Room 3 2017

Here we are walking around on planets or driving about in space in our spaceships. The pictures are in pastel and dye and you can see the originals at our school office.

Room 3 were fantastic during the Cross Country!                                           Well done everyone for trying your best! You can be very proud of your efforts!       This week we were learning some football skills. First we played a game to warm up.                            We learnt how to hold the ball the right way ready for kicking.                                                   We then had lots of turns.                                            The relays were so much fun too! 

On Wednesday Room 3 went to the Planetarium. We loved going in the double decker bus! We listened carefully to Troy as we learnt more about Space. We went inside the dome and even found Orion amongst the stars!

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.

We are learning about 2D shapes and put together some pictures.  We are learning to count forwards and backwards to 20-playing Maths games reinforces the concepts we have been introduced to during our Maths sessions. Games also foster co-operation, turn taking and accepting outcomes.       During   our guided reading session we worked together to read and follow instructions. We wanted to try and replicate an illustration from the book and had to carefully read and follow each step-it was not as easy as it looked but we achieved great results! Well done !! Our monarch butterfly emerged during interviews with Finn and his parents. C ongratulations to our award winners-great job! Keep up the good work.
