Silent Reading



Mufti Day



Cricket with Mark



Magnets we made in Term Three, these were made out of salt dough, baked in the oven at a low temperature, left to cool, we then painted them, sprayed them with varnish and then put the magnet on the back. A lot of us now have them displayed on our fridge at home.

 



Oops Room Three are back, it has been a little while since we have been telling you all what we have been up to. This term has been rather exciting as we started off with our School Sports which was a lot of fun. We did lots of exciting things like high jump, long jump, sprints, sack race, shotput, hurdles, discus, vortex, potato and spoon race. Some of us got to have a picnic lunch with our parents and friends on the day. At the end of the day we felt, hot, tired and happy that we all got to participate.

The whole school went to the Domain to look at the sculptures which we thought were very cool, we got to do a scavenger hunt which was a good way of getting to know our way around the domain. We loved the Aviary and some of us got to see the Peacock puts its feathers and show its colours. In the Aviary we saw goldfish and mice. Some of us saw a peacock egg and a chicken egg. After we had lunch we got to play in the playground. The domain is now 150 years old. We all think the domain is very pretty.

Other things we have been doing is cricket with Mark, lots of Reading, Writing and Maths, Maori language, Music and Art. We have been practising making different shapes out of play dough and soon we will make things from clay.

Trying to Juggle!!

Telling us about Japanese Food

Helping us with our Fruit Bowl Collage

Showing us how to write in Japanese

We were lucky to have students from Japan come to our School for a visit. They went around all the classrooms, six came into ours and we had a lot of fun with them. They wrote their names in their own language on the board and talked to us about the food they eat in Japan. They helped us with some collage and we all thought the best part was when they showed us how to juggle with little bean bags and then let us all have a go.

Our first week back in term Three and we were lucky to have Sharon from Wastebusters. The above pictures are some of our class modelling clothes made from recycled materials. eg Shopping bags.



 



We were lucky to have St John come along and talk to us about what to do in an emergency. They told us how it was very important to know our street address, the town we live in and our phone numbers. She put the siren on for us, it was very loud and very cool.

The children of Hampstead School enjoyed The Magic Show El Gregoe on Friday. The show taught the children to be Trustworthy and respect one another. Everyone enjoyed the show. He did cool things like making birds disappear, a parrot coming alive from a still picture and making a picture come alive that El Gregoe drew on a white board/ Kelcey of Room 5 helped make a bird appear by waving big wand. The whole show was magic.

This is the life of Room Three - just some of the activities they have been busy at in the last week.  These pictures show the children working together, helping one another, interacting together in a positive manner that makes us proud.

This is us sewing our 'suns' onto card. We have bright colours to choose from. With our stitching we have to go up and down all the way and have to try not to get our wool tangled. This is lots of fun. Next we will get to sew onto hessian.
In these groups sewing are Lucy, Avalii, Joel, Cole, Jaslene, Ruby, April and Jack.
