2013 Here we are!!

It has taken us a few weeks to settle back into the Room Three routine.  This year we are made up of 20 Year Three and Four  children- 14 boys and six girls.  We still have Charlie our budgie and Zebedee (zebra), our class mascot and his friend Geronimo (giraffe).  Charlie goes home every weekend with one of us and gets very spoilt when he is away from school.  Actually this week he is meeting two girl birds - Shirley and Cee-Cee, Eliabel's budgies so maybe they will become good friends.

We have had a busy time this term already and have introduced some new things into our week. 

Every Monday we are learning Te Reo and Tikanga with Whaea Myra.  We are getting very clever and some of us are turning into the stars of the class when answering questions in Maori.  

Each Tuesday afternoon we are learning soccer skills with Football South - so much fun and we are learning so much.  Then we turn into scientists for an hour.  When we are with Mrs Russell we are learning about the Three States of Matter - solid, liquid and gas with fun and exciting demonstrations that we turn into experiments by just asking a question like "What if put in less of that?" With Mrs Atkinson we are learning the Science in Cooking.  We have made pikelets, bread, jelly and hokey pokey - yummeeee!

The Room Two Year threes' come into our class for 40 minutes for Religious Education every Wednesday and Thursday.  It is great fun when we are all together.  We have been doing drama - role plays and freeze frames to show how we grow in holiness.  We showed some of them at the last assembly.

Our art is finally up in the classroom.  Our self portraits look so good and so does our weather art.

Check in a few days for a photo display of what we have been doing this term.
