Room 3 Update

It's the end of Term 2. The year is flying by...Room 3 has done some excellent work this term. Here is some of our artwork. We drew a sunset, mountains and the ocean. Then we coloured them in with pastels and added patterns.

Term 2 Update

It's a busy term...we have been creating artwork from recycled materials. We made bags out of old T-Shirts and we created collages out of used materials, such as newspaper, food wrapping and used paper. We made shapes as this is our maths topic at the moment.

We had our first netball session with Nicole today. We learnt lots of netball skills...

Eco Educate Trip

Last week we went to the Ashburton Recycling Centre. We learnt all about reducing, reusing and recycling. Lesley told us what materials we can reuse and recycle and what needs to go to the landfill. We learnt all about what happens to the recycling and the rubbish that ends up at the centre.

This week we had Room 6 visiting. Together we learnt about Autumn. Room 3 and Room 6 buddied up and went outside to look for interesting leaves. Together we painted the leaves practicing our painting skills. We did a great job of mixing colours together. On Friday we will turn our painted leaves into animals and other creatures.

 

Welcome to Term 2

Welcome back to Term 2. We have been getting straight back into our learning. We started learning our new story "The Marriage of Ganesh". So far we have listened to the story and we have talked about the meaning of it. We have also created our story map...

Talking about whether Ganesh was cheating...

Sharing our ideas about the story

Creating the story map

We have also been stepping out the story. This helps us to remember the key parts of the story.
