Term 3, Week 4

What an awesome week in Room 3! We loved having Janice Oliver in to teach us more about throwing technique, and of course we were excited to see Rooster Booster. Tennis was amazing and we can’t wait for our next session – have you paid your money to the office yet? We loved our ASB money session – speed to your needs and wait for your wants!

This week in Room 3 we are going to combine all of our painting skills – mixing, shading and separating colours – to create some gorgeous blue sky and rainbow artworks for our classroom. We’ll even be showing our friends in junior assembly. We will also be painting bread with Miss Giraud on Friday – expect us to be very interested in toast when we come home.

For topic and writing this week, we’re investigating the food chain and how energy is transferred from the sun to plants and now to animals (and ultimately, back to the earth). We’ll look at the chemical processes involved in digestion and metabolism, and towards the end of the week we’ll take a “clean” look at excretion (poo!) and fertiliser.

Please remember now is a great time also to pay your swimming fees at the office – if for any reason you need to delay the payment, please speak to Mrs Smith. An arrangement can be made so that we know that you are still planning for your child to participate in the programme
