Room 3 2017

On Friday we had a fantastic day! We took part in a whole range of fun skipping activities in our 'Jump Off.' We have been busy learning and practicing all sorts of skipping over the past term and are very proud of ourselves!  We skipped over a wiggly rope 'snake.'   We jumped as the big rope went over our heads. We skipped with a partner. We skipped forwards and backwards with our own rope. We did relays and even skipped with a hoop. We are sending money that we raised to the "New Zealand Heart Foundation.' They will use it for research and for schools to have ropes so that other children around New Zealand can have healthy hearts like us. Well done Room 3! Great effort everyone :)

Constable Julie came to our class every day and talked to us about different ways we can keep ourselves and others safe. She read us a story about a child who was lost. We know what to do if we got lost. We learnt our full name, address and phone number. We loved Officer Ted! Room 3 listened very carefully to what Constable Julie said. We discussed ' touch we like,' 'touch we don't like' and 'touch that makes us feel uncomfortable' and what we could do about it. We want to have bright, sparkling colours not dark colours in our tummies.   Room 3 have learnt a new song called 'I am awesome' and they cannot wait to sing it and show the actions to the rest of the school at the big assembly. We watched a dvd about Constable Bryan and Bobby and learnt what to say and do if someone does something we don't like. 

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!
