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)!

Weaving

This week we learned how to weave. It was quite challenging! Luckily some of our buddies helped us to weave when we got stuck! During Matariki, weaving was an important activity that Maori people engaged in. They used flax to weave. We wove a mini table mat using paper. Check out our colourful mats!

Room 3 hosts whole school assembly!!!

On Monday 17 June, Room 3 hosted our school assembly. We had great announcers who said their parts beautifully! There was a slide show on what we had learned about Matariki (Maori New Year). Then we sang a Matariki waiata. Everybody sang and did the actions so well and Mr. Duncan played the guitar. Everybody enjoyed our assembly! So did we!!! Mrs Pather is very proud of her awesome class!! Thanks to all our parents that attended the assembly to support us!

Team assembly

Room 3 hosted our Year 1 team assembly with room 1. We got to make announcements and shared some work. Some of us also received certificates to recognise the awesome work we do and our awesome attitudes too! This was also an opportunity to practise for our whole school assembly.

Samoan Language Week

Talofa Lava
It was Samoan language week and Room 3 had a go at learning some new words like days of the week, numbers and greetings. We also had Mr & Mrs Filipo (Azurra's parents) to share some Samoan artifacts and stories about Samoa. We enjoyed their visit and learned some awesome facts about Samoa! Mr & Mrs Filipo also treated us with delicious Whittakers chocolates!!! Fa'afetai tele!
