We have been reading a new chapter book, Matilda. It's a classic tale which has been enjoyed by children for many many years. It's about a little girl who has some special talents, crazy parents, a horrid head mistress and a lovely teacher. Matilda LOVES to read!!!

Welcome Term Two!!!
A new busy term has begun...we have started the second part of our inquiry unit "Neighbours- ours in the South Pacific". We are learning about the process of finding out and questioning. It does get tricky thinking up questions that are good inquiry questions. We have learned that both fat and skinny questions are important when we are learning new things but to make a great inquiry a fatter question is better. Today we wrote our first questions and then as a class categorised them as fat and skinny. We are becoming better at this.
MISS KENNY
Miss Melissa Kenny is our third year teacher and we love having her in Room Three. She is beginning a three week placement in our Room soon ...very awesome. We learn so many new things when we have two teachers!
WINTER SPORTS
In the winter we play team sports. Some of our class are in more than one sport team. The sports we play include Netball, Miniball, Soccer, Rugby and Hockey. We play Miniball and netball in school teams.
In Term one Years three to six had a science afternoon each Tuesday. We learned a lot about experimenting and chemical reactions and about science in cooking. In Term Two we are mixing it up again and are doing two units around the arts of drama and dance. Mrs A is taking us for dance and Mrs Russell is taking us for drama. We are so looking forward to it.
