Term 4, Week 4


Wow what a creative time we had in Room 3 last week, baking gingerbread men, weaving webs and paper, and making our sock puppets! We are enjoying our hands on learning about capacity (especially our sandpit play!) and getting in a little more athletics training.

Looking to the week ahead, we are going to continue our focus on capacity through the tale of Goldilocks and the Three Bears – we’re especially interested in those differently sized bowls of porridge oats and their sizes and shapes! We’ve got some creative writing to do about our favourite characters from the story, as well as some reading exercises. We’ll be doing daily practise (weather permitting!) to improve our high and long jumping techniques, and will look forward to another session of weaving with Mrs Jessop on Wednesday. We’re also going to begin to plan our Plastic Fantastic item (music, dance, drama, costumes) for our end of year show, What a Load of Rubbish, and will start our non-recyclable plastic collection on Monday. Matua Tom will be in to take us for kapa haka on Monday, and we look forward to learning about NZ Sign Language with Cathy on Thursday.

Just a reminder to a number of children – please bring your book bag, books, homework book and reading exercise book (if you have one) to school every day. It is not possible to update or to mark work if the books aren’t here, which means children are missing out on learning opportunities (very sad :().

Here’s to another awesome week in Room 3! :)
