Term 1, Week 8 in Room 3


Thanks heaps to those families who attended our assembly last week. A big well done to all Room 3 students for standing up to share their work, and an extra congratulations to those who tackled their fears about public speaking and shared their ideas about our learning with the school!

Two big reminders for this week - please come to the Home and School disco this Thursday night (29 March) and don’t forget the Hawaiian theme (or your Hawaiian dance moves)! Secondly, remember to look your best for our school photos are on Friday morning (30 March). Also, learning folders and (for students with Term 1 or Term 3 birthdays) national standards reports will be going home this Friday.
We are working on kicking and dribbling a soccer ball in large ball skills this week (with an extra basketball visit on Tuesday!), and we will keep working on on our drawing skills with Mrs Jessop on Wednesday. We had a great time learning Chinese today with Mrs Pauline Chan (we are practising a song about two tigers - we may be able to remember some of the actions at home, but we are still revising the words ...). For our topic ‘change’ focus this week are looking at people and how they change as they grow and age (at the superficial level only!). We have two more short time lapse video clips to watch and some more processes to think about. Today we thought about how people grow and we have lots of ideas - on your birthday, when you eat your crusts, in your sleep, when you bounce really high on a trampoline ... We’re also hoping to create a “now” and “then” changes comparison chart on Thursday afternoon and it would be awesome if each student could please bring along a baby (or toddler) photo of themselvs to show and share (it will be returned home the same day although we will take colour copies to use in class).
