Hi welcome back to room 8's world. Today I will be posting about the Roots Of Empathy.
Every Thursday a baby named Louisa Clay and her mum Kate Clay comes in to the class to talk about Roots of Empathy(ROE).When she came into the classroom she was 64 centre meters.

Here is a phot of her.

Room 8 went on a trip to the zoo. We went last thursday, on the 21st of feb. Mr Reddrop put us into 4 groups. We had to go on a bus to get to the zoo and all of us were excited to go on a trip. when we got we had to sit outside and have a meeting. It didn't feel like a meeting because everyone were shouting and yelling. This man told us to take our hats of and put it in our bag so we can put it in this big fat boxes .After that he told us to walk into the classroom very quietly. When we walked in there were these animal bean bags, and there were heaps of  skined animals. The man said to have a little explore around the classroom. So we did, there were heaps of real fur in the claassroom. His little freind came in he told her to get her little freind the green lizard, he ask everyone to touch we were so happy but when it came to my turn I didn't  want to touch it because I to afraid that it will bite me.Then we went outside and we saw this big lion scale, it is to weigh the lion to see if it is heavy or light.

Our first 2 weeks

Rm 8 had to try and build a bridge. Our aim was to make a dictionary balance on the top of our bridges.We also had to try and make the dictionary fit under the bridge. Before we started Mr reddrop told us that we could ask for some stuff from his shop. But there was a twist. The twist was that we had to barge for what we wanted. Then we started. Alot of the groups had great ideas.Josh had a really smart idea. What his group did was put some sticks in to the piece of paper. Which made it stronger.When the time was up every had back away from their bridges. At the end only jade and joshes grouphad pass the test. Here are the two groups bridges below.

Welcome back room 8. This year we are the only year 6 class in the school. I expect great things!
