Money Go Round

Last Friday we began our Inquiry Unit - Money GO Round. We made our own money, learnt how money goes around, made our own purses to hold our money in.  What exciting things will we do next Friday?

Surprise Visitor!

Today Ronald McDonald came to talk to us about Road Safety.  The main things we need to remember to keep safe are:

• Make sure you wear a seatbelt and make it click when you are in the car.
• Wear a helmet if you are on a skateboard or scooter.
• Walk sensibly on the house side of the footpath.
• STOP! LOOK! LISTEN! before you cross the road.
• Watch out for sneaky driveways.

We loved seeing Ronald McDonald and watching his show today! 

Current News from Matthew

On Friday Matthew shared his current news with us.  He talked about the migration of the Godwits to Alaska.  Did you know they fly for 11,000 km to get there - without stopping.  We were fascinated by Matthew's news.  You did an amazing job at speaking in front of the class clearly and confidently.  Awesome work Matthew.

Certificate Success

Girl Power!  Lily, Lexie and Mrs Toohey were very excited to get certificates in our Assembly this week.  Mrs Norton was so kind to give all the teachers a certificate.  What a treat!

Friday Fun!

Today our poem was called "My Flower."  After we read and illustrated our poems we paired up with a friend and got to plant our own sunflower seeds.  We know that plants need soil, sun, water and lots of singing to in order for them to grow.  We thought it would be fun to see whose sunflower grows the most.  

Writing Magic

Today we had a great time using our imagination in our writing.  We started with the sentence, 'Once there was a very big.....'.  Each child came up with an idea and then made up a story about it.  We had a large range of ideas such as very large hamsters, ants, unicorns, dinosaurs, tomatoes, rainbows and many more.  We also tried to include a simile in our story.  The children did a fantastic job so do come in and read their stories.  

Happy Holidays!

Hi there.  I hope you have all been having a fantastic holiday.  I can't wait to hear all about your holidays on Monday when we come back for Term 4.  Remember to bring your school hat as this is a hat term.  Enjoy the last couple of days relaxing and having fun with your family and see you in Room 9 on Monday.  Here are a couple of pictures of my family on holiday.  Can you spot Mt Cook in the background??

This is the 1000 piece puzzle that we did last week - it was very tricky!
