The Climbing Wall

Climbing Wall

On the 26th of May Room 8 went on the Climbing Wall. 

For most of Room 8 it was new to them, so we had to learn all the new skills in order to be safe when using the wall.

Mr Johnstone taught us how to use the harnesses, how to belay and how to spot if there is danger.
Everyone in the class got to have a turn at climbing but we all had to do belaying aswell.

When Mr Johnstone was teaching us all about how to be safe around the climbing wall, he told us that the belayer was the most important person! 

Room 8 really enjoyed it and we hope to do it again!!







Dear Kitten!

Mrs Binnie shared a video with room 8 (Dear Kitten). Dear Kitten is about an older cat welcoming a kitten into his house and giving him advice. Watch the video below. It is cute!

Then Mrs Binnie gave us a task.We had to create our own versions of Dear Kitten/Puppy


Here are some  examples of Room 8's Dear Kitten/Puppy:

Dear Puppy: DO NOT go near the girl they call Jasmine, she bites. By Kane

Dear Kitten: You will see all the new and exciting things outside and you will think yay! I'm going to have fun all day, but trust me it is the scariest thing ever!But I think you will love it. By Aimee

Dear Puppy: You will get fed at 7:30 in the morning and 5:30 at night. If you are really hungry just eat the cat biscuits but don't let them catch you. By Traye

Dear Kitten: If one day you are feeling extra hungry and you want more food, look cute and pretend you haven't had any food once they gave you free breakfasts. By Elena

Dear Kitten: Never go up to the neighbours house because they will flip you! By Ruby

Dear Kitten: The biggest room in the house with all the big spongy pillows is the cuddliest room. Be there by 6pm and you will have the best seat in the house. By Jordan
