We got to spend the morning at the Sumner Surf Club, learning about being Sunsmart and played some games on the beach.

After lunch we got to go out and have a swim and a boogie board. Thanks to all our parents who helped walk us down and got into the water with us!!!

Finn's Postcard

Dear Skipper   
I  met  an  alien  on  the moon.  He  ate  stones  that  looked  like  cheese.  It  is  0 minus.  It is pitch  black.  He drew  pictures  with  stone.  I  had  a  helmet  with  a  flash-light.  he  can  see  in  the  dark.  he  lives  in  a  dark,dark  cave.
From  Finn. 

Dylan's Postcard from Space!

In Room 9 we are learning to write postcards. Today we had to pretend we were in outer space and write a postcard to someone back on Earth.

Dear Matilda,
I am on Eden 6-a very cold planet. It has light-blue ground, three tiny suns and a blue under-ground.
It feels freezing, minus thirty-four degrees and pure torture. It has no sound.
From Dylan.

The New Hall

Outside Room 9, some builders are building our new school hall. Today they are pouring concrete. They have already poured some concrete and made it look fancy with rocks showing through. Today they are pouring the rest of the concrete and smoothing it out. The concrete is in the concrete truck, but the builders have to wheelbarrow the concrete in. It is really interesting. Miss Dippie had to put down the blinds so we don't get too distracted.

We have been learning about statistics

In Maths this week we have been learning about Statistic.  We have made tally charts and graphs.  We made some graphs on the computer using excel, with information we gathered from the class. Here is some of them.

We are Room 9 at Sumner School

We are a class of year 3's and 4's.  We have a new classroom with an interactive whiteboard!

Our teacher is called Miss Dippie and she is new to Sumner School. She came from Nelson. She is a lot of fun! We have a special penguin friend called Skipper. He lives in Room 9.
