Week 5 with the R3LT

In room 3 we have had two monarch butterflies Greedy and Tigger. We got to hold Tigger
but we didn't get to hold greedy because he hatched over night during the weekend.
It`s walk n`wheels week and we're going to have do obstacle courses to do with walk`n wheels. On Wednesday for walk 'n' wheels day we dressed up in blue and gold.
Today was also the room3 assembly and most of the things we shared were about our monarch caterpillars.
On Tuesday next week we are going to a marae so all of us got to write our mihi. We have been practicing them.
Thank you for reading the room3 blog!

Week 6 with the R3LT

Gala Saturday was on the 15 November 2008 and we rode Pony around the field. There was a dunking machine at the Gala Day and we got all wet. There was toys, books and puzzles for sale. There was Flick the Fire Engine giving rides and a bouncy castle. You could also get your face painted. Some people also ate yummy toffee apples.
Hope is away in Samoa on Holiday for two weeks.
In PE we were learning to hit tennis balls with tennis rackets.
Janinta, our new fish, is happily swimming around our tank.
This week for topic we asked a question about space that we wanted to find out, then researched and presented our findings. It was hard learning how to do research but we did a good job.

Maori Language Week

The first week of Term 3 was also Maori Language Week. In Room 3 we made a chart of what we wanted to learn to say in maori. We listened to the Maori legend, Maui and the Sun, then we retold the story as a class. The whole school went into three groups of kids who did some maori activities. We did stick games with Miss Barnett, printmaking koru patters with Miss S and singing with Mrs Jewiss and Ms Taylor.

This week we also made a marca in the art room as part of our Sound Inquiry we are finishing from last term.

We had a great Maori Language Week!
