O v e r t h e p ast few weeks Room 3 have been working with our friends in Room 1 to learn some dance routines for our item as part of our full school Production. This week we finally were 'Stars' on stage in 'The Short and Incredibly Happy Life of Riley." We all had rat costumes and our faces painted and then we went on stage and danced to "Walking on Sunshine." Enjoy the photos!

Clean up New Zealand Week!

On Wednesday Room 3 and their big buddies from Room 15 went to our local beach to pick up rubbish as part of Clean up New Zealand Week. When we got to the beach we all put on gloves and then with our buddies we headed up the beach and into the dunes. Any item that we found we took back to Ben who kept a total of all the different types of rubbish that was picked up. On our return to school our buddies are going to make a graph of what we discovered.

Room 3 - World wide Travels!

Amy and Mia went on a wonderful trip to Germany and while they were there they sent us photos of themselves having fun in the sun and water and also on a huge merry-go-round. They have now returned and have shown us a slideshow of what else they did. They also gave us some yummy sweets and cookies. Cella is touring around South America at the moment and this week she sent us some photos including her patting monkeys. Joshua is leaving this week and going to France and during the holidays Ollie will be moving here from England to join us.

Royal New Zealand Ballet

Recently some dancers from the Royal New Zealand Ballet visited our school. We watched them warm up at the barre and then perform some dances. The ballerina answered our questions, showed us some ballet shoes and then taught us some dance steps. We are looking forward to going into Wellington later in the year to watch them perform on stage.
