THANKS FOR A GREAT YEAR OF LEARNING AND TEACHING 
ROOM 8  McSMIDDLE SCHOOL STUDENTS 2010.

It has been a pleasure working with you all and seeing you grow in your skills and the way you work with each other.

From our excellent adventures while hunting for Paua to the dissecting sheeps hearts.
Making games to climbing walls and McLongball to mini villages.
From the clever writing you have done and the special books that you have read to the extrodinary progress you have made with your maths

WOW, what a great bunch of children to be with at work !
I love the way most of you are prepared to take risks.

ALWAYS BELIEVE YOU CAN REACH THE TOP !!

Work Hard, Play Hard..................Sleep Well !....and Recycle

Mr McA

MERRY CHRISTMAS
