This week in Room 3 we are practising our large ball passing skills and continuing to practise our typing, our te reo greetings and phrases, and our sketching skills, not to mention our reading, writing and maths! We have also begun our inquiry topic, and are enjoying learning about the way changes in living things help them to respond to changes in their environment. Last week we looked at some clips of a variety of different kinds of change and brainstormed some of the topics we’d like to look at more closely. We were very interested in the life cycles of butterflies, as well as what is happening in the polar regions with the winter freezes and summer melts. So this week we’re going to focus in on the Woolly Bear Caterpillar (thanks, Mr Attenborough!) and its complicated life cycle as it copes with 14 years of seasonal change in the Arctic. We’ll start with a film clip, come up with some discussion questions, and aim to complete our first animal reports by the end of the week. Check out our time line and our kid pix posters!
We are also working really hard to learn our numbers to 10 in te reo maori - please help us to practise at home!
