Burns-Bulletin Week Four Term Four

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.
