SUPER FAMILY FUN DAY

Rooms 1, 2, 3 and 6 are having a Junior Sports Day, called The Super Family Fun Day. It is going to be held here at school, on Friday the 8th of November. It will start at 12.00 with a shared lunch. The Activities will start up after lunch/play at 1.30 and run through the afternoon. We would love to have lots of family members come and join in with us on this day.

Week 3

Week 3- Short week but with lots to do! I hope everyone had a terrific long weekend and has come back refreshed and ready to get stuck in.
The school pool officially opens this week and although we may not go swimming this week, I would still like the kids to start bringing their togs. Please make sure that all togs, bags, goggles and towels are clearly named, as well as uniforms (as they are easy to swap when getting dressed again afterwards).
We have started doing Discovery on Friday mornings with Rooms 1, 2 and 6 and this is proving to be a big hit. If anyone at home has small boxes, or anything that could be used in construction, please send these things in with your child.
We are full swing into preparations for the Super Family Fun Day (Friday, November 8th). The kids will be bringing home a notice very soon to let you know all about it.
In Maths we are still looking at takeaways, and how we can figure them out. The kids are getting really good at drawing squares, lines and dots to help them find the answers.

It is great to see that all the children have sunhats, but just be aware that your children have grown and their hats may start to get a bit tight! Also, because the children have grown through the year, now is a good time to make sure that they haven't outgrown their lunch. I have started to have a few comments about being hungry, even though they have eaten everything.

I will try to get some photos up here of some of the things we've been up to.

Term 4

Apologies for not keeping this more up to date, there were some technical issues that I had to work around...
Anyway, we are back up and running on here and back up and running in Room 3. There are a couple of differences this term; firstly, homework is going to be a single sheet for the term. Hopefully you will have seen this sheet after Monday, but in short, it is a list of activities that the kids can do at home. Some of the activities are things to be done in their books or on paper and some of the activities are jobs to do around home. The sheet fully explains how to carry out the homework tasks, but if you have any questions please ask.
The second change is to do with the opening of an 'over-flow' class, but I will tell you more about that another time.
As far as in class learning goes, we will be looking at similes and how to use them in our writing, character and setting descriptions and the structure of a narrative. In maths we will start off by learning the best ways to do takeaways and in topic we will be learning how to plan an event and hopefully we will get to look at designing our 'dream' classroom. Room 3 is also planning on joining in with Rooms 1 and 2 for discovery time on Friday.
So, when you add in the other parts of the day, it is once again looking like being a busy, fun term!

Week 5

Well, past half way in the term and things are as busy as ever. We did some wonderful beachfront art as part of the MASSIVE production, and this is going to be on display in the windows of Wilsons Abel Tasman from next week. If it doesn't all fit there, then it will either go into another shop window or be on display in our window here in Room 3. We have started some tennis lessons as well and these are happening every Tuesday at 10.00. The kids are enjoying getting out and having a hit around. Hopefully there will be some photos to follow...

Week 2's Colour Sports.

Colour Sports day was brilliant- the kids had a great day, and really enjoyed taking part in the fun activities in the afternoon. Sadly, it was another missed opportunity for the White team, but congratulations must go to the Blue team on their victory. Here are a few photos of the kids...

Term 3 Up and Running

Well, we are officially past the half-way mark in the year and things are ticking along quite nicely. We are settled back in at school and there is a lot to get through in this slightly shorter 9 week term. First of all, we say farewell to Jayden and Marshall, who have moved to another school- we wish them all the best. To offset that loss though, we have gained two Year 2 boys from Room 2; Cameron and Fergus. So welcome, boys. I am sure you will slot into Room 3 very quickly and easily. As far as learning goes, we have started a Healthy Eating topic, we have begun to look at everyones favourite maths area- fractions and we will be learning about and writing 'persuasive arguements'. The photo competition has started, and any entries can start to come in anytime in the next couple of weeks. If you want to know more about it, I suggest you try Room 4's blog- I am sure there will be more info there.
