Week 1 Term 3

Term 3 has started with a flurry of activity in Room 10. Pop in and share our art and writing about Autumn. You can also see you child's own work up close on the Kidz Stuff  Blog linked through the side bar of this blog.

We celebrated 2 birthdays this week, when 2 friends turning 6.

In No Child Left Inside we have started a unit on team work. It took  a lot of collaboration and thinking to solve problems using this colourful parachute.

We really wanted to show our regular handwriting practice to you.

A big thank you to Oscar's mum  for reading to us, we particularly liked the Super Worm story!

Of course the main theme of the week was around 100 Days of School which fell on Monday but the celebrations lasted all week!

One of our activities involved using an app that aged us so that we could see what we would look like at 100. Check out the pictures and writing on the Kidz Stuff Blog

When I am 100 I will have a croaky voice and that voice will be quieter. I will have glasses. I will have lines on my brain.

The last week of term was full of fun and learning. As part of our Enviro School work we helped plant trees and shrubs along the river bank to keep our river clean, cool and flowing.

Welcome to our learning from Week 9. As you can see from this lovely play dough creation our Tricky Words this week was 'she'.

 With Kathryn in No Child Left Inside we worked on our netball passes.

 We started our mini topic on measurement in maths. We used cubes to estimate and then measure the length of objects from around the classroom.....

 .....and sequenced a whole  Humpty Dumpty family from largest to smallest.

On Thursday we had the chance to go to the museum and look at the Vital Statistics Exhibition which we missed the previous week due to rain. Thanks to all our helpers and to Renwick 1 who came along with us.
