Hi Room 8!

We just realised that all along we forgot to share a picture of the fence we are looking at! So we took a photo of it and have updated the pics of you and your letter writing/reasearching.

Keep it up!

Just a few pics of room 8 working hard in their fence groups!


Yesterday 2 class members had a mission.

There mission was to make 2 phone calls to ask a few questions for plywood. These questions included:

1. What thicknesses do you have for plywood (minimum and maximum)?
2. What measurements do you have for plywood height and length (minimum and maximum)?
3. What is the price for a sheet without being cut?

This is what we got from Post & Rails:

1. 7mm Minimum 21mm Maximum
2. 2.4 long x 1.2 high
3. $198 to $33 on sizes

This is what we got from Timber & Hardware:

1. 7mm & 12mm
2. 2.4 long x 1.2 high
3. $45+gst & $55+gst

At Matamata Timber & Hardware had a special less than 1/2 price!

Hannah 's Poster

On Tuesday after school I made a poster about Tui's. It has information about what it eats, where it lives and where you can find them. I drawed a picture of a Tui and then I found one on the Internet.

Do Know Why Tui's Like Camelia and Kowhai Trees?

Post some more topics, shape names or ideas that you know or have been learning about in Geometry.
