This week we will begin learning some interesting facts about Chinese New Year and how this important festival is celebrated in New Zealand. We have hung our special lanterns  and can't wait to get started. We have discussed some of the facts we already know and what we would like to learn.We are also wondering if what we think we know will change as we explore this fantastic festival.


 We think Chinese New Year :
has something to do with Dragons
has lots of dancing 
has a lot to do with the colour Red
has lots and lots of lanterns 

 We think people 
eat lots of oranges 
have big parties
buy new clothes 
have fun.

 Let's see if we are right.
 Meanwhile we have completed some lovely Art work around the celebration of Diwali.



And talking about celebrations-what fantastic writing we have been doing in Room 3.Recently we had some fun innovating on the story of Mrs Wishy Washy.

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!
