Let it snow!

Last week Room 7 were amazed when it snowed in Auckland!  We couldn't believe our eyes.  Mrs Dawson thought that it was just hail, but we later learnt that it wasn't just hail it was graupel.  Graupel happens when snowflakes become encased in ice as they fall to the earth.  So we didn't get actual snow flakes, but they weren't hard ice hail pellets either.  They were soft enough to make into graupel balls.

You can see how much fun we had with the graupel in the pictures below!

Snow flakes are falling on my head!

Enough to grab handfuls!

Right, who is going to get this graupel ball thrown at them...

Who would have thought that our playground would ever look like this?

Skip to it!

Room 7 is busy preparing for the school 'Jump Rope for Heart' event on Friday, 2nd September.  We have learnt some new skipping steps and improved our fitness.  We all enjoy skipping.


That's team work in action in Room 7!

Welcome!

Hi, My name is Mrs Dawson and I have the pleasure of teaching Room 7 for the rest of the year while their class teacher is away on maternity leave (Hi Mrs Williams!)

Since the term began we have been full speed ahead with our learning, as we have so much to accomplish this term!  We are all very busy working on speeches as well as creating brochures to present our research at the IT Expo later this term.

Room 7 can't wait to share their learning with you all.
