 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!

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!
