice

but its really just an act

They watch your evey move

And talk about you behind your back

So what if I'm the student

The teachers make learning hard

I would rather stay home

And relax in our back yard.

Savanah

Our champion!

2008-09-24T09:38:00.007+12:00

Speeches

2008-09-05T13:50:00.015+12:00

Yay - I WON!!!!

Chris working hard on his great speech!

Speeches are so much fun and Christopher and Meila did theirs with style and pizazz! Chrsitopher came 2nd in our school competition and Meila came 1st which meant that Meila was off to the Inter School Competition.

We were very impressed with Meila's as were the Judges, because she came 2nd out of all the Year 7 and 8's in the Motueka area.

Well Done Meila - we are soooooooo proud of you!

Here are the winning speeches:

Christopher’s Speech

“Mine!”
“No Mine!”
“mine”
“No Mine!”
“Mum, he’s not giving me my car”
“No it’s my car, you gave it to me.”“Well then who bought it? Me, so it should be mine!”
“But I gave you that $10 to buy it and you haven’t given me my money back and I want it back.”
“Would the both of you please stop fighting and go to your rooms. I’ve had enough already.”

Hi My name is Chris and my topic is on "I can’t possibly agree with my brother".
As you have heard that’s what happens most days around our house and guess what I still live in a house after 10 years of continuous fighting. I can’t think what made Mum keep him all of these years.
I just want to point some things out.
Number 1. I normally win!
Number 2. I normally win!
Number 3. I normally win!
And number 4 he normally cries and then he gets really angry and storms off. When I just want to push him to go agro I go “Shame you got I trouble! You got in trouble!” and then start to point at him and laugh.
Well we don’t need to go into details but he was an agro little boy on a rampage!
Now getting back to the point.
OK for an example when we go to a dairy and we have $5 to spend on lollies and I want a chocolate bar and it costs $5, but my brother wants a big lolly pop worth $5. I say if we get the chocolate bar we could break it in half and share it. But NO! I want the lolly pop and I’m getting it right now.
If someone could buy my brother I will pay top dollar, I mean top cent – any one 10 cents, going once, going twice, sold to that kid picking his nose.
But after a wee while I’ll get bored because I’ve got no one to pick on, I would get into lots of trouble because Mum has no one to yell at.
If you have a little brother would you sell him or keep him. If you sell him go to buy, sell or swap, you never know one minute you will have a little brother and the next you have swapped him for a cute little 2 year old sister!
In the end I would possibly keep my brother even though I can’t possible agree with him. I would keep him otherwise I would be bored all of the time.
OK I’m going to stop now because I have been talking for about 2 and a half minutes and that kid just picked his nose again!
Look there’s my brother over there – I’m going to tease him!!

And now Meila's Winning Speech

They may cook the food
They may do the house work
They may earn the money
But I can’t possibly agree that my parents have any idea what’s going on.
Hi my name is Meila and I’m from Lower Moutere School
My parents think they know every thing but really they have no idea.
1) Like Homework right, every night your parents ask “have you done your homework dear?”
And you just say “Yes Mother” because they never actually check, and how would they know what your homework is anyway?
When your parents are easily tricked like this it’s so easy to get out of the trouble you caused
2) Like when ya hassling your brother and sister, you know just generally annoying them for entertainment,
But then you go too far and they start crying and run off to mum and she comes roaring in like a crazy woman.
So you start crying to get out of trouble and say “Its all his fault, he started it” and she doesn’t know who started it and yells at both of you, then your brother or sister starts to cry even more which is even funnier.
I Mean how is she gonna know it was you that started it right.
But its not always your fault when you have to tell a little white lie to make life easier, some times its your parents being nosey!
3) For instance when your parents ask “who are you texting?” you don’t want your parents to know, so you come up with a random name like Sarah or Holly. As long as you don’t hesitate or say um, just out with that random name, they’ll never know.
4) Same thing on the internet “what you doing on there?” “oh um just playing online games, or downloading music.” When really you’re hacking into their trademe account and buying phone cards and expensive jewellery, How do they know anyway, most parents are like technological retards on the computer.
But sometimes you just can’t be bothered with what they have to say.
5) Like the times when Dad comes in and says “Have you seen The car keys?” and you can vaguely remember seeing them somewhere but cant be bothered looking or even thinking about it so you just say “nah” and carry on with whatever it was you were doing because how’s he going to know?

They may cook the food they may do the house work,
They may earn the money
But I can’t possibly agree that my parents have any idea what’s going on.

Aren't they GREAT? Well Done Chris and Meila! Fantastic work!

Technology Challenge

2008-09-04T15:52:00.011+12:00

The challenge was to make Paper Jandals out of newspaper, cellotape and string. The team's model had to be able to walk and then run around the courts without the jandals coming off their feet.
The results were great. Once again Room 8 rose to the challenge and had fun doing it. Maybe we do have some designers in the making here after all!!!

Skiing

2008-09-04T10:14:00.022+12:00

We are ready!

It's NOT FAIR!!!

We still look good even if we aren't up the mountain!

"Where's the snow?"

Thumbs down for not being able to go skiing!

Oh well no skiing but we can still have fun by DANCING in our ski gear!!!!

Skiing

Wednesday 3 September

We had been looking forward to this day for such a long time!

We were all hyped up and ready to go and guess what - it RAINED!!!

Mrs P said "Sorry Guys! Its a No Go!"

The following are what the children of Room 8 had to say about our skiing day:

“I just got the text it say the mountain is open! I’m going skiing, I’m going!”
As you can tell I was really excited about going skiing, but when Mrs P said that the weather was too bad to go I felt bummed out because I had been waiting sooooooooooo long to go.
It turned out ok cos we had a dvd instead! Phew!
By Jaydene

I woke up at 5.45 thinking that we are going skiing. I had breakfast, rushed around getting my lunch ready. 10 seconds later I got a text to say it’s on! I was so happy.
When I got to school Mrs P said “Sorry but we have to pull the plug!”
I was not happy at all.
Hayden W

Being woken up by my Dad and my alarm clock pysched me up. I was tired getting everything ready for skiing and falling off the T Bar.
I got a text from Dorian “It’s on!”
I text Tyson, time to get to school, go to the hall and waited a few minutes when Mrs P pulled the plug.
I was guttered, angry. The weather just had to be bad! Today everyone was restless!
Aaron R

I was awoken at 5.21! SKIING SKIING!!!!! I could not stop thinking skiing!
6.15 Beep Beep my alarm. I start rushing around getting ready.
The phone rang “It’s on!”
I was so excited and I jumped into the car.
“Come on Mum, hurry up!”
We got to school, 15 minutes later Mrs P said “We have to pull the plug!.................there was total silence, disbelief!
That was soooooo GUTTING and now I am at school pushing a pen.
How gutting is that????
Josh M

I got up at 5.45, dragged myself out of bed and got ready for skiing.
I arrived at school in the rain and then Mrs P says “We are pulling the plug, we are not going!”
I got angry, was tired and disappointed because we couldn’t go and that we had to get up that early.
The good thing things though are that I got a good big lunch and that we had a DVD day!
Dorian

I went to school so excited, BUT when I got to school Mrs P was ringing the Rainbow ski field. She decided to “pull the plug!” I was so disappointed!
Luke

My alarm goes off at 5.50am and I jump with a fright. Then I remember something – today was the day when the Year 7 and 8’s are going up to the Rainbow Ski field for a fun day of skiing.
I listen to the rain pouring on the roof and cross my fingers that it will clear up. Then I get the text I was wanting. The ski field was open!
I got all my gear together and get ready to go to school this early morning.
When Dad and I arrived at school it is still raining but not as hard as it was before.
Everyone goes in to the hall and then Mrs P disappears! She then reappeared and had some bad news.
“Sorry guys but it is really rough up the mountain so unfortunately we won’t be going skiing!”
Everyone sighed!
We were all annoyed and sad!
By Hayley

I got up at 5.00 in the morning got my bag packed for skiing. Then at quarter past six I went into Mot and got some lunch. At half past six I got a txt saying skiing was on and I got my hopes up. When I got to school mrs Puffet told us that she had pulled the plug on skiing and tthat made me furious
Darrian
I woke up so excited and energetic, I couldn’t wait for the day, we were going skiing!
We had all the Barbie and Mamma Mia CDs ready for us to sing on the car ride up the mountain and chocolate of course. But when we got to school at 7:15 this morning we were told that we had to pull the plug because of the weather. We were guttered, is sucked so much I had been looking forward to this day for a billion years. So now we have to sing and dance around in our ski gear in the class room

):

R.I.P class skiing trip 2008.

By Meila

Today we were meant to go skiing but the weather decided to throw a paddy.
This morning when we did the texting tree I felt so excited because I had never skied before.
So when Mrs P said “I’m sorry kids but we have to pull the plug”, I felt like a ton of bricks had been dumped on top of me. I was so disappointed!!
Natalie

It was 6:35 and I just got the text from Jaydene saying “Rainbow is open YAY!!” I was so happy I jumped out of bed and put on my gear and loaded up my bag. I was excited I was rushing around the house like a lunatic, then my mum dropped me off at school and Mrs P told us that we weren’t going skiing and my smile turned upside down, we were so bummed out.
Sharnai

Today I woke up with excitement. It was a day that was going to be full of joy and happiness. I was ready in like a tick I was in the car ready to go and enjoy myself. When I arrived basically half of everyone was there. As Mrs. P walked in and said sorry guys I knew what she had to say. My gosh the happiness in me sank to the bottom of my foot I was so saddd…but oh well we are having a movie day today so I hope that my happiness will be okay!!

I woke up at 5.45 with my alarm ringing in my ear. I had breakfast, got ready with my heart racing. I got the txt saying it is open. “Yay!” I forward the text. I get to school at 7.15 with everyone excited and all their gear ready. We hear Mrs P coming and she says “We have got to pull the plug! I’m sorry but the weather is horrible up there.”
I felt absolutely broken and was guttered! I had been waiting for this day!

Fabulous Art work

This art work was created by the talented artists of Room 8, after studying Fatu Veu'u. We based our pieces on the sea or the bush. Don't they look great?

Here we are practising our dance for our production "Grandads Surprise!" It was just before the dress rehearsal so we are all in our costumes! The dance was called Staying Alive. In the 2nd picture we are looking staunch! It was a lot of fun!
