 We enjoyed being part of Wacky Hair day on Friday-the money raised going to World Vision for distribution in Malawi. This was a school wide event. 


  

 


 Our big idea for Inquiry this term.
Energy exists in many forms -it can be observed, changed and put to a variety of uses in our everyday lives.We have been looking at Magnets.We have discovered a magnet has two ends called the North Pole and the South Pole. Like poles Repel unlike poles Attract.Magnets are useful in everyday life.




 

We went fishing at our table groups.The fish with metal paper clips attached were caught by the magnets on the end of the rods.
\












We also experimented with Magnetic Sand.Holding our magnets under the paper plates we were able to move the sand and make interesting shapes.The magnetic force was strong. Next week we will explore how Sound  travels.

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!
