Breakout

We solved some tricky puzzles on Tuesday.

Room 8 participated in a Breakout - solving puzzles and using clues to find the combinations to open a series of locks and try and find out what was in the Breakout box.

We had to use many skills including collaboration, creativity, communication, problem-solving, close observation, thinking and perseverance.

Animal Adaptations

We had a great trip to the Auckland Zoo.

We are learning about animal adaptations - the way animals are suited to their environments.
Frazier, the zoo teacher told us about alligators and crocodiles, Galapagos Tortoises, lemurs, and how they are suited to the places where they live.

We got to touch a real snake-skin that was nearly three meters long.

Millennium Day

On Wednesday we went on a trip to the AUT Millennium Center on a bus. I was next to Caitlin and we were able to fit three people on the seat. The 3rd one was Sienna. She was next to Caitlin. I was starving like a  hungry dog. We had to go in the city and a bit past too.  

When we got there we had to get into our groups.   I was in group 4  which was the best team. Room 17 came with us. The first instructor  we had  was  Bridget. We listened  to our instructor. The other activity we did was kayaking. We  went  round  in  circles  and fell  out  of the kayaks. It  was  fun.
