Term 3

Hello world!

We're back!

We have just had 2 weeks of holidays.

Some of us had little trips away.

Some of us went to birthday parties.

Some of us had friends over for sleepovers.

Some of us went to the pool.

Whatever we did we all feel happy to be back at school!

This term 3 is going to be fun!  Today we get a pedometer each to count how many steps we can do.

We are going to be looking at the Olympics.

Miss Macdonald is coming to do lots of teaching.

It is Miss Little's last term with us.  She is going to have a baby boy.  She will miss us but she might bring her baby in to show us.

Keep coming back and reading our blog.

Keep your eye out for out book of the wee this week - it's a good one!

Beautiful Word Clouds

Our friend Jane let Miss little know about this cool website...

http://wordle.net/

You can make word clouds about anything at all!  We decided to make one about Room 3.  We brainstormed all the things we do and are in Room 3.  We are going to make ones about ourselves next!

Book of the Week

One of our favourite books to read is called Pants written by Giles Andreae and Nick Sharratt.

It is about all the different kinds of pants you can wear.  Our faves are, hairy pants, lighting up at night pants, fairy pants and no pants at all! (thats a bit rudey!)  You will have to read the book to find out all the other types of pants.

This is a cool book because of the pictures and it has a CD in the back with a funny man singing the words in different styles.

We love it.

Book of the week

Our book of the week is Dirty Bertie by David Roberts.

We love laughing at Dirty Beritie's dirty habits.  He picks his nose, licks the dog, eats bugs and does wees in his garden.

It's funny, silly and a little bit gross - especially at the end.

A big thumbs up from us!

Poetry Finals

Over the last 2 weeks we have been practicing saying some poems for the speech cup!

Today is the big finals competition.  There are 4 children in room 3 who are in the finals.

They are Abbie Fern, Katelyn Phillips, Cameron Yates and Mya Rolton.  

Poor Abbie is sick today (and it is her birthday!) so Sarah is taking her place.

We have learnt to say our poems without the cards.  We can use loud, slow voices and we can make our voices sound really interesting.  Some children even had actions to go with their poems!

Weekly Wind up

Phew! What a week.  We have been so busy.  We had a wee think about all the things that have been happening this week and decided to let you know.

We had 3 new people start in Room 3 this week.  they are from Room 2 so we knew them already!  Welcome to Sarah, Taylor and Abbie.  We love having you in Room 3!

On Wednesday we had spent all afternoon skipping.  We were raising money for the heart foundation.  We had lots of fun!

In Room 3 we have been learning about the seasons and we decided to use KidPix to draw some pictures of the seasons.  The tricky part was exporting the pictures and saving them in to our own files in student write.  Miss Little says we are so clever.  

We are now using Word to write letters to our penpals in Canada.  They are going on their big summer holidays now!  Lucky them!

A big hi to Ms D who is at home checking in on our blog to see what what we are up to!

Being a great friend!

In Room 3 we have been thinking about how we can be fabulous friends to each other!

We talked about how it feels when you have a fabulous friend, how a fabulous friend sounds and what a fabulous friend looks like!
These are some of the ideas we came up with and think are really important!

You can take turns.

You can take care of people.


You can share your toys.

You can use nice manners.

You can let people play with you.

You can cheer people up.

You can help people and be kind to them.
