Grandparents and 'Grandfriends' Day!

By -
Monday was certainly a memorable day for the children and also for their visitors. Grandparents and Grandfriends from all around New Zealand and overseas came to school for this special occasion. We welcomed the visitors and then the children entertained the visitors with songs, art, stories and a slideshow of what they do at school and then were hosts in their classrooms proudly sharing their work with the adults. The visitors brought special items to share with the children and then we all had a lovely afternoon tea together. We all enjoyed finding out about how life has changed since the grandparents were at school. Thank you very much to everyone who came. We welcomed Marcus to school and discovered that he is the fourth generation of his family to attend our school.

Last term Room 3 had Performing Arts lessons each week. They learnt lots of different dances. On Friday, they shared one of the dances that they had learnt at the Full School Assembly. The audience sang as they did the dance. We hope you enjoy it!

  Diwali. We have been working hard during our Inquiry time learning about festivals and celebrations.The Indian festival of Diwali is centred around Light so we have been busy using our collage skills to create beautiful candles. Collage requires Patience and Perseverance. Well worth all the hard work though!! .     We also painted our own beautiful D iva's-  small candles which are placed around peoples homes during Diwali.   Lights welcome the New Year and create a happy festive atmosphere. Come into Room 3 and see what you think!

We are enjoying working with Mrs Hooke doing Performing Arts on a Thursday morning-moving to music and learning to make interesting shapes with our bodies. We also enjoyed having some time on Friday to construct models using old boxes,egg cartons etc.When describing our models we tried to think of interesting words. We spoke clearly and listened to each other.Some of the models were constructed in teams and we all co-operated together.    It's so enjoyable to work together. Well done Room 3!
