 We are enjoying using our browsing boxes after morning tea and lunch.This is our quiet, quiet time where we reread material we have read in our guided reading sessions and some other books at a similar level. It's a great chance to try out some strategies we have been learning. We love reading in Room 3.




Last week we planted some swan plant seeds in individual pots.We hope when that when they are small plants we can replant them in our own butterfly garden. We were amazed to find the seeds hidden inside the pod in soft fluff like material.This protects the seeds.











 We will remember to water our seeds and make sure they receive enough light. Our Inquiry into Life Cycles has been so interesting.

Hi Room 3

The fluff around the swan plant seeds looks interesting.

Thanks for teaching me that butterflies use a special tube called a proboscis to suck up the nectar.

I had to look up the word proboscis on Wikipedia to find out more.

Did you know there is monkey called a Proboscis Monkey - they have a very long nose and look quite funny!

The Solar System     We are really enjoying our inquiry into the amazing Sun and the Solar System -We read the story of how Maui and his brothers caught the sun and created this fabulous mural of that story.We formulated questions based on this and found that it was a great way to retell a story with the information we needed right in front of us -larger than life!     W e also created some fabulous Day /Night pictures.   Maui and his brothers made ropes out of flax to snare the sun. Here are our own individual pictures -great work Room 3.
