St Johns first aid workshop!

St john's workshop!

Today the fantastic room 8 got  to go  to a first aid workshop Katherine, From St John came to talk to us about first aid, and all the things you need to know, when there is an emergency. 
First we walked in to the library and sat in a rainbow shape then we got a card with the steps in an emergency then Kathrine demonstrated the steps and we got into pairs and tried to follow.

Next we had to  try to put on bandages on people it was fun and something I have never done before 
and I won't  forget  when we got into groups of 3 and we had  to remember what was in the first aid kit my group got 12 when there was 17 lastly the bell rang and we all went outside.

  

Escape room!

The escape room challenge!

On Thursday while the 7  & 8s went on a ski trip.
The year 5s and 6s had a escape room challenge!
First we  had  to find 10 clues, that were hidden inside the library, once we found all the  clues.  Then we had to solve them  they were quite tricky to solve, but together we solved them easily but some  of  the clues were hard so we used the desktop.
Everyone was so happy, when we found all the numbers because we were freeeee! 
but that's not the reason,  the prize for when we finish was SUBWAY!  It was great we never get subway at school.

super snow day

In the weekend it snowed and I made a snowman and made snow angels!  Me my brother and my Dad we all had a snowball fight.

I hit Dad heaps of times so he went inside. I made big balls of snow then me Mum and  Hayden went  on wintery walk down  to the farm on the way I shaped a skeleton head with the snow OOF! Hayden threw a snowball  at my  head and it hurt so mum started throwing snowballs at hayden until it started a snowball fight after all that I sat in my sleeping bag by the fire to  warm up the  snow was  so fun! 
 

pobble

One sloppy day a dirt biker named Max was bobbing  down a swamp on one tyer,
SUDDENLY a huge swamp monster appeared

It had trees  on its back and moss on its tummy its name was

Swampasuris rex. It was going to stomp on max
but all  of a sudden 4 elfs came swinging on vines and
started attacking the monster with small swords and axes.
then the Elf leader gave max a big hammer so max swung on a vine
and  hit the monster and it head fell off and max went to his home. the end  

My winter holiday!

The weird- the weird thing that happened in the holidays was that when I was at home some people drove up to our house and knocked on the door and  rang the doorbell i was  hiding with hayden and steven suddenly they tried to open the door  but then they gave up and left. Whew!



The wonderful- the wonderful thing that happened was that I had a party at the pool the gallants and the van der geastscame cause they were the only ones who wasn't on holiday we  had fish and chips and had cake was filled with M&Ms and jafers and played on the  big inflatable.



The worst- the worst thing that happened was I hit my toe on the  super bowl in  hanmer springs
it really hurt. 

Tessellations

In room 8 we have been learning about tessellations

When you are making a tessellation the 4 requirements are you must not  overlap the shapes and no gapes and  you have to repeat the pattern and you use shapes.

The person who connected maths with art was M.C.Escher   he saw the art when he was in india.
