What an interesting week it has been once again in
Room 3... We started off with our fabulous composting session with Sarah Langhi
and learned all about the way in which carbon and nitrogen rich (“browns” and
“greens”) waste is broken down by worms and microorganisms to create delicious
food to help plants thrive. We had a wonderful time as pirates, sorting out our
ideas about measurement in metres for maths week, and we enjoyed meeting Mrs
Malcom on Wednesday and learning some rhymes and songs :) We
developed our skills using poi, and are getting very good at the actions for
rere atu. We learned some new words in te reo maori for the special places
around us – our awa, maunga, puke, kokori and moana – and will continue to add
to our vocabulary each week as we explore new myths and legends. We also
learned two VERY long words – whakaitingia (reduce!) and hangaruatia
(recycle!).
This week we look forward to our museum visit to see
the Powelliphanta exhibition on Monday afternoon – we are very interested in
sustainability, and can’t wait to learn all about these giant snails and what
steps we need to take to protect their populations. We’ll continue with our
programme in te ao kori, and this week we’ll begin to play with rakau as well
as poi. Bible in Schools will take place as usual on Tuesday, with Library day
on Wednesday and the COW on Thursday.
