Some of the things we have been doing in Term 4 so far

In Art we have been doing construction, we have made Rocking Birds out of paper plates, we painted them, and decorated them. Our birds all have different colours, we think they look cool. We have also made frogs which we are nearly finished.

We had our Athletics day, the activities we did were sprints, high jump, obstacle course, two legged race, sack race, egg and spoon race but instead of using an egg we used a golf ball, and shotput. At the end of the day the big kids did teacher and children relays and sad to say the teachers won. We think Mr Melrose help get the teachers in the lead. We still had heaps of fun and we were tired at the end of it.

On Monday's we have been doing cricket, learning how to hold the cricket ball right. To hold the ball right you have to put two fingers on top of the ball and your thumb underneath. We had to aim the ball and throw to a buddy and then we got to throw to the wickets.

In Maths we have been doing cool stuff, we have been learning our ones and tens and in Story Writing we got to do some cool publishing about Athletics day.

We are doing Hip Hop which is so much fun, we get to do it on Wednesday mornings and we are learning really cool moves. Miss Wise, Miss Watson and Mrs Cameron showed us the cool ways they could move in Hip Hop.

Man on the Moon

 Room 3 made 3D shapes out of wine gums and sticks. We made cubes and cylinders. The best part was the wine gums and the sticks. We enjoyed making the shapes and it was lots of fun.

 

In Term Two Room Three had their Assembly. Milla Overend's family kindly took a video of the assembly. Here are some extracts from the big day. We hope you enjoy watching. :)

 

On Monday morning Hampstead School went to the Kath Bee show in the School hall. We had to clap our hands along to the music. Poppie got a purple balloon which was made into a shape of a dog for shouting her name out first. Milla and Tristin got chosen to go out the front and say hello in different langiuages. Milla got to say "Bonjour" and Ttistin got to say "Bula." Maria got chosen to go out the front to help do the actions for the song 'I want to be a Camel.' It was awesome.

Jaime is holding a small bucket of stones, Cooper is holding a large bucket of lego, which one do you think holds more? For the correct answer check with a child from Room Three. We will reveal the answer in another two or three weeks!

In Maths we were learning to compare temperature (hot and cold), the value of coins and weight (light and heavy). Here are some photos of us when we were finding out what objects weighed heavier or lighter using Lego and other items from around the room. We also had fun trying to balance the scales so that both sides were even.
