Term 3, Week 9

Thank you so much to the awesome Room 3 Team for the super swimming and super behaviour at the ASB Aquatic Centre last week – and a huge thanks also to all of the families who came along to support us. We really appreciate your interest and your assistance with that quick change afterwards, and would love to see you all again this week!

As we enter the final week of Term 3 we’ll also be wrapping up our painting unit with a final look at landscapes on Friday when we choose our own maunga (mountain) to illustrate using crayon and dye. We’ll get a bit of throwing practice in ready for athletics in Term 4, solve some story-based maths problems, read a little, write a little, and wind down ready for a jolly good rest! We’ll also be learning some new phrases in te reo maori to help us to talk about who our friends are. This will be particularly helpful this week as we welcome four visitors from Room 2. These young ladies will be joining Room 3 officially at the beginning of Term 4 as a fresh surge of new entrant children moves up to Room 2 from Room 1, and we are really excited about sharing our classroom, our learning and our friendships with them. 

Finally, a very big thanks to all for the phenomenal effort on the homework and classroom learning this term – our students are so lucky to have such wonderfullly supportive families nurturing their young minds along the way :) Wishing you all a very well deserved holiday!
