Room 8 Burns Bulletin Term 4 Week 4
Week Three in Room 8 saw Room 8 have another exciting week in the way of classroom challenges. The drum challenge was very entertaining and the shield again came down to the wire with Nuclear Fusion winning both the shield and the drum.
Our Room 8 debates will take place over this week with huge interest from the students as to how they will go and how their peers will be able to argue the cases that they have been researching. Mr. Burns in particular is looking forward to see how well Room 8 can talk when it is in relation to a specific topic.
Standards Day is this week on Wednesday blocks 2 and 3. Mohaka has a lot of potential in the area of athletics. I hope that everyone shows up on the day and throws, runs or jumps their way to a personal best or a 4 score for themselves and Mohaka.
The Palmerston North Cultural Exchange was a huge success over the course of Thursday and Friday with some very good performances from members of Room 8. Great to see Taradale Intermediate welcome over visitors from Palmerston North.
The awards in Room 8 for week 3 are as follows:
Drum: Nuclear Fusion
Shield: Nuclear Fusion
Belt: Tomas (Kumquats )
Wings: Jenna (The Racist Rashes)
People’s Choice Award: Jake (Kumquats).
Week four will see the start of the Social Dancing programme for our year 8 students. I know that there are a few nervous students out there about this but as long as you give it a go then you can say at the end of it all that you at least tried. I think you will be surprised at how you find it and how much fun you actually have while learning about social dancing.

Nuclear Fusion took out the shield which is now getting very close to see who will win the overall year champion for this.
Inquiry and debating in Room 8 for Term Four has started and their has been a lot of interest in both. Debating is something that is new to those of you who have not done it before and I hope that you are able to pick up some skills that you can use in the future.

Burns-Martin Trophy
Room 8 with the Burns-Martin Trophy once again!
On Thursday afternoon the epic set of contests that are and is the Burns-Martin Trophy continued. Room 4 challenged Room 8 to a game of non-stop cricket this time around. It started off quite close with Room 4 setting a competitive 46 in their classes at bat.
After an indifferent start from Room 8 they cleaned up once again by getting 77 runs in their first innings. There was only enough time for one innings and this time around for the record setting 6th time in a row Room 8 won and put the overall record at 7-3 in favour of Room 8.
Yeah Room 8 Good Job!
