Cricket

Today we had Andrew and Catfrom Metro Cricket come and build our cricket skills. We loved smashing the ball. Andrew was very funny and made us laugh! One, two, three, puppy dogs!

Neil Shaskey

Another busy week for us!!! Today we did some fabulous art discovery with Neil.  We learned all about the color wheel, our primary colours  and how to make complementary colours. We are proud of results!

Book Week

It's been a busy Monday morning in Year 3. Today we were lucky to have the children's author Bill Nagelkerke come and talk to us.  We loved his magic coloring book and story about Rusty. Thank you Bill.

Strike

Today our eardrums nearly burst to the sound of the amazing drumming of Strike. Using marimba, hanging drums and hollow logs they wowed us with their tunes. We were excited and inspired! 

Describe

Today we were doing some collaborative writing based on a picture of an old leaf. We had finished our discussion and drafted a short description of the leaf together. The children had buddied up and were working on their own descriptions. After a wee while I noticed a cluster of kids in animated conversation around the TV. On walking on over I was told that they thought the writing had a weak beginning and they were fighting over how to improve it!! lol!! This is what they eventually came up with! 

A Leaf. 

The leaf swishes around in the air, moved by the wind. It looks like a golden queen's crown that is fragile and delicate like glass. The dead leaf has lots of different shades of brown. It looks rotten and easy to crunch. It rattles constantly in the wind and flutters gently in my hand like a butterfly. When the leaf falls to the ground, it slowly starts to crack along its veins.

My Grandma

My lovely grandma lives in Bishopdale. She has a English accent and she is really funny! She has grey hair and blue eyes .She has lips as red as roses. Grandma, Jill, has wrinkles near her short grey beautiful hair. She has 3 children and 3 grand children. Her children were always getting up to mischief. They would empty out the kitchen cupboards, including the flour, and grandma would yell, "Get out!" When we go over to her house for tea, me and Elia help with the cooking.

I love my grandma and she loves me.

House Assembly

We love getting together in our different Houses for a House Assembly. We have competitions and earn house points. It is so loud with people screaming encouragement!!

Today Jacob bought his catapult to school for the catapult competition. He built it with his uncle who is a builder.  First he made the base. Then he put a piece of metal through the middle so it could flick.  His grandad drilled the holes and connected the piece of rubber. Jacob painted it all at home.

Room 18's Homework Stars

Each week we have to do Homework.  We write 5 spelling sentences. Some people do 10!  You need to pick 5 spelling words and underline the spelling word in red pen. If you are neat, have all your full stops and capital letters with no spelling mistakes, you can be a Homework star.  Some people try to be homework stars every week. The picture below is all of this weeks stars from Room 18.

El Grego Show

Yesterday we went to a fantastically magic show. He showed us a trick where a dove came out of a painting.

Sydelle - our star!

Room 18 decided to celebrate PJ Day by having toast together before school.  The room smelt so yummy that we were hungry again by 10 o'clock.  Luckily we still got to have our fruit break!
