Trip to Auckland City

At last! we had waited forever for this day!! It dawned dull & rainy! All togged up in our rain gear, we walked to Papatoetoe Station. Wow! it was the first train ride for some of us! We loved it! At Britomart station we had morning tea, then walked across to the ferry station. Another first time for some of us! The ride across to Devonport ended too soon! We waited for the rain to stop; then made our way to the park! This was a highlight for many of us! We played in the park with our friends and even got to have a little play on the shore.  We came back to school on the bus! What a day! Despite the rain all of us had a wonderful day and a unique experience!

Term 4 Value

This term we are learning about RESPONSIBILITY! We have to be responsible  for out belongings in school - for example, we need to take care of our sunhats. We can also be responsible at home - for example, we can make sure that we put our book bag in our schoolbag everyday and bring our readers back to school. Another way to be responsible at home is to tidy our rooms and lend a helping hand around our home.
ALWAYS BE A RESPONSIBLE KIWI!

Team assembly

It's been a busy term so far! We are still busy with our Fundamental Skills programme. Most of us are enjoying the games but also learning at the same time. All of us try our best! We had our team assembly with Room 4 and this was on Daffodil Day! We made daffodil crowns and wore mufti! For our assembly we sang  a song, "Drop, Cover, Hold" - because we had been learning about Natural Disasters. We also shared our awesome Reports about Tornadoes.  Our trip had to be postponed because of bad weather but we will be going to the city on Tuesday 24 September. We are still counting the sleeps till that day!

Maths

We are learning about measuring and learning about concepts like long, tall, short. We did an activity where we had to measure our buddy. We used a piece of wool and took each others measurement.

It's back to school after a much needed rest! All of us are ready to give our best this term!

We are fortunate to have Allan Brewster coaches this term and they are teaching us some fundamental skills like balancing & walking, walking on a line.  Look at us in action!

Learning about Tempo in music

On Friday Mrs Cork taught us about tempo. Tempo is the speed of music. Mrs Cork taught us an action song that had a fast and slow tempo.



More assembly pictures of Room 3 Stars!!

Here are more pictures of our assembly! You can see how confident students in Room 3 are - they were able to remember their parts without help! Look at their cool performance of the Matariki waiata (song)!
