It is all about me!

 This term Room 3 have been learning to take the scissors for a walk, which has been tricky at times, but so good for our fine motor skills.  We copied around a circle and cut out many different sizes.  We learnt about overlapping a shape.

After we had completed out backgrounds, the children drew a picture of what they thought they looked like.  Here is an example of the before sketch and the sketch of ourselves after instruction.

We outlined our artwork with black vivid and it is now displayed on our back wall.  We are all very proud of the resilience we showed while working on our portrait.

Library Fun time

Today we were lucky enough to have Zayna and Jackie, librarians from the Pakuranga Library visit our room.

They shared some brand new books with interactive texts. The Librarians taught us fun rhymes and action songs. We discovered that some of the children in our class, have their very own library cards and use the library with whanau already. 

Jackie and Zayna invited us to come down to the library on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. There is a special programme at 4 o'clock suitable for ages 5+. 

Check out the notice below with more details. The good news is that it's free for all of us!

Room 3 Garden Make Over

Room 3 have been learning about Responsibility and how we can care for our environment. 

We noticed our planter box was looking very old and messy after the long holidays. It needed some colourful planting. 

During Math time we had a discussion and made a graph of our favourite colours. We discovered purple, red and yellow were the most popular colours in Room 3. The next day we were very busy weeding, digging holes and planting our new flowers.

                                          Have a look at our planter box now!

Let's see how they grow!
