Miss Hansson's Room 8 Class
Diorama Construction
Home-fun (Homework): Wow thank you for the terrific shoe boxes. We have spent this morning industriously painting our back drops and will start to construct the vegetation next week.
If you have any more recycled materials collected with your child for the diorama please bring them in a labelled plastic bag and we will store them under the computer desk until we need them. Suggestions include, streamers, balloons, bottle tops pegs, material scraps buttons etc. The students will let you know about any specifics that they need to collect for their creation.

Thank you History Buffs
A special thank you to Jason, Libby, Janine and Rowena for volunteering to be leaders presenting a game if the past to the class. I was hoping to organise this for next Wednesday 19 June. Let me know via email how this suits?
Game afternoon: The class will separate into 4 groups, with 4 leaders and 4 games. Leader gives 1-2 minutes of explanation and 8-9 minutes of game time. The groups will rotate so all activities are trialled. This should take 40 minutes. Examples of games: skipping using a long rope with 2 people turning it – there are many skipping songs the kids can learn. Marbles, jacks, hopscotch, follow the leader etc. Check out the website for cool ideas http://www.wired.com/geekdad/2009/08/simpleoutdoorplay
