Term 2 Week 3

Somehow, it is already Week 3! We have been very busy in Room 3, getting lots of work done. We are looking at Measurement in maths- how we measure and the units we use (mm, cm, m, km). The kids are getting much better at estimating lengths and measuring after to see how close their estimates were.
In Writing we are learning to write Informative Reports. We are researching information on animals to present as reports. The kids are loving learning interesting facts on their chosen animal.
For Topic, we are learning about how we keep ourselves healthy. We have started by looking at food, what is in it and the good old Food Pyramid.
We are also trying to get outside with the tennis balls, and hopefully with some soccer balls too before the end of the term.

We are fortunate to have Miss Krissy Ridder working with us for 7 weeks this term. Krissy is a trainee teacher and she is loving getting to know the wonderful children in Room 3 and throughout LMS.
Below are some photos - of Jacob in his Dad's old LMS sports top, some patterns from Term 1 maths, a healthy looking lunchbox (to do with topic), some puzzles and some food pyramids the kids were filling in themselves.
