Our Education Outside the Classroom Week!

By -
Room 3 have had a wonderful time exploring a range of experiences in our Education outside the classroom week. 
We began the week with a visit to Te Papa on Monday. First we explored the xray section containing whales, sharks and seals and the enormous squid. 




We loved watching the 3D movie wearing the cool glasses! 
Next we went to Nature space.





Mrs Mills then taught us about Te Marae.



After lunch we went to Pasifica.



We then went back to school on the bus.

On Tuesday we learnt some new cricket skills from Lee and then we met some animals from Zippity Zoo. Farmer B told us all about the animals and then we patted them, fed them and even brushed them. 





















On Wednesday we had our Junior School Athletics and we showed how clever we were with the high jump, long jump, shot put, sprints, quoits, vortex and obstacle course.










On Thursday we had an author visit. Moira told us the story of the Taniwhai in Wellington Harbour and also taught us a waiata about a taniwha. 

After school we had our 'Celebration of Learning' and we proudly showed our families what we have been learning and what our current learning steps are.









On Friday we explored our local beach, pool and park. 















What a fun week we had. We want to do it all over again!

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!
