Life lately in Room 3!

We have been pretty busy these last few weeks and are now in the full swing of things!

We have been learning about writing descriptions and recounts in writing. We made popcorn and LOVED describing it!

Here are some photos of our great work...

We have been practicing counting forwards and backwards to 10 and 20, as well as finding the before and after numbers in those ranges. Some of us are even learning about groups within 5 and groups with 5. We are SO clever!

 If you want to help at home you could practice some of those things. You could also practice our counting down from 20 song.

Please continue to help us with our reading each night. We need to read our 2 books three times each. We love learning new letters, sounds and words and need to practice these in order to get even better!

Thank you for your help and support,

Room 3 and Miss Barratt.

Class Update

Hi everyone,

We have been very busy these past few weeks settling into school life. We have been working hard learning class routines and getting to know one another.

Here are some photos showing what we have been getting up to...

                                        We made posters showing some of our favourite things.

We put our names in tens frames, counted how many letters were in our names and drew a picture of something starting with that letter.

                         

We had to colour our numbers and order them from 1-10 or 1-20.

We identified different shapes and used them to help us make pictures of rockets, houses and tractors.

We learnt some new games and started working on our small balls skills with Mr Robinson.

Thanks for stopping by,

Diwali fun

In room 3 we have been having a great time lately learning about different festivals and celebrations. One festival we learnt about was Diwali. We had a Diwali dress up day at school where we got to wear traditional clothing. We also drew diyas using pastel and dye, made clay diyas and created beautiful rangoli patterns. Here are some photos showing what we got up to....
