Happy Holidays Room 3!

Hello my lovely lot from Room 3! This is just a special little hello to you all while we are on holiday! I hope everyone is having a great time and not getting up to TOO much mischief - just the right amount!

Make sure you check out our map - we are getting very close to our 1000 views and there are red dots from all over the world - I wonder if you can find out where some of the new ones are from?
I am off to Auckland tomorrow for one whole week! I am very excited about seeing some old friends and also going to a big conference to learn all about new cool things we can do in the classroom with our computers and cameras!

Take care everyone and I am looking forward to hearing all your tales when we get back to school!
Lots of love
Miss Little

Our Worm Farm

We found a sheltered place to put the worm farm. We had two old tyres, corrugated iron and some blocks of wood.

We started off making the worm farm by putting the iron on the wood and then putting the tyre on the iron.

Some people dug up some compost for the bedding in the worm farm.

We put soil and paper in the tyre for the bedding. You have to put heaps of moist in so the worms can crawl through their beds. We needed wet shredded paper.

The bedding is now ready for the worms to snuggle up in.

We put a container beside the worm farm for the worm wee to go in. Worm wee is great for plants.

Now it is time for the worms.
There looked like there were hundreds of worms. They felt slimy and slithery.

Some people picked up the worms. They gently put them on the bedding.

A kereru came to visit us while we were making our farm. Miss Little thought it was good luck – Connor thought it wanted to eat some worms!

Finally we have finished our worm farm. We feel really excited about looking after it. Now all we need are some food scraps.

Funky Eye Friday!!

We made some crazy glasses to celebrate Funky Eye Friday!

We thought about how important it is to look after our eyes!

Don't we look GORGEOUS?!

Our big rubbish clean up!

Last week it was Keep New Zealand Beautiful week. Each class had a day of the week to walk round and pick up all the rubbish we could see. Our day was Tuesday.

First, Storm handed out gloves for us to wear. We needed a glove so we wouldn't get germs.

We put our gloves on one hand, we had to remember to use this hand to pick up the rubbish!

We had 3 rubbish bags which we filled up with the rubbish we found.

We then went for a big walk round the school. We looked in the flax bushes and along the fence line....

...along the tennis court.......

...and in the bushes.

We found lots of rubbish in here. There were chippie packets, yoghurt pottles, plastic bags, bar wrappers, plastic bottles - so much!

Sometimes we had to look really hard for little bits of rubbish hiding in the ground.

We felt surprised about how much rubbish we found and excited that we had picked it all up! We filled about 2 bags!

Super readers!

Blain and Ethan are super duper readers! They read a book yesterday and then drew some pictures on Kid Pix about the story! We think they are very clever!
