Term 4, Week 7


It’s come so quickly, only a month till Christmas! We’ve been flat out in Room 3, racing through our sprints and athletics sports (it was great to see so many families along, supporting their children), learning a new tuatara choreography and constructing our costumes ready for the show. 

We’ve started on our new spelling lists, and have been brushing up our basic facts to and with 5 and 10, and have even been using what we know about place value to add groups of tens (ty numbers) up to 100! We’re working on speedy recall, but it’s fantastic to see so many children using their fingers to remember fact patterns. Testing with Miss Driver showed that we could all do with a little extra practice counting backwards in 2s (from 20), so we’ll also take another look at that. Do check out the awesome maths website in our links!

This week we continue to practice our tuatara choreography, finish off our costumes (including our claws!), and get ready to Roar at assembly on Friday (see reminder below).

Reminders:
- Room 3 will be sharing one of our favorite songs, Roar, with the rest of the school at assembly this week, and a couple of children will be introducing the song. Come along and join in!
- Just 2 more weeks for library books, be sure to bring yours back!
- We’d love further donations of egg cartons – we need a lot of spines! – and elastic (any thickness and colour is fine) for our tuatara costumes J
- The Home and School family picnic is on THIS Friday 29 November!
