Thanks to all for another wicked week – we’re starting
to feel the creep of end of term fatigue in Room 3, so well done to all
students for soldiering on with our learning and maintaining such high work
standards. Over the next three weeks (particularly with swimming coming on in
one week’s time!) please do make the call each night on whether homework or
sleep is going to be more important for your families :)
We had a lot of fun playing with oil, water, and
alkaseltser tablets this week in Room 3 – there is nothing like a glass full of
coloured bubbles to get us excited! As scientists, we are practising five key
skills; asking questions, making predictions, conducting investigations or
experiments, carefully observing the results, and sharing our ideas about our
observations and learning with others. We are really enjoying learning about
tikanga maori through myths and legends, and exploring the design details in
our draft landscape paintings. We can also talk about the days of week and the
weather in te reo maori, and this week we’ll be learning the colours to support
our art lessons! This week we also move on to telling the time when it is half
past, quarter past, and quarter to – and we are really enthusiastic about telling the time in Room 3, so please
help us to practise at home :)
Mrs Clare Corcoran will be teaching in Room 3 this
Thursday as Miss Driver will be on an Enviroschools bus trip to Blenheim to
check out some of the latest local action projects.
