Term 2, Week 3

What busy weeks we are having in Room 3 this term! Last week we got to grips with odd and even numbers (some of us could still do with some practice, so do ask us about this :)!) and skip counting using 2s to and from 20. We learnt some great running skills and fun new games with Mr Harvey, and we danced, wrote and got all dressed up as we explored some different cultures. We hope you liked our Bolivian folk dance! We made butterfly and reflection prints, and we read about a very mean old witch.

This week will be just as action packed with kapa haka, jump jam, hockey skills and the Spirit of Polynesia performance on Friday. We’ll be exploring some film clips related to our cultural studies as well as some fun animations to inspire our writing. We are all focussing on ps and qs (and 9s!) in our handwriting (please help us to practise getting these the right way around :)), and we’ll continue our fitness training with Mr Harvey.

One administrative note – there are a couple of children needing new books. Please keep an eye out for the strips of paper (A4 width, but very short!) requesting stationery that may appear from time to time – your children may forget to draw your attention to these, but they should appear in book bags when a book is needed. Many thanks :)
