Room 9 Is Dancing

Room 9 has gotten straight into dancing this year. We have made up our own little dance starting with the step snap, you step left, and click down by your side with your right hand then do that again the other way. We've also made up our own 8 beat dance moves by ourselves for homework. We had moves like the robot and the moonwalk. On Thursday we did a folk dance in a big circle. It was fun even though we had to mix up with boys and girls. We just hope that we don't have to dance at assembly! At the start of the year mainly everyone was down the bottom of the scale for wanting to dance. But look at us now, we dance mainly everyday!

Planting

A few weeks ago, Room 9 did a planting project with David from Tane's Ark. He told us about how to plant flaxes and hebes.
We planted flax from a seed and we planted hebes from a clipping. We used special planting mix so the plants would be healthy. We had to wear gloves so the mix wouldn't get into our skin and infect us.
After we had planted the plants we had to bring then back to school with us so they can grow.
Since that week the plants haven't made much progress. We have to water the plants twice a day.
Hopefully our plants will become big and healthy.
