Pyjama Day
Today was Pyjama and Wacky Hair Day. We all got dressed up and brought a can of food to donate to the Salvation Army!
Today was also the launch of Telecoms new charity, Telecom foundation. They came and launched to Christchurch part from our classroom.
We got to meet Jax from Master Chef, which was pretty cool. We talked about things we like, things we don't like, and what we would do if we were the prime minister for the day. Not surprisingly, lots of the things that we would change if we were PM were based around earthquakes.
For having the Telecom come to Room 9 we got a IPad 2 for our class!

Sculptures
This term for art we have been making sculptures. With Miss Smith for Arts Rotation we created clay sculptures of fish, pigs and bird. There was even 1 puffle. We got some newspaper, scrunched it up into a ball and covered it with tinfoil. Then we covered the tinfoil with clay. We had to learn how to add to bits of clay together. That is actually quite tricky. After that we painted them and decorated them with feathers, glitter and beads.
Unfortunately due to the June aftershock some of our sculptures fell over and cracked. But most of them were able to be saved.
Here is a slide show of all our photos of our finished product.

If I was Prime Minister for the day...
Today we have talked about what we would do if we were Prime Minister for the day.
Miss Dippie would make milk prices go down, and would have a free coffee cart on Fridays for all the teachers in New Zealand. She would also make movie tickets cheaper, and take Room 9 to the movies.
Imogen would make everything earthquake proof.
Tom S would close school for a day. He would go in a private chopper and fly all around NZ. He would race in a formula 1 race and in go -karts.
Xavier would surf down a hill, and go racing in a Formula 1 car. He would also give money to safely knock down the Grand Chancellor.
Gabriella would make a Harry Potter World in Christchurch and Auckland. She would fly around to different countries so she could observe their culture and learn their languages.
Jago would make a whole new village in Sumner. He would also make everyone dance for 5 minutes non-stop.
Kyra would get rid of any annoying people. She would also make all of NZ practise their spelling.
Tara would also make no annoying people, and get rid of earthquakes, and any other emergency.
Fletcher would make Sumner School a skate park and make Comic Life free for everyone.
Tom C would keep the world safe from earthquakes and make a world of guitars. He would stay in a fancy hotel.
Mary would make school holidays earlier and she would get more books for all schools because she loves books.
Charlie would make a whole new school for Star of the Sea and more classrooms for it. I make bridge all over the world linking different countries

Our new Redcliffs Buddies.
Since week 8 we have had Redcliffs School with us at Sumner as they wait for the cliffs behind their school to be checked. We are really enjoying having new people to play with. Room 9 from Redcliffs made us some amazing cards thanking us for sharing our school with them. We have decided to makes some cards back to them, because we know that it cant be easy being in a new place and not having all the things that they are use too.
Jago's Mice
Yesterday Jago brought his mice to school. They are called Jeepers and Creepers. One is light brown and one is black. They live in big cage. The cage has a little house, a running wheel, and two ladders that lead to the house.
They also have food and a drinking fountain. They eat apples, cheese and seeds. In the bottom of their cage they is sawdust and pallets to soak up all their mess. We are all interested in watching them. Most of the time they are sleeping in their little house. At maths times they have been having something to eat.
