We are over half way! Our walk on Friday was lots of fun. We had 118 students, 15 adults and 3 dogs, and we all walked 8 km. That's a total of 1112 km (remember to count the dogs steps twice), plus some donated steps. This gets us to Paraparaumu in the North Island. A fine effort everyone.
Grateful thanks to Mel Kreft (and Max) Bradley Walsh (and Star) and Bridget Gentle for their help.
Mr Cosgrove from the Clutha Leader came and took some photos, so watch out for next weeks' edition of the Leader.
8 km is a long way. This is what we looked like by the time we staggered back into school.
This week we continued looking at distances and measurement. We made trundle wheels out of cardboard, which involved learning that D x pi = circumference. But we already knew the circumference we needed (100 cm), so we had to invert the operation. Well done Room 8 - clever work.
Have a great holiday everyone! See you back on 14th October.
